Hi, I'm just after an update.


I visit ED every couple of weeks, and leaving tonight at about 7pm on Crystal Palace Road I was forced to stop the car because of a large, very confused duck or goose walking around in the road. It didn't seem to want to take off, perhaps because of the fog and the dark.


A couple who were passing on foot also stopped in concern, and said they couldn't leave it there, and assured me they would call the RSPB or someone appropriate locally.


If they're reading this, can they update me on what happened to the poor thing? Most London traffic I get stuck behind doesn't have feathers!


Thanks-

Serena

A relative of ours once had a swan 'stuck' in their garden and called a rescue organisation to collect it. They did and said it was common for swans, geese and other big water-birds to get stuck in gardens, confined spaces etc as they need a huge area for take off.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?

      A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post

      I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?

      Certainly unique, can't argue with that.
