Hi Everyone,


I'm sorry to be the person posting bad news for someone but there is a dead cat near the top of Barry Road. It's in between two parked cars almost opposite the first bus stop. It's black and white, looks as if it was well cared for, shiney coat and all that. I have reported it to the council as I was at a loss as to what else to do, it's not a cat I recognise, I hope I did the right thing.


Kind Regards

Emma

Hubby just investigated - it is a small black and white cat - I imagine being hit by a car and someone has put it to the side of the road.

Whilst I am releaved that it is not our Gerry ( who is large and micro chipped) this will be someone's pet and they will be very upset. Many thanks for putting this on the forum.

No problem, I was a bit worried it was my neighbour's cat initially but he's playing in the garden. It's strange as I don't often see cats out the front, it's made me re-think whether I will let ours out when they're old enough.

It's very sad, I feel for the owners.

It's always best to let them out back.


Terrible news. I'm so sorry for whoever the kittie belonged to. :(


Keep cats away from busy roads, or any roads. I'm seeing an awful lot of them lately, including kittens who obviously have owners.

Long time since I've had a cat, but if you're going to let them out at all, how can you keep them away from roads?


Surely they will just roam wherever they want to?

No. Not always.


If you get your young cat used to going outside from a back door, that leads into the garden, they are very much less likely to want to use the front & therefore will roam back gardens & not busy streets.


This isn't always the case - but it can definetly be prevented & worth a shot, if you care enough.

Thank you for the messages, she was our cat and we are very sad she died. Like many, and according to Callie's somewhat strangely timed advice, I let her out in the back garden and didn't know she could even get to the front as she's never been a particularly adventurous cat but, obviously being a cat, she did exactly as she pleased.


Thank you for all your kind words.

      Christmas Cheese!

      Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!

      I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.

      William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
