  Remember to cancel you order after a couple of hours of ordering and wait for them to call you to offer further discount. It’s worked for someone here recently?

  Me: Just got word from our big boss, we are not going back to to office until at least July and quite probably not until Sept... You like?

  Patch: FFS! Go work in a park or something and leave me alone.

  While I think CHAT is a great cat charity, there comms leave much to be desired. Don’t be offended if they never get back to you, just keep trying. You might also be better off sending them messages on FB. They seem quite active in social media.

  How it is? How is it?

  My K6 arrived in London with Royal Mail on 1 April, that's right, over a month ago, they tried to deliver and I missed it, they wouldn't redeliver nor let me pick it up because there is never the something for you card. RM head office have asked for the local depot for actions 4 times, but even they couldn't get a response from their colleagues. I feel really really bad because it's not an urgent nor necessary item. I am not sure why other than they are really thin on the groud, but all our local posties and drivers are seen on my street most days...

  Keychron has just sent a replacement end of last week so hopefully not long for me now... I have to say, keychron's comms have been top notch.

  Some places will try to rehome pairs that have bonded. Could be an option?

  I used to lock mu catflap after about 9-10pm, whenever Patch has come back inside. These days, I very rarely lock the flap because she is a self made indoor cat, also I am confident that my nieghbourhood is quiet enough for if she wants to pop out for a quick wander or do a poop in the middle of the night, she could. BUT my catflap leads to gardens back to back, also I only started doing this 3 or 4 years ago knowing Patch never stays outside overnight. So it really depends on your cats.

  In short, if you are not sure, lock them in at night.

  My neighbours used to lock their cat out if they were not sure what to do as they didn't have acat flap, the amount of time that poor cat was waiting to go inside... for the record, it was the bully cat from upstair and I really didn't like him, but that doesn't mean I was less annoyed by his humans locking him out all day / all night.

  How do you know who I was referring to? 🤣

  Anyhow, cheers!

  Stealing is bad as it is, stealing from outside of a hospital when the chances are these bikes are used by those who might save your life is 1000 times worse...

  Any got a spare front wheel for a key worker? Noting to do with me but he’d just posted in our mutual aid group (Lambeth) saying his got stolen outside of the hospital.

  Let me now and I’ll hock you up.

  Also, isn’t there is a thread dedicated for bikes / bikes parts for key workers?
