I know this is just nature being red in tooth and claw, but my neighbour's cat has bloody gone and terrorised a starling baby bird. Scores of starlings are now screeching about my house. It's unnecessary for a cat to kill for pleasure. Please let your cat wear a bell to try to stop this kind of thing happening. Not sure if the little thing is dazed or bitten and therefore probably infected with deadly bacteria. It's the last thing I need. Nero

Cats should wear bells in order to allow my sound-guided chaingun garden accessory to turn them into a pretty Jackson Pollock of red and pink textured smears.


Huguenot,


in a bid to save the cats of east Dulwich from your felicidic tendencies I implore you to take out your artistic frustrations here instead. You'll need your mouse though;-)


Jackson Pollock

This is a particular bugbear of my husbands', he hates it when he sees cats maiming/killing birds. I remember a few years back when after my then 8 year old hearing one of my husbands rants, knocked next door and told my (snotty) neighbour that they should put a bell on their cat as it was killing our wildlife. She informed him that HER CAT would never commit such an horrendous deed. About a week later we saw her husband take a bird out of said cats mouth and throw it behind their shed!!


It should be law to wear a bell say I!!

Yes I agree completely. And teenage girls should all be made to throw away any clothes that display their toned abdominal areas. Loose fitting polo shirts should be worn by all of them - by law. And men should not ever wear sandals if they have hairey toes...

    • Wow  So many armchair accident investigators putting forward their theorys. My thoughts are that we should wait for an official investigation to tell us what actually happened. 
    • Chester is a large ginger and while cat with a fluffy tail. He went missing from Casino Avenue on April 8. We only recently adopted him from Battersea, so he may be a bit disorientated. Please check any sheds or garages in case he's got trapped - he's not the cleverest cat. If you spot him please contact 07905 209 508. He does have a microchip.
    • Hi. Have you managed to find any groups in the area? I'm also a woman with ADHD and looking for support/discussion ideally locally.
    • Went to the junction today to check the "scene of the event" to try and work out from the tyre marks on the road and the damage to the kerb, what were the contributing factors to the accident. Here are my observations and deductions. 1.Compaction type refuse collection trucks, such as these, are exceptionally "tail-heavy" due the the weight of the hydraulic compaction mechanism and the fact that this weight is positioned on the  rear overhang ie behind the rear wheels. 2. To compensate for the extra weight, the truck is fitted with a "tag axle". The tag axle is located  forward of the rearmost axle. When fully laden, all the rear tyres will be running at very close to their operating limit. 3. The tag axle has only 2 wheels as opposed to 4 wheels on the rearmost axle. So on either side at the rear, there a three wheels. So if one rear tyre on the near side has lost pressure,  the weight carried by the remaining two is increased by 50%. 4. Being tail-heavy with a high centre of gravity, the driver of such vehicles should be ultra cautious when cornering. 5. When turning to the right,  the weight imposed on near side tyres is further increased depending on the speed involved. 6. The two long curved tyre marks on the road  suggest that only two of the 3 tyres on the near side were taking the weight.  7 These curved tyre marks end abruptly and I'm trying to work out exactly why. This spot is  very close to where the  near side rear wheels  slide up against the kerb and the wheel rims gouge out chunks  of the kerb stones. There is a possibility that the driver braked late and so caused the tyres to loose all grip and so slide into the kerb. If there are any forensic traffic experts around, I would welcome their take on this.
