This beggar is still outside the bank in Surbiton , see link below, but I am more concerned for his dog, greyhound type. It can hardly walk, no lead, head down, tail between legs, trying to lick, has no water. Can nothing be done?

I'm new to the area, and I know it's a long way off but is there anywhere local that will do a decent free-range turkey (i.e. a farmer's market)? The supermarket ones are never big enough - I need to feed 14!

I cycled down some of this today towards Kingston and the new bike lane abruptly ended and then you are forced onto the main road - but without the old cycle lane in existence anymore. The point at which the cycle path ends suddenly becomes really dodgy and it feels really dangerous. The road narrows and there is absolutely no margin for safety. On top of this all the road markings are ambiguous and half faded away. At least in the old days there was actually a cycle lane!

I came across this Facebook group the other day. It's really fun! I think you'll all like it :D

Why are there no shop floor staff in Wilko and hardly any in Marks and Spencer? Sometimes I need help!

There are many that are aware of Christopher turner, he has a property in Surbiton. Yet even though he is known to many he still manages to beg in Kingston taking money away from those who are genuinely homeless. This man is known to the police but yet they still let this continue why? He is then rude and abusive when confronted surely something can be done

Has anyone ever tried returning an item to this shop for refund or exchange? Wish I had never bought it there in the first place. I should have read their reviews first! Avoid it if you want good service... Back to John Lewis...

I don't normally do this, but enough is enough. The short version is this .... according to my reliable source, if you are a virgin media broadband subscriber anywhere around Kingston University main campus (Penhryn [sic?]), and you have been subject to the area-wide issues that have been ongoing since before January 2015 (ie: if you've had a crappy internet connection, either consistently low bandwidth or an intermittent service) then you may just be (/have been) entitled to £10 per month deducted from your bill due to a service not quite matching what you believe you are paying for.

Has anyone else seen the man filming with a camera and tripod, on the bend in Lovelace Gardens and then speaking in a foreign language on his phone? He seems to be there most days and has been there for a good two or three months, what on earth is he doing?
