What a great story and thanks to lozzyloz for raising this.


In an increasingly secular world we wonder where our children's values will come from and be guided by. I think we all hope that it will be based on decency, doing the right thing and be treated others how we would want to be treated by them.


10 years ago my tutor at University stood for the Natural Law Party, we all sniggered at his yogic flying and meditation sessions. But he was a credible and intelligent man. He explained the basis of the idea is simply to pass on good vibes- it spreads to others. A happier place is a safer, more productive, better place. It's easy.


Listening to "Thought for the day" on Radio 4 last week was about this too. The speaker said that giving a receiving is the best thing we can do.


So on a small scale the least we can do is give and receive a smile, say thank you or hello. It costs nothing, it takes no time. Pass it on - I wonder what would happen if everyone reading this does it.......

I had a similar incident with a prescription from a private consultant (that would have cost a fortune to have gone back to ask for a copy) I left in Somerfield.


It was sent straight back to me first class with no note as who from....


so if you read this - THANK YOU!!!!


:)

It's a long shot but I was hoping that my thanks (or good vibes) would get back to whoever perpetrated such a good deed (if so contact me for reward).


Perversely, many many years, ago my wallet was stolen from my jacket as it hung up behind my office door. Begrudgingly I wrote it off, but was upset for sentimentality of the contents reasons. A week later it turned up at my old flat via the post. The "thoughtful" thief had popped it into a post box after emptying it of cash and the PO sent it to the address on an old library ticket.


So if there are any muggers, pickpockets or bag-snatchers reading this, perhaps you could do the same!

    • Hello,  I am interested to know people's opinion regarding dogs left tied up outside shops.  As I am hoping most dog owners are aware of how high risk it is now for dog theft.  People's houses are targeted for dog theft, even waiting to have a dog out in their back gardens, even for few minutes, to steal.  This is a very common occurrence now, as is breaking into properties to steal dogs.  The reasons behind dog theft varies, from using to breed, sell on, to use to sit whilst asking for money, (obviously not all people asking for money are dog thieves & may well own their own dog) and for dog bait for fighting.  This is not me being a drama queen, it is there for anyone to research regarding dog theft.  So would you leave your dog tied up outside a shop? 
    • I don't know if any of the cricket or tennis clubs also have little gyms. There are also pilates studios on Melbourne Grove, Blackwater St, North Cross Rd and even the community hall of the church on Calton Ave. The David Lloyd gym in Orpington is very luxurious and expensive.  
    • HI CPR Dave, I have to agree with Dogkennelhillbilly. We still have net migration into the country as per the Office of National Statistics- https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration It may go negative in a year or two if pundits specialising in this are correct, but it isn't yet. Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, I don't think your maths is correct. Southwark Council states total empty homes at 8,588 -https://southwarknews.co.uk/news/housing/southwark-has-over-8500-empty-homes/ the total number of homes is 135k. Which means 6.36% are empty. However, while canvassing came across an empty home which does not appear to have been appreciated by Southwark Council who are now investigating whether the empty Home Council Tax Premium should have been applied for the last 10+ years. It seems likely the 8,588 is under reporting the number of empty homes.  Infill sites are defined by most public bodies was non strategic sites from a development perspective. The railway yard and other sites are in the Southwark strategic plans and thus would not be infill sites.  Tall buildings planted into lower surrounding suburban areas is a subjective matter whether they are viewed as out of character for the area. It is factually true that I think they are out of character. Equally you have no qualms about such tall buildings being planted into the SE22 area. 
    • the southwark gyms- dulwich leisure centre and pekham, camberwell-  are great and there are a number of private gyms as outlined above. There are a few private ones in peckham too gym group I think amongst others
