From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s. Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two. In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats. There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post. Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded. One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it. -

I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification? -
Hello, I lost a babies blanket between Tessa Jowell and the Picture House on Lordship Lane 😞It is teal colour with the name Cillian embroidered on it. If anyone sees/finds it please let me know. Thank you! -
Good to hear Sue - I love Franklin’s Although to be fair it would be a mad world where decades old local institution couldn’t do much better than (gawd help us all) a generic Youngs pub (I had better meals in that place when it was the vale and ran by the Murphia. And that was fairly poor food even then )
