Calling all dog owners using Peckham Rye park to walk their dogs.


The darling little dog that I walk for my friend was subjected to an unprovoked attack today in the Park.


The dog responsible was a blue staffordshire called Blue and his owner has another staffordshire - either brindle or brown - I don't remember.


The dog owner was lax in responding to the situation where Blue had picked up my friend's dog in his mouth and was about to shake him. The brown/brindle dog was joining in the "game" but did not attack my friend's dog.


I rushed him straight over to the Neighbourhood Vet Centre and he was treated immediately. Turns out he has (at least) a punctured lung and broken ribs, he's in immense pain and in shock and he may need surgery to repair his diaphragm.


I didn't hang around to say anything to Blue's owner, as I just wanted to get my friend's dog, Morph, seen immediately.


However, when at the vet, the vet herself said her dog was nearly attacked by this very same dog, BLUE, only yesterday.


Please be very, very alert and keep your dogs with you on a lead if you see these dogs out in the park whilst you're there. The dog is not vicious per se, but clearly the owner was either unconcerned or has no idea how to control his dogs.


This happened completely unexpectedly - we were just playing with the ball and our dog. My 6 year old son witnessed this attack and Morph is his best friend - so you can imagine how distressed he was by the whole incident.


Morph is now spending the night in emergency care :( PLEASE DON'T LET YOUR DOG BE A VICTIM OF BLUE TOO.

Bonniebird- I think morph will be ok. The next couple hours or so will tell :( he is such a little poppet.


The dogs owner is a black guy - possibly late 20's /early 30's.The dog, Blue, had a broad pink collar her, I think.


It was terrifying - he weighs under 3 kg and he didn't stand a chance of defending himself. It happened on the Corner coming out on to the large patch of grass opposite the boys school.

I'm devastated to say that darling little Morph just died of his injuries sustained by the attack he received today from Blue, the blue Staffordshire terrier.


PLEASE keep vigilant for this now killer dog and keep your dogs out of harms way. Don't let your dog be the next needless victim.

Oh I am so sorry to read that....just posted on the other thread wishing Morph well.....


Please let Mark Newell the park warden know. I've put his contact email on the other thread but will pm you his number. It can not be that a dog is allowed to put other people's dogs in danger like this. Someone needs to have a chat with the owner of this other dog and asap.

oh gosh I am so sorry to hear this = I must have missed this by 10 minutes leaving with my own dog at the gate oppo the boys school. It is so frustrating that some dog owners are so irresponsible with the vast majority kind and considerate. It seems positively daft that the police will not get involved unless people are the victims. I cannot imagine how your poor child is feeling.


Will keep eyes peeled and yes, maybe Mark the warden could be alerted to this kind of thing

I am so sick and helpless in the face of these dickheads who own bull breeds and can't handle them. What is to be done? I'm so sorry to hear about this. I have a scar on my left calf when a bull breed bit me when I was out running in Burgess Park. The owners were a middle aged couple, do not the usual goon that own this type of dog. Pisses me off.

      Advice please - sold item to a business who's now contesting the sale

      By Angelina · Posted

      what is the status of your company? is it formally closed, yet the bank account is open? How are you planning on extracting the funds from the company account?  Do you have your emails from a personal email account? Is there any indication that it is a business sale, other than a business bank account - did you tell them it was a business bank account - does the bank account you gave them have a different name?

      Advice please - sold item to a business who's now contesting the sale

      By Naiada · Posted

      Can anyone help / offer advice, please? I just sold a fairly rare and quite valuable vintage knitting machine and accessories to a business as a private sale to a business. It's run a couple who specialise in repairing and reselling secondhand knitting machine parts. I tested the machine and accessory prior to selling and both were working. The business has just texted me with a fairly aggressive message to say 'it can't be working as part of it is missing' and that the pattern reading accessory does not work. I know that both parts were working when I handed them over, so it is just their word against mine. (I haven't replied to ask what part is missing yet) When they arrived to pick up, the owner said he needed to do 'due diligence' ie to open the case of the machine and check it was all there. He did all that and did not mention anything was missing at that point. They paid by bank transfer on pickup. Unfortunately for me, I got them to pay into my business ac (even though I no longer run a business and am retired, I still have the account) and now they say because they paid to a business ac they can dispute the payment. I did get them to sign a delivery note with a list of items that they were buying  but I did not specify 'bought as seen' on the note. How does it work when it's one person's word against another? I originally found the business online and emailed them with the details and photos. They had good reviews for selling items (but no reviews re: buying items) The owner always replied by phone rather than email so although I have notes of our conversations I do not have anything in writing from him. I'm feeling angry at having trusted them and also upset - textile design was my career before I retired and I wish I'd just given the machine to a charity now1 Any helpful advice much appreciated!

      Lads ‘selling cleaning kit on doors’

      By Sue · Posted

      There are several threads on here about door to door sellers with similar false stories, but I don't know what the thread headings were or how to find them. Someone else may have a better memory! No idea who to contact, possibly the police non urgent number, can't remember what it is, sorry.

      Annoying words that have cropped up in our language

      My objection is that it is an Americanism. Spoken id prefer Mon to Thurs. In writing Mon - Thurs.
