Re: "White Tiger" kittens
Bengals are attractive, but they tend to have leopard rather than tiger markings. At one time we wondered about getting a Savannah, but the attractive ones are the F1 hybrids and are classed as dangerous animals. What such a beast would make of the bull terriers which abound in Sydenham is an intere...

Re: "White Tiger" kittens
Hill Dweller: We tried the vets. It appears that unless the kittens had an appointment with a vet, rather than a nurse or 'just passing through', there would be no record of them, and there was no record. BBW: We have checked out Toygers, most particularly the four UK breeders who are trying to achi...

"White Tiger" kittens
On 11th December last year I was at the Mayow Road Vet's to collect Percy the cat. Whist I was in the waiting room there was also present a gentleman with a carrying cage containing two kittens with unusual mackerel tabby markings such that they looked like small white tigers. I thought that they we...

Re: Planning application for Money Shop at 59 Sydenham Road
Tim beat me to it! I had logged in to the forum to report the receipt of the council 'refusal' letter. The Money Shop was nothing that I looked forward to.

Re: Have aliens ever landed in Baxter Fields?
I was chatting to an alien the other day and he assured me that they had never landed anywhere near Baxter Fields. I think some more mundane explanation is needed.

Re: Street drinkers and heroin users
:wink: And Chris - go stand in the corner for the irregular use of the letter Z! For many years I struggled to maintain traditional English usage; I never split infinitives, was conscientious in the application of the apostrophe, and avoided Americanisms. It was a struggle. Then my wife and a daugh...

Re: Sydenham Town's Brand New Site!
I hate all change, but apart from that it looks good ;-) One small low-priority niggle. Previously if I selected a topic from the RSS feed it would subsequently appear with a changed blue icon. I used this as a bookmark to see what new posts had appeared. No icon change from the new site. I am using...

The sleek and attractive rat I once saw in our compost bin has now been transformed into a group of nasty, thuggish (though presumably still vegetarian) rats living beneath it. I have declared war, dusted off the old air rifle, and spent the evening waiting by the ... er ... rat run near the bin. No...
We have a rat which appears to live under our compost bin at the end of the garden. It appears fairly young, with a sleek light brown coat and is actually quite an attractive looking creature. Also obviously a vegetarian. I used to enjoy ratting with a .22 rifle when I lived on a farm many years ago...
