I know that this is a longshot but I thought it was worth a try. This afternoon I lost the diamond/platinum pendant from my necklace. It happened somewhere between The Bishop/HSBC/Jojo Mamam/Goose Green swings/Worlingham Road. The diamond is a good size and is in a modern, round setting. It was a wedding present from my husband and has much sentimental value. There is a reward for it's safe return. Thank you.

OHMYGOD! This is simply frightful. Poor you. I hope that you have insurance.


Clearly it will be spotted and returned asap - because a diamond that size will cause people to trip over it on pavements and blind passers by with it's brilliance. I just hope that the riff raff on Goose Green will hand it over if they find it - that place is virtually Peckham afterall.


By the way dear heart - I believe that it is called a "rub over" setting (sigh) - don't you simply adore good diamonds?

Careful Pongo - you might get barred (and rightly so) if you're rude to DM.


I see however, (admittedly according to Wiki) that Dalmatians 'have very sensitive natures but respond favorably to calm assertive leadership by the pack leader'.

Hi Jaw


I'm afraid I haven't seen you pendant, but just wanted to say I'm really sorry and good luck with finding it.

I can imagine how you must feel, I lost one of the diamonds from my engangement ring once and was so upset. My sister very sensibly reminded me, as I sobbed on her shoulder, that however much sentimental value something has it is still just a symbol. Or as she put it "it's the ring that's broken, not the engangement!"

I found mine inside a handbag, after a very careful search, and had it reset. So, I would advise an extremely careful search of your home, with a powerful torch to highlight dark corners (you know like they do on CSI), just in case you lost it inside.

And remeber (to paraphrase my sensible sister) it's the pendant that's lost, not your marriage or the memories of your wedding day.


Oh, and to defend Pongo, I do understand DM and find her funny, but I thought her trademark satire a little insensitive on this thread which is, after all, about someone losing something precious to them.



ps. In case you're wondering, I do realise that my posts read a bit like I'm one of the people DM is parodying (and see the irony in that), but I'm not honestly!

No - entirely within SE22. The first roads in SE15 are Ondine and Adys - but only the bit beyond St John's Vicarage.


Not sure it helps with the pendant though. Good advice from Asset I'm sure.

Fair enough.


I reckon it wasn't funny at all if you didn't clock that it was tongue in cheek - which itself illustrates a fundamental issue with non-verbal communication. But any levity is inappropriate on this thread due to the serious subject matter.


Edit - spelling, typos etc

    • Hey fellow cat owners! Was hoping that you would consider putting collars with bells on your outside cats? I’ve wee fledglings in a nest and at the moment I’m defending them against an orange and white dude (I call him Trump) and his nemesis, a lovely Tuxedo cat (I call Elon)… they are quite the double act in my back garden!!!! It would give the wee ones a bit of a better chance if a bell could announce their approach. And as a feline owner myself, I know cats will be cats, but every little helps even the odds. many thanks.

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
