Two places that haven't specifically been covered are Athenlay football field and the golf course. If anyone is in those areas, would be grateful if they could have a look. Long shot I know, but it is comforting to know that we are trying everything possible.

I am thinking of all of Pat's family and friends during this awful time. Please could you contact me when the next search is going on, I would like to come and help. Let me know any way I can help. Also, local residents who don't read this forum have approached me asking how they can help.


Has anyone looked on the covered reservoir (not the golf course one) next to Nunhead Cemetery?


Renata

Thank you so much for thoughts...

Quickly before i go out, the resevoir was covered by police on saturday afternoon. If anyone would like to help if you would like to meet @ 1330, Linden Grove outside Nunhead cemetry that would be lovely, we will then have certain areas which will have organised to search and to cover.

Regarding BBC and ITV cameras are tied up and stretched resources apparently due to the Euros.WTF!!!

Again myself and the rest of the family are overwhelmed by the support we are getting from the police and the whole of the community.

See all who are wanting to join the search for grandad @ 1330 nunhead cemetry-linden grove entrance

Adam - all of us at The Rose are thinking of you - and remember - just focus on the family and finding grand-dad. Make sure you are eating and sleeping - not sure if you have been back? I'll check with Nadia later. We are missing you. Wish we could manage our time more to come and help and if we can we will. See you later.

Hi


My name is Suzanne I am a friend of Eileen who is one of Patrick's daughters and have spent time with Patrick and the rest of the family. I have been helping in the search for Patrick by expanding the message via Social Media in particular Facebook & Twitter. I have set up a page in Facebook and I really need your help apart from everything else you have been kind enough to do with putting up posters and already informing your social networks.


Would you go along to the Page in Facebook and LIKE & SHARE it. We have already gained a reach of over 18,000 people, and this forum seems an ideal place to get people in the area to expand the news and hopefully trigger someones thoughts as to his whereabout.


Patrick Connelly Missing Facebook Page

Very long shot, but I am sending out a newsletter today which goes to over a thousand people, and I will include links to the Facebook page.


Will also put it on the Goose website homepage.


Only takes one person to see it who might have some information.


Thinking of you all.

lready done - shared through the Rose House link on fb and twitter as well as our own personal accounts. Im going to print some of the posters today with the photos and put more around outside and inside the pub.


We will repost every day.

Just to keep you updated, I have posted on all the ITV and BBC and Channel 4 Facebook Pages, that are of news relevance, some of them took the post off immediately, some don't allow you to post and some have left it on. I also have a friend that is the co-presenter of Steve Wrights show and have contacted her. Waiting for her to come back to me. Hopefully it will be on the front page of a Southwark newspaper as well. I have posted on Radio 1, but I will post on the other radio channels. I know someone else is calling them as well.


Keep suggestion and ideas coming.

Heartbreaking to hear about this and I really hope the family get some solace form the amazing response. Just an idea but is there anyway to reach out to black cab drivers en masse? They are on the road 24/7 all over London.


Hope you get your grandad back safe and sound as soon as possible

I am pretty disappointed that BBC/ITV etc are not covering the story. This may seem a bit of a long shot, but perhaps going to RTE in Ireland would help? If they did something, perhaps it would make BBC/ITV do something? RTE would have contacts. I am a little removed from the popular radio shows there now, but I think there is Jo Duffy on RTE1. Also reaching out to 2FM for one of the morning shows would be good, because they have good ratings and are in public places etc.. With your links to Connemara and your concern that he may head to Ireland, I think this is a viable route to gain publicity and perhaps feed back to the UK.


UTV is another route (ITVs equivalent in Northern Ireland).. Just ideas! I wish I could be more helpful.

Thanks for help everyone. We have approached local radio stations but they've been a bit ploppy.


Using the Irish media sounds a good tactic. We'll give that a try. Connacht Tribune is the local rag.


If anyone has personal contacts, please would you pull some strings.

You could always contact the Galway Advertiser who have a Facebook page, well that's if your concentrating on the Connemara area, it's the county paper! Just a thought!

I tried ringing a radio show in Ireland but it went to voicemail. I've now emailed RTE (three radio shows, at either prime times or popular presenters). Once Mum gets in contact with me, she may be able to help further, I'll let you know.


Peckhamgatecrasher - I will pm you

    • The voters in these redwall seats all complain of a broken Britain etc etc - yet see no connection between the  country voting tory for 14 years and those towns voting for Brexit despite being warned it would lead to problems - they just moan about everything - often quite correctly (services are expensive or being cut, roads are a state, housing is expensive etc etc) but when you ask them when things were better.. well the answer is either    a) under a labour government when we part of the EU or b) some fictional Facebook sepia tinted picture of Britain "when you could leave your front door open, we didn't know how lucky we were" Voters say they want the truth but when someone sane (if dull and sometimes wrong) gets into power and says "lads, things are worse than we realised" they bleat about a lack of instant fixes and say it's wrong to keep blaming the last government (despite the lie about Labour crashing the economy in 2008 STILL being a stick labour get beaten with in 2025) as for rejoining the EU - the barriers are immense - you have a press and a large portion of teh population that will behave just abysmally. You have an electorate that recognises the mistake but is all very English and "made out beds, mustn't grumble" etc etc - no backbone. And you have an opposition party (or two) that is plain bonkers and when labour do lose power they would renege/reverse any progress made in matters EU in seconds Meanwhile EU countries can see all this clearly and have no incentive to engage until this country grows up and is able to demonstrate they won't act hysterically when reintegration starts
    • This is an extract from an edition with Dave Walker, mediator extraordinaire, born at the Elephant & Castle and still living in Southwark. One of his great achievements is training young people to be peer mediators ... who even step in to work with disputing adults! Just shows what can be achieved and who can achieve it. Pretty much anyone and everyone.  Next week we publish a special edition with Jo Berry who has very powerful story to tell. Further more, there was an invited audience of local people young and old, with whom she engaged in open discussion for an hour. Insights galore!
    • Yes, given the clear (and predictable) failure of Brexit, all the negative effects, and the overwhelming proportion of people agreeing that it has failed, I really can't understand why Labour have gone down the "making it work" road. But then I have no idea of what reversing some or all of it might involve. Also, Reform don't mention Brexit much, do they? If at all.  They push other aspects of what they say they stand for. So the people inclined to vote for them have probably completely forgotten they were ever associated with Brexit.
    • Latest news from the sunlit uplands, on the same day the UK economy 'unexpectedly' shrank 0.1%... As an aside, the cognitive dissonance shown by large parts of the UK electorate over Brexit is quite a thing to behold. I don't think it's controversial to say that Brexit is now considered by a large % of the population to have failed, with the % who see it as a success in single figures. Yet, initial polling for the upcoming Runcorn by-election shows Reform winning what is a relatively safe Labour seat. Now I get protest votes and all that, but Reform were literally the Brexit Party before the rebrand. If there's such a large consensus that Brexit failed, why would so many even consider voting for a party that actively helped deliver Brexit and all the known economic damage it would cause? And that's before you even get to the fantasy economics it presented at the last General Election. Labour haven't helped themselves either, by pursuing a nonsensical 'We can make Brexit work' approach, they have in effect made themselves impotent when it comes to attacking Reform and what they stand for...
