Kid on bike targeting people in Dulwich
Maria Mac replied to Rockets's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Hi all, witnessed a tall youth all in black with black Balaclava on black bike with battery pack gaffa taped on frame steal a mobile phone off a guy in Dulwich park this afternoon. The guy rode round me 3 times eyeballing as if teasing me to photograph him. He then spotted the chap take his phone out of pocket and swiped it. He was all in black, and face covered but a slim black youth. -
Hi there, I too need prescription drugs but the price of the prescription has also gone up a few pounds in ND. I was recommended a small dosage tablet for my dog which would have cost £6 in total a day! I got a second opinion from another vet and they couldnt see what difference having her on one of the recommended drugs would make. So removed one and I got the larger tablet (so much cheaper) and split it! The financial directir of nv holds over 400 directorships?

Hi, just in case any dog walkers or folk up at the palace I appear to have dropped my phone on a walk there earlier. Would have been in front field next to dinos nursery or on oath with bulbs by the hanging bell memorial. Its a battered phone with a purple silicone cover. Pm and I can contact you if anyone finds. Thanks all

Having been the subject of a scam call yesterday after a dog I was walking ran off can I make you aware of the process scammers take. My info was posted on DOGSLOST and within 4o mins of the posting I got a call from a private id. He said 'I have your dog' but wouldn't give any address info then proceeded to seem concerned that he was taking to the dog owner so could I identify the dog... my suspicions were raised and he then said do you want the dog? I want ?500 or will kill the dog. THIS IS VERY DISTRESSING but I would say don't give them details they may not have and leave some vital info out of the description you may post so you can ask them to identify the dog. I did this and was then sure this was a hoax call. NOTE the man has a heavy SCOUSE accent and very threatening. Below is the info from Dogslost which may be helpful to read through: Please can I make you aware of scammers targeting owners of lost and stolen dogs for money, stating that they have your missing dog/s - most likely will be a MALE, SCOUSE ACCENT, NO CALLER ID They 90% do not have your dog - you can ask for a photo to be send of your dog there and then (they most likely will refuse) or ask a question only you know the answer to (e.g - distinctive mark / colour or pattern on collar) be aware they can read DogLost registrations, and know some of these answers if you?ve included it on registration. They can scam you in different forms, being by phone call / or a text message / WhatsApp etc. Report to action fraud - https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/reporting-fraud-and-cyber-crime - if the scammer passes over bank details. E-mail in to [email protected] so that we can log details and then get details straight over to investigating officer They can state they have your dog (may say found it straying) or it was involved in a accident (e.g - RTA) and want money to pay for bill etc ASAP, they can say they?ve bought your dog off someone and want to keep it and want to pay you, they can make up a story to try and trick you - DO NOT SEND ANY BANK DETAILS. Theses can be horrid so please be prepared. Please send any information, if you get a call / text to your local Police and report; get an incident/CRN if you believe your dog has been stolen and send into the DogLost admin. Most Importantly DON'T SEND ANY MONEY ANYWHERE.

Bike stolen out side Dulwich sports centre
Maria Mac replied to Natty's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Hi, whilst going up Crystal palace road today in a car we were passed by a speeding motorbike followed by another... And the front bike had 2 riders, the pilion one wearing a cover over their face carrying a black and yellow metal bar like thing which could then have been a grinder. They had just stolen a bike and clubbed a builder on the head as he heard the noise of them outside. The roofer working by the house were the incident took place recognised the motorbike as they had cruised by earlier when they must have been casing the area. So totally agree with the comment above that confronting these guys can lead to violence as the poor guy today was assaulted. -
Neowise comet - where to see it from locally?
Maria Mac replied to PSJ's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
More interesting things to see: https://www.firstpost.com/tech/science/five-planets-crescent-moon-will-line-rare-pre-dawn-spectacle-today-20-july-8611061.html/amp I saw Neowise 2 weeks ago when in Sussex. Using a sky track app find the star Capella and it was down a little to left. As I was in a dark sky place you could see it at night with naked eye but not as suggested 2 hours before sun rise. -
Dog illness, is it just circulating on the Rye?
Maria Mac replied to Maria Mac's topic in The Lounge
Thanks for your comments. The dogs I know who are ill are still energetic and eating so sorry to hear Tiddles about your dog having a bad case of whatever it is. A friend shared this newsfeed: https://vethelpdirect.com/vetblog/2020/02/03/new-vomiting-bug-hitting-uk-dogs/ -
Dog illness, is it just circulating on the Rye?
Maria Mac replied to Maria Mac's topic in The Lounge
Thanks all. I will keep an eye on any updates. M -
Hi, as a local dog walker seeing and hearing of quite a few dogs coming down with the runs and vomiting, can any dog owners shed light if they have been to the vets? Will this pass quickly? Dogs energetic and eating so I have advised any I walk to keep up the fluids and go on booked rice and chicken. If any dogs are going to vomit on the rye please collect it than leave for others (if you can bag it please), or don't mix for a few days until illness over? Many thanks m

I don't trust the auto machines inside. Twice used and twice got the cash amounts wrong and the machine lost ?20 in the process of attempting to count then broke down. They gave me the money back but not using them again.

Are happy with Virgin Media Reliability? - Lordship Lane
Maria Mac replied to MarkV's topic in The Lounge
3 of us have had terrible experiences on Dunstans Road... I ended up regularly emailing their MD and after being incorrectly told I couldn't leave as under contract (not correct) they refunded me a bit and said the outage was so regular they were saying people could leave... few weeks with NowTV and seems fine as have a BT line going into the flat. My neighbour also changed to BT. At times we had days of no connection with virgin. -
did mention Morley College. There's a Dulwich drawing group. Cass Art in London do a lot of meet ups to talk about materials.

Smashed wing mirrors all up Dunstans Road
Maria Mac replied to Paolo.S's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Hi, did you get anywhere with this. I came back on Wed to find my mirror had been broken and disappeared. Unfort no sign to even try to reconnect it so had to buy a new one. Wish they had left it on the pavement! M -

Virgin Media Outage - Northcross Road
Maria Mac replied to Neil.P's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Can I just add to the comments on Virgin... a month of little, they call it intermittent, broadband. Now streaks and tv signal breaking down constantly. And they offered a ?10 COMPENSATION then the next day when I called with another problem no credit placed on the account. The service has been awful. -
Thanks so much to the lady and great that you know Barry Cub Fox is doing so well! Run Barry, Run!!!
-
Just in case... to say thanks to the lady who helped bundle me into a helpful van who stopped to help me get a lost fox cub to the helpful Neighbourhood vets on Thursday. Little 'Barry' as he's now called has caused a stir online and is with the national fox welfare society and looking good! I know not all of you will be fox fans out there but he is a cutie! Thanks to the vets for helping me. M

Peregrines in the park (now identified as a not so common buzzard
Maria Mac replied to Maria Mac's topic in The Lounge
Thanks for all your comments and yes I did have that thought should we step in and help the bird or as Titch says let nature do it's thing... and yes I expected this comment... well you gotta go with your heart and we couldn't see such a fabulous bird brought down and killed. And yes, those comments are right... here's the latest info from the Peregrine centre: Hi Maria, Thanks for your email. This bird is a Common Buzzard ? not what I was expecting as they're anything but 'common' in London itself, although they are regularly seen around the outskirts of the London area now. Peckham Rye Park is not so far out from the centre so I would imagine this is a bird, possibly a young one, that was passing through the area when it was mobbed by the crows. If you find out where it was taken too I'd be interested to know what happened to it. I'd expect after a bit of a rest it would be fine to be on its way again. Kind regards, Stuart Harrington
