WARNING!!!

I have just been notified about a post at on Nextdoor at the weekend by a lady, who was out walking around 6pm on Northchurch Road in De Beauvoir, N1. She noticed two white men with a large, unmuzzled brown dog, taking photos of a ginger cat from behind a van. They had the dog's muzzle in their hand. They then went and grabbed the cat. The lady stepped in and, pretending the cat was hers, asked what they were doing with her cat and they handed him over.

This is very worrying and suggestive that these men had bad intentions towards the cat. My friend, who forwarded the post to me, lives in the area and is trying to get more information. I will also contact Hackney's dog warden who knows a number of the dogs in the borough. Please forward this post to dog walkers you know in this part of Hackney and the surrounding area and ask if they know who these men and the dog might be.
I know it`s not in the immediate area but near enough for them to travel here!!

We passed a dramatic fire on the opposite carriageway of the M25 on Boxing Day! We were headed out East towards Waltham Abbey/Cross and the fiercly burning car seemed to be on the hard shoulder (going towards Potters Bar & St Albans) cars whizzing by it at that point. Emergency services could be seen approaching after a short distance but hadn`t got there when we passed.
BUT I cannot find any information about what happened. All reports seem to be for other incidents( 18th Dec,28th Nov, even yesterday 27th) NOT the one we saw on 26th.
Anyone found/know any information?

Hi all! I'm able to work remotely 2 days per week but it's quite hard with a 2 y o baby and nanny at home, so I need to find a place where I can stay for 6 about hours, have wifi and a bit of privacy as I have to make some calls.
Do you know any place like this nearby? Maybe some caffee, library or shared office spaces?

I'm considering getting a personalised book about Xmas for my daughters as a Xmas present and wonder if anyone can recommend a company to do it? There's a lot of them on google but would welcome a personal recommendations.

Doesn`t matter if it`s a bit grubby.It`s to protect my lawn during a party. Nice large one such as you might have in a through room would be best. Will be disposed of properly afterwards not dumped-promise.

Dumped Bike

Small(6-7-8 years old ish) boys blue & white bike,looks fairly new! Working order, although handlebars are loose. It is yours/your son`s? Has it been stolen and dumped by my house? I`ve taken it into my garden and if no one contacts me I`ll inform Police(might do that anyway) and if they are not interested (as they so often aren`t these days!!) I will freecycle it. I have a photo. If you can give me some positive ID to prove it`s yours I`ll happily let you collect. Was dumped sometime Wednesday but moved over the road during the evening/night-no idea who or why(?) PM me.

Remember the cat-killer? Well now it`s dogs and rat-bait. I`m sure I`ve seen an incident on a local media site before but cannot remember which one? The bait is put into meat or even the dog`s toys and it can happen in public places too. This is the incident I`ve seen most recently,copied from FB`s `Barnet Lost and Found`page....
"Hi all, this is an upsetting post to type, I have a devastated friend/owner and me myself am devastated to find out that one of her dogs has died due to rat poison. It's going all around the area and has already killed 4 dogs in Finchley and other surrounding areas. Unfortunately, this rat poison is being planted in parks, especially in tennis balls and up trees (places dogs are most likely to have a sniff). Please, everyone, be aware if you're taking your dog out that you are supervising them, and to bring your own toys, don't let them pick up any random ball. Please tell all family and friends who have pets to be cautious.
Sending all my love to Cleo's owners, you had such an amazing dog, I'm so sad to see her go. RIP Cleo, such a beautiful dog."
This is NOT MY FRIEND but the friend of the original poster. It could happen to your pet! It could be someone`s service dog next-leaving the person stranded as well as heartbroken!! PLEASE SHARE WIDELY and if you have a dog don`t leave them alone,not even in your garden,not even in the park-have your eyes on them the whole time.

Does anyone know of an Electrician who would be available to source and fit a strip light to go under a kitchen unit? The one previously installed is too big to go back since our boiler was updated.
We are also looking to upgrade our fuse box.
We live in New Barnet.

Where is there a Bakers now? Do we have one in the Barnet area at all? I`m hoping someone knows of a hidden gem somewhere.

Does anybody have any off cut of carpet or any flooring? I have an area of 1mx2m that I need to cover that dogs and kids trash as it’s the hallway! Please let me know 😊

Hi, do you by any chance know a taxi firm that's not charging extra for Xmas day? TIA

Morning everyone, can you please advise me where to get insurance for a 5 year old dog?

We are with Affinity Water and we have experienced low water pressure for some time. There isn't anything that I can find on there website so am wondering if this is a common problem in Cockfosters area.

Hi everyone, we just moved to East Barnet last week and still trying to work out where things are. I have my family coming down this Sunday and I am lil stressed out to find a good restaurant/pub that doing brunch. Do you have any suggestion for a suitable place with a family of 10 with children and a dog?
If it is impossible to find a place that could accommodate the dog, we will let her stay at home then. Thank you so so much in advance!

(From Face Book) Dog lost a week ago on Hadley Wood Common. Was wearing a chain and microchipped. Owner frantic as dog needs medication. His best friend.

Call James on 07521259480 if seen. Reward offered.

Many Thanks

My son is making a clock for design and technology at school. He requires miniature figures for his clock. Does anyone have standing station passengers miniature figures, oo/1.87 scale, 87-100 mm, please, which they don't want any more. Bachmann is well known for making small figures.

If anyone in Potters Road, New Barnet, has an outside security camera fitted, would they please be kind enough to check their footage for around midnight last night. A young man was hurt and robbed after using the cash machine near Boydens. Two young men attacked him close to Hexham Road. Even if you are not close to Hexham Road, you may have footage of them running or driving off. If anyone heard or saw anything, please contact me via this site.

Thank you

Hello, I haven't been out much in the last few years so I've got a bit out of touch with pubs these days! I would love some recommendations for a nice cosy pub where a friend and I can have a catch up on a Saturday night without having to shout. Must be near public transport. Many thanks
