See now what you've done!


I am too.... ahem..."working" from home in the back garden.......but curious now as to which threads tempted the "Sean" ish....?


Is it possible (in theory) to take gardening leave, from gardening leave ? If so I think I'm doing It...ahh..



W***

I'm not working from home - I'm on genuine holiday! No abroad for me this year me , so less of thing wink-wink


But as to *Bob*'s OP - yes it is hot, yes beer is lovely and that spicy chicken dish I just cobbled together hit the spot nicely after some tennis. Now if only I had some lovely open-air gig to go to, my day would be made..


oh wait...

Seeing as this looks the place for inconsequential chatter, perhaps you could put your beer-enhanced brains to this.


I was just getting into someone else's conversation on the train and it went exactly like this:


"Yeah, it's going down all the time isn't it. We can buy New York."


Pause.


"I put a bid in at 4:45 and to be sixty over we need 16.75. That's still valid until tomorrow morning."


Then I had to get off. Apart from learning that someone thought you could by New York for 4:45, I have no idea what was going on here. Anyone have a clue what this could have been about? I must know.

Cheers Citizen. All sorted now. My attention was distracted by a woman down the carriage fanning herself with a black lace fan - an unusual site on the 15:03 to Peckham Rye. She slightly spoiled the effect by visibly exhaling a gasping "F'kinell", but all the same, full marks for the fan.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
