lenk, won't assume you are a homeowner of a property bought more than five years ago, but if you are.......


I just know it has crossed your mind that the property value hikes in ED have likely tripled said property, so......


Foxton's and the city types with sprogs have actually created a healthy retirement fund for those who have been around for a while. I'm not currently a property owner, but I certainly wish I had bought a four bed terrace for ?200,000 five years ago!

I think the Barry House asylum seekers should be moved into ED Foxtons. Then they can lounge about feeding each other free grapes and having tax-payer funded group sex in full view of bob and Tiger Ranks. At the moment if you want a peek of a traumatised, lost and lonely person thousands of miles from home, you have to sneak up the alley to the side of Christchurch and peer in through the windows. And that sort of thing can so easily be misinterpreted.

The day I engage in a 'house prices' chat in the internets is well, um, a bad day.


It's not the money anyway, it's the people. they bring with them all manner of idiocy and narrow-minded values.


anyways, Foxes. Or is this the Foxton's thread.

Right. "They" are narrow-minded, whereas you, of course, are enlightened and broad minded. Except that you constantly judge, generalise and dismiss people on the basis of class, colour, profession, parental status or anything that makes them not exactly like you.


Do you really not see the irony in your, somewhat tired and tedious, stance?

what a middle-class thing to postzzz

My cats chase the foxes in my garden. The foxes seem terrified of the cats and won't go near them and my cats are soft little cats - not aggressive cats. The cats are certainly in charge.

I was worried at first but so far the only thing that they seem to do is steal my shoes if I leave them near the back door. They all seem to have a terrible shoe fetish.

Try 10 years ago...


Sorry... anyway... Michael J Fox. Terrible what happened to him. Have you seen the video of him on Youtube talking about stem cell research?

But they do have winning smiles and, apparently, are very kind to their dear old mums!

we have four cats (dont ask it just happened) and a lot of foxes in our garden, some days we see the oldest cat lying in the sun with a fox doing the same right near her, there seems to some sort of truce going on, we have seen the cats and foxes nose to nose and having a sniff of each other. i think some young cats are at risk, but foxes seem to keep away from larger adult cats as they know they can do some damage if provoked
the cat in question was "a bit of a goer" before we adopted her from a neighbor who just let her have litter after litter, to which we put a stop too (after keeping two of her last litter ourselves) she is a pedigree too so was probably quite attracted to a cocky south london fox, a bit of rough if you like, if she did have sunglasses they would have been D&G :)

    • The co-op uses ATMs operated by Cardtronics, and they also operate a digital ATM service (meaning he could have made those transactions electronically).  That cashpoint is operated by Natwest. It sounds like he brought up their 'Get Cash' scheme screen as the distraction (a way that allows Natwest customers to withdraw cash without needing to use their card). So he was using a skimming device to steal your card in that moment, but brought up the Get Cash screen to distract you while he did that. Your confusion was just long enough for him to get away. Card thieves are incredibly slick. Here is some info on Natwest Get Cash for reference - 'To use a Get Cash code at a NatWest ATM, you first initiate the withdrawal through the NatWest mobile app, which generates a secure code. You then visit a compatible ATM (NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, or Tesco ATMs). At the ATM, press the "Enter" key and follow the on-screen prompts, entering the code twice. The code is valid for 3 hours, and if expired, funds will be recredited to your account.' I use that cashpoint all the time, so it's good to know if a local thief is targetting Natwest ATMs.  
    • So, i've had time to think about ever step of this incident. The main points are: I'd entered my pin number and was on the screen/page where you put in how much you want to withdraw At exactly that point the guy appeared and said the machine had taken his card, and started waving his hands over screen A 'menu' option came up on screen with two choices, one bottom left, one bottom right The bottom left option said something about entering a code to continue with transaction The guy was saying "press that or it'll take your card" - I didn't press either but he might have I haven't ever seen these on-screen options before - I didn't enter any details The guy then disappeared I pressed the 'cancel' button on keypad - the physical keypad - same screen options remained - no card was returned Within 30 seconds of me realising card wasn't coming out I froze card on banking app and immediately had two txt msgs from bank saying transactions were being declined (but one for £251 had already gone though). The ref on bank statement for all three was: CARDTRONICS UK LTD BT KIOSK O/S 54 EA. Bank statement also said the date, time and that there was a £1.50 ATM withdrawl fee.  I checked to see if there's a cashpoint in newsagent next door, but there's not. The cashpoint at petrol station is free so no ATM fee there eiher.   
    • Indeed and I am sure many will go for the music, which I also like. But, for me, at least, none of that makes up for or justifies the wider impact on the park, on the flora and fauna, on the parks' regular users, and on those living near by that are distressed by the noise- the next three days will not be Lover's Rock. In terms of overall impact, we are also talking weeks and months, with the aftermath always problematic with the main area so damaged it has to be reseeded each year and is rendered unusable the rest of summer. My biggest fear is that they will start to grow and add to this event, each year.
    • Please help us find Yun LAU.  He was last seen on Dunstans Road at 12.30 today (23/5/25). He has dementia and is quite deaf. If found, please call police who have his details, or his daughter Jennie (07769666524)
