Rest in peace handsome George...

People here may wish to know...


George was involved in an accident of some sort between last night and this morning and sadly didn't make it.


A big thank you to the manager at the Brickhouse Cafe for getting him to a vet who contacted us today with the news.


We got George when he was around two years old from the Celia Hammond rescue home.


He was a stray, and ever since we've had him he's been prone to wandering long distances and getting lost.


His first two years with us saw regular posts to the East Dulwich Forums; us looking for him, people reporting him found.


With all his wandering, and living so close to Lordship Lane, it was inevitable something would happen one day.


Keeping him indoors permanently was never an option, he'd quickly go stir-crazy and dart out through any available exit.


A big thank you to...


- All of you on here that have helped find him over the last few years - we've appreciated the help!


- The staff and customers of the EDT and Actress who put up with his regular visits for strokes and scraps.


- All the local Dulwich residents with their open door / window policy and cat snacks.


- The friendly commuters who greeted him each morning on their way to work as they passed our house.


- And of course to George himself, who brought a smile to so many people's faces every day.


We'll miss you George, you handsome devil you, keep smiling.


Love Bella, Clara, Kati and Rob.

So very sorry to hear this, used to see him around and about, dashed handsome devil he was.


One of our pet rabbits died recently and I thought people would be a bit cynical about us being upset, then my father said to us "What the hell is the point in having a pet if you don't become emotionally engaged with it?"


Bless you for giving him such a grand life.


Take care,

So sorry to hear this - we really loved George and we always looked forward to his visits. He'd pop in through open doors and windows and stay for an hour or two for some cuddles and to chase an old bit of string before heading off on his travels again. He was an absolutely wonderful chap, such a lovely friendly personality and we often thought how lucky you were to have someone like him. Poor little thing. We will miss him.

George was a very special handsome chap and was even part of our cats gang despite the odd hiss. We will all miss him lots. I did pop round Rob/Katie to say how sorry I was and was only on the forum as Squiggly wasn't around this morning so getting worried! Maria,Helen, Charlie and Squiggly.

    • That is clearly not true. I see car drivers breaking the law on an hourly basis - jumping red lights, speeding, not obeying the general rules. Plus they are operating considerably more dangerous machinery and should have a greater responsibility of care to other road uses. You can see who causes the most harm by the stats. 
    • Looking for a suit for an 11 year old. Quite specific, white with black thin stripes.  Trying to replicate Michael Jacksons smooth criminal costume.  A blue linen shirt and white tie.    Thank you !!!!!!!
    • A quick Google found this, amongst other things: "Social impact models are frameworks or approaches that guide how organizations or initiatives address social or environmental problems."
    • "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck" comes to mind Unfortunately, a large number of cyclists do exhibit selfish amd anti social behaviour which, regardless of how many good cyclists there are, is seen as the norm.  It's a bit like one car driver jumping a red light and all car drivers getting tarred by the same brush. Perception is the issue and if cyclists all obeyed the rules, everyone would be less anti them but unfortunately that isn't the case 🤔
