...I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to whoever it was that found my son's cuddly monkey (not a real one!) on Upland Road and kindly placed it on a wall. I had to send my poor husband out to walk the streets of ED to find it otherwise a nightmare bedtime was on it's way. Hopefully you read this.

Reminds me of my youngest daughter when on holiday in france. She was already entering her "psycho" two year old stage when she lost her little scrap of cloth that was permanently pressed against her nose whilst thumb sucking. Cue 11 days of misery on a campsite, when a restaurant owner arrived asking of our whereabouts. He'd found this scrap (about 4" sq) and driven 4 miles to return it to us, couldn't and still can't believe it. Angst over! How fluffy is that?

When we went away for New Year we packed nine million bags-worth of things, but forgot our son's irreplaceable bunny. I'll never forget the look of utter outrage and betrayal on his face at bedtime when I hopefully offered him a replacement bunny hastily sourced from a friendly child.


I was a long time sitting down to dinner that night.


So very glad that your cuddly monkey found its home on time!

    • There was good item on Radio 4’s consumer affairs programme You &Yours on 1st December. It was about these CIC fund raising scams and refers to this We R Blighty mob in particular (they have been successfully prosecuted twice and fined for their activities in the City of London). Also mentioned the “knife crime charity” lot who also show up in ED. The advice was to give them nothing and that they are breaking the law. It’s on the BBC Sounds app or via this link  (the item starts at 41m51s in): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n065      I think you know perfectly well that is not what the poster is saying. There are a lot of CICs (there are now 37,000 of them) that have been set up specifically to mislead the public into handing over money. This We R Blighty is one such. These are the details of one of the cases against them in the City last month: https://news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/we-r-blighty-told-to-pay-out-thousands-over-illegal-collections/
    • Are you saying all CICs are dodgy? I think that’s totally unfair.
    • Similar deal to those Hive City guys who also camp outside of M&S, also a dodgy CIC rather than a charity
