I'm not being sensitive, I just don't see the logic of the argument If you see a group of kids being obnoxious and intimidating, you're gonna avoid them and call the cops, whether or not they match the description of the original group.

The assault isn't alleged. But chances are, if you see a bunch of lanky under 18s, with tracksuits on, faces hidden by masks, lobbing missiles off the roof of the cafe in the park, it's probably the same lot. I'm pretty sure most of them were white, so there was no omission on that front, but I thank you for your generosity in thinking that my bourgeois over-sensitivity would compel me to protect the little scumbags from hurt feelz. However, if I did provide a detailed description here and if you then thought you'd seen a similar-sounding lot hanging around nearby, I'm not sure how this information would be remotely useful to you. Unless you were planning to confront them and ask them if they were on Peckham Rye last week and then give them a right telling off? So it was a strange post.

Agreed Sue - I was suspicious of this post. The poster has only posted once, too. If you were one of those kids, or you know them, I can tell you that I have some excellent photos of some of them on the roof, which I passed to the police. What they did was assault.

One of them climbed a tree and was breaking branches off and lobbing them at people as they walked underneath (myself included). When I stopped, looking shaken, they laughed at me. Then they moved to near the cafe, climbed onto the roof and lobbed a beer bottle, a shoe, and various other things off the roof. One nearly hit a woman sitting there. Needless to say they ran off just as I was calling the police.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a solicitor who specialises in lease law? I'm one of a block of flats which is facing a change in lease and we need some legal advice.

There are some bins in the park specifically for dog poo with lids you have to lift. I never use them because the idea of touching the lids makes me want to hurl.

It does seem particularly bad at the moment and there are definitely fewer bins. The problem with those bins - and presumably the reason they keep getting moved / removed - is that the foxes get into them and empty the contents all over the pavement. It's never pleasant to be greeted by poo bags and dirty nappies strewn across your path first thing in the morning. I don't think the type of person who doesn't pick up their dog's poo is going to change or suddenly start using bins, even if the council issued more. Those of us who pick up after our dogs know where all the bins are and just keep hold of the bag until we reach them.

Many thanks, Tiddles. You're a star!

Hello, does anyone know if I can buy a C02 gas canister for a water carbonator on the high street / in Sainsbury's? I don't recall seeing any on my travels around here.

God forbid that someone didn't get an appointment until it was too late. Not that I want to speculate, but it's not outside the realms of possibility.
