Hi, The Gardens Surgery does them by e-mail, too. J

Hear hear ZT!

Me too! :-)

Hi, We used to have hedgehogs regularly. We sometimes fed them - dog food is supposed to be good for them (not milk and bread as sometimes thought). But as far as I know they are quite happy eating what they can find in the way of insects etc. It's great you have one - ours haven't been around for some time, due possibly to the many foxes nowadays. Useful info can be found on the Hedgehog Society website. I don't think you need to worry about it, or remove it to a wood, as they can live quite happily in gardens. Maybe just check there is a way for it to climb out of the pond if it were to fall in - but I think they're quite canny, and ours never fell in! J

Bugs, have you reported this to the council? We reported an incident caused by the negligence of some bin-men (unusual - our are usually really careful) last year, and got a good response. Worth trying... J

Yes it was great. Thanks to the choir, and everyone involved - including the warden who cheerfully told us it was his job to stay until it was completely out - likely to be at least 3am!

Sounds good - thanks everyone! J

Does anyone know if there'll be a beacon on One Tree Hill tonight, and if so what time? Thanks

Oh AbsolutelyGlorious, what a picture!!! :))

Hi Handyman, Thank you for this - haven't laughed so much for ages! :)) J

What a horrendous experience tfayers! I'm glad you managed to scream - it must have been so difficult in the circumstances. And well done to your neighbours for coming down. I totally agree about the attack alarm - I've got them for my teenaged children who are out at night probably more than I am. The Suzy Lamplugh Trust sell various alarms online, and their website is very informative. Hope you'll recover well, take care, J

Thanks!

Does anyone know where in Upland?

Hi Tarafitness, so sorry to hear about your son's accident, and glad he wasn't injured even more seriously. That leg looks nasty - hope he recovers soon.

I met him too. I think he's genuine. He didn't ask to come into my garden, just asked me - and my neighbour - to have a look. His garden is at the back of ours, so it seemed reasonable to think the cat might have strayed over to our side. Hope he finds him. Apparently he's a grey burmese with - yes - a bent tail.

Plain denim blue, wool-mix carpet, about 3 years old - very good condition. ?50. 12ft by 9ft 6ins - was fitted in a small bedroom, but could be cut to size. Around ?250 new. SE22. Please PM. J27

What a drag. Might be worth ringing them again though - they told us things don't always turn up straight away. Or leave them your tel.no, in case - expect you've done that. But I suppose things worth stealing, like your son's, might just get stolen, sadly. Yes, teenagers ... I'm told they grow out of it...

We had a similar problem a few months ago. We googled to find out the bus garage for that particular bus route, then phoned them straight away. They told us to call back at a time when all the buses would have returned for the day, which we did. Eventually the lost stuff was found, and we went in to collect it. They told us they keep lost property for a couple of days only, then it is sent to a central LT lost property office. So if you can get in quickly, you may retrieve your things before they're sent away. We found the staff very helpful, and we were very relieved to get the stuff back (it was my daughter's GCSE art coursework - priceless!) Good luck!

Many thanks from us too - a lovely community event. Thanks to everyone for contributing, and to the organizers for all your hard work!

Yes, definitely - she's going to label all her important books from now on!

Hi intexasatthemoment, yes, we tried the bus depot and it was eventually handed in in the middle of the night. My daughter is hugely relieved - she reckoned there was about 60 hours hard work in there! If this happens to anyone else, I would definitely recommend contacting the bus depot directly (not the central Lost Property people as it takes a while to get there). The Camberwell depot were really helpful - after our initial enquiry in the early evening, they suggested contacting them again in the middle of the night when all the buses were back, which we did. Thanks for your concern!

NOW FOUND! LOST - Friday afternoon (19 Nov), possibly on Peckham Rye Common, or the 343 bus, some time after 3.15pm. Black A3 hardback sketch book, containing GCSE course work - lots of portraits, anatomical drawings etc. My daughter is desperate to get it back, so if you've seen it lying about on the common or on the bus, please pm or e-mail me. Many thanks!
