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.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
