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.

    • I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.  
    • There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels 
    • There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
