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,


Rendel x

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.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By Bumpkin · Posted

      My son’s primary school hatched duck eggs, probably under this scheme around 12 years ago.  We were all very upset to hear that 2 of the (5 year old) boys had knocked the incubator over & all eggs smashed.   feeling a lot less sad about that now!
