A Google will tell you. These are just a few examples which came up first.

I got mine through the post with their mag (I'm a member) but if you haven't signed up yet, you can download a printable guide from the RSPB website (you need to scroll down quite a way). https://www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happening/big-garden-birdwatch

I am not trying to "emotionally blackmail" anybody. What a very strange thing to say.

I know a couple whose twelve year old son drowned in an overcrowded swimming pool on a day when no lifeguard was there. This was a long time ago, but maybe just be thankful that these days more safety measures are in place, however inconvenient they may be for some people?

Any update on the injured fox? Hope it got help one way or another, poor thing.

I haven't watched/read the links yet, but I just got this email this morning: You’re receiving this email because you signed the petition: “Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only”. Dear *** Parliament debated the petition you signed – “Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only” Watch the debate: https://www.youtube.com/live/G1ntVoBByDE Read the transcript: https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2026-01-19/debates/C0AE7A79-B8C1-4E33-8CB7-A9AAD98B62E6/SaleOfFireworks Read the research: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn05704/ The petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559 Thanks, The Petitions Team House of Commons ETA: Well. I read a large part of the very lengthy transcript of the debate, but when I skipped to the end, it seems there were no action points. I am not familiar with parliamentary debates. What happens now ? Is that it? Is there some minister who shoves it somewhere near the bottom of their in tray (old school methods) where it will never see the light of day again? It seems like there have been previous similar petitions going back years, and still nothing has changed.

So why are/were they "real"? Does the word have a different meaning in estate agent speak?

It was "pretend" as opposed to the "real" estate services you criticised in your first post! I thought it was funny too. It's just a play on words.

Fox Angels have local volunteers in this area and will come out to foxes in East Dulwich very quickly if contacted via a direct message through their Facebook page (not posted on the page itself).

I'm laughing at the reason for your edit 🤣

Please don't start now! Vapes still contain nicotine and you can still get addicted.

Would downstairs at the EDT work? It is very noisy at weekends, but quiet on some weekdays (though sometimes there are mum and baby gatherings!), the back room is nice and the food is ok and reasonably priced. I'm not sure about disabled toilets, you would need to check that out, but there are men's and women's toilets on the ground floor. Or The Palmerston or The Lordship, though I think their food is more expensive and the space isn't so nice as the EDT (in my opinion). I'm assuming in each place you can just have tea, coffee or soft drinks. You would have to ask about the specific food requirements, but surely these days most if not all places serving meals cater for things like vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free/dairy free needs? Or, Franco Manca (pizzas) do vegan aka dairy free cheese options I think (one of my grandchildren is dairy free, but I can't now remember if we had to take our own cheese in for her when she was little - a long time ago! Haven't eaten there for years, so I don't know what it's like now). Or, can't remember if it has been mentioned already, but possibly the Italian place near the bus stop - Due Fratelli?? - though it's not particularly cheap, there aren't a lot of vegetarian options in the pasta range (though the ravioli was tasty) and I can't remember if the toilets are on the ground floor or downstairs, or if there is a disabled toilet.

Anything could have happened. There may have been a medical or family emergency for all you know. In my experience Tommy Rooney has been an excellent communicator, and your description of him doesn't sound like him at all. ETA: I notice looking back at posts on this thread that last April I said that Tommy wasn't responding to messages. I can't now remember what the reason for the non response was, but I do remember that he did come to my boiler emergency, which was just as well as I wouldn't have wanted to use anyone else. Clearly he needs to use some kind of automated message system which would kick in if he couldn't answer the phone within a certain time.

I agree. I'm just glad I gave up decades ago. I used to smoke very heavily (tobacco, not anything else!) and if I was still smoking that heavily now I probably couldn't afford to eat! Not to mention the effect on my health. But when I was growing up almost everybody smoked. How times have changed! BTW what on earth is "fake tobacco"? What is it if it isn't tobacco?
