Someone has let their dog poo just outside East Dulwich station near the entrance to the London Bridge platform. Lots of poeple have clearly walked in it and it's pretty spread over the pavement. I've reported it on the email link on Southwark Street cleaning website but does anyone know if this actually prompts any action?

Unfortunately all too common around here. Not sure about further up lordship lane, but in the Townley/woodwarde/beauval/calton quadrangle, the amount of dog mess makes it feel like an obstacle course sometimes. I've confronted a dog owner on one occasion, and got the usual, 'I dont have any bags on me' response. I find the attitude of some of these dog owners absolutely baffling and infuriating.

Cats cr@p in my garden, thank you for asking, and yes we do complain, as well as throw water and spray the garden as for deterring foxes. In the hot weather last week my garden was unusable due to the smell of hot cat poo.


Also plagued by fox poo as well as the occasional dog. None of my neighbours seems to do anything about it so I usually clear it up before any of their little darlings get a chance to walk it all over the place.


Walking and jogging in the park is a similar problem, particularly the sand track in Dulwich Park which blends in with it.

its about what dogs are fed - dogs fed on good quality dry food don't produce that kind of disgusting mess.

people who are inconsiderate enough to leave it lying there aren't going to be considerate to their dogs either.

i've also been told that fox poo is disgusting for the same reason, because foxes generally scavenge

Cats crap in the gardens of people who do not have cats- like me and RPC (?). This is because cats are pets for lazy people who train them NOT to crap in their own garden There are lots of cat owners in ED judging from the Lost and Found and that thread on the cat killers so most people would not post about cat poo since they are guilty of the production of tonnes of it (not to mention the death of 250 million songbirds a year and toads etc). Anthropomorphism will be the death of us all.....

    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood. 
    • Line speed and the strength of your Wi-Fi signal are two separate things.  The first is determined by the type of connection (fibre/copper etc) to the outside world and the second is the connection between the device (printer/TV/laptop/tablet etc) and the router. If you are connecting a device to the router using cables (as Alec1 is) then this is will give the best possible connection but isn't practical for many without a degree of upheaval and even then not all devices (tablets for example) will allow a wired connection. So you relying on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the device and this will depend on the quality of the router, the type of Wi-Fi connection (the frequency), line of sight etc - many different things.  This is why some people opt for a "mesh" type setup which is supposed to give a solid quality of Wi-Fi signal around the house with little or no blackspots.  It's expensive though and still requires the devices that send and receive the signal (like the plug-ins you have) to be wired to the router.
    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.
