Gardening thieves

I’m not sure I want to alarm people, or maybe even make false accusations, but I think I disturbed two guys who looked like they were about to dig up the faience rope edging from our front garden. The men were in and out the front garden, checking the border edging and returned from an unmarked white van with a spade. When challenged they said was I not getting work done by McQuorquadales and then said is this not Regent Park Sq? It being Queen Square, I said no, they needed the next street and they said oh we must’ve got the wrong address.
Regards,

Ben
Queen Square

[Bungo blog: As an addition, another resident saw a guy jump over a wall on the back lane of Queens Sq and run off with chain saw or hedge trimmers, so please be alert.]

Lost cat

Last seen on Thursday night, a ginger and white cat. Please check garages and garden sheds for this well-loved pet. Contact Mairi on 423 6885 if you see him.

New Bungo Bags – order yours now!

Bungo bags have proved so popular that the society has had to restock.

We’ve just ordered a fresh batch which will be here in time for Bungo In The Back Lanes. The simple design is the same but this time they’re in slimming (and practical) black. Once again they feature long handles so they can be carried over your shoulder and have plenty of room for all your local shopping. Better still they fold up neat and tidy and can be carried with you wherever you go.

Click here to order. Bags can be purchased for £4 each, or buy three for £10.
