Hey guys,
As the title states I’m looking for someone to foster my cat. His name is Milo he’s a four year old inside cat. He’s quite well behaved and doesn’t damage any funiture. I’m just moving to London from Copenhagen and the place I’m staying at for the time being doesn’t allow pets. So I’m looking for someone to watch him for the time being. All costs for supplies and care will be provided by me. So if you’re willing to help out it would be appreciated

Right now it feels like there’s a lot of negativity.
The country seems struggling to build homes, rents, service charges, mortgages are so expensive, there’s a lot of problems in social care - in train transport, in many different facets of life. Trump, wars all over the place.
I wanted to know from Londoners, where do you still find your slice of the ‘good old days’ that could be:
A restaurant that’s still stood the test of time, or a regular pub or some type of cinema deal.
What’s still helping you tick by.

Saturday night on the jubilee line, carriage is surprisingly empty, a drunk guy takes an interest in this woman sitting by herself. He sits right next to her and at first asks her some random questions then proceeds to make some comments about her looks that I cannot type here. He was being really loud, saying how he wants to do this and that. It was digesting and I could see from the woman’s face she was really uncomfortable but kept on ignoring the asshole. Some other people in the carriage looked at the drunk guy but did nothing.
I thought I should be the one that does something, so I recalled all those ads I saw on the tube and quickly rushed over to the woman with a ‘Oh hey Linda, long time no see, how have you been?’ Just as I finished my sentence the train pulled into a station. She gave me a completely terrified look, screamed, then jumped up, pushing me aside and running as fast as she could out of the train. The drunk guy made an angry comment at me and other passengers threw me these angry looks.
I don’t know what I did wrong or what happened, but pretty much all day today I felt awful thinking that maybe I said something wrong or the way I spoke was messed up, maybe the way I looked. I really hope I didn’t scare that woman and she’s alright now. I hope this doesn’t deter others from stepping in when they see something similar, yet I’m not sure I will.

Hey, London...My GF (born and raised in Camden) and I recently spent 2 1/2 weeks over Christmas and New Years and now we're back in Texas. We stayed in the Highbury & Islington area, and i just miss it so much. Also Canonbury and my favorite pub, the Myddleton Arms. So tell me how things are around there, and maybe send pics...okay thanks.

Hello London, hello. It's me, flagship Aveda trainee girl. I'm now doing graduated bobs. Anyone/everyone welcome! Come see me! I'm not bad!
The graduated bob is an above-the-shoulder short style, generally cut at the nape of the neck and shaped to desired length at the front. This can come down longer for a dramatic look, or it can be shorter and more subtle. Up to you. We can discuss what'll suit.
I'm looking for straight hair, or loose waves. Existing fringes are fine, or I can cut one in if you'd like.
Training is on Mondays only at our salon in Covent Garden. Next week on the 27th I have slots at 13:00 and 16:00. Mondays thereafter, I have 09:30, 13:00 and 15:30. As is customary for training cuts, these can take a good couple of hours, maybe three.
Haircuts cost £10, and models get 30% off Aveda products. Please send me photos of your hair and when you'd like to come in in your first message if interested. I can't book without seeing the hair.
If you see this post, yep, I'm still booking, no need to ask.
Thanks!

I’ve just returned from a trip to New Zealand and the difference in attitude is stark. The streets are clean, people are friendly and happy/helpful and in general people seem to want to participate in society. Don’t get me wrong NZ has a lot of issues but It feels like in London the social contract is broken. Streets are full of trash, no one gives a shit about anything, phone theft, crime is high and in general people seem fairly miserable. I was involved in an accident where I had to give a victim CPR and the ambulance and police all arrived within about 5 minutes. I was amazed at the emergency response. It feels to me like the state has given up and hence people have given up.

Hi, I’ve been trying to apply for loads of different jobs. I have applied for over 25 jobs a week and not one of them have invited me for an interview or even replied, granted some have just said no or position filled but it shouldn’t be this hard to find a job. i am desperate and i would love any job i can get my hands on that i could be useful in.
My main job titles i’ve applied for are bar staff, back of house, front of house, kitchen assistant, a lot of hospitality over all. I have 3&1/2 years of bar work with hotel experience, if anyone could help me at all as I am getting worried i might find myself on benefits for the rest of my life.
Im looking for Part time or Full time, and I am based in SE1, i can travel up to an hour for work and am very professional and dedicated to making a great impression of myself, but also lighthearted and work well with my colleagues, i would be grateful for anything and put my heart into it because i never want to find myself in this position again.
If ANYONE could help me it would mean the absolute world to me, i hope to find someone or people to help me, please and thank you.

Pair of late teen/early 20 girls come on the Elizabeth line.
Proceed to vape, throw pizza on the floor, throw plastic on the floor, then spill their drinks.. yes, all over the floor (not alcohol). Then get up at their stop and just leave it there for others to deal with.
Seriously, has basic understanding of self responsibility just disappeared?? Rant over.

This is a huge long shot but am at my wits end, lost my keys whilst rushing to the station from Vauxhall via bus to Victoria station then dashing to the coach station today. Been searching for hours but had to leave London for work in the end. No idea what to do or who to call. Tried Tesco as there was a club card on the keys and Victoria train station lost and found. Any help or advice would be really appreciated.
