> Call me stoned but I was thinking Magic Roundabout


"Those of us at a certain age know that the Magic Roundabout was an Early Learning introduction to drug culture: 'It's a marvellous feeling,' Mr Rusty told Dougal about a 'trip' on his roundabout. A staple part of common room conversation was to identify the illegal substance that each character represented. Many years and several flashbacks later, I now find it difficult to recall what they were ... ah, let me see. Florence was a more butch version of our Alice, an innocent abroad; Dylan, the hippy bunny, was hashish; Brian was amphetamines. But what substance was produced from those flowers Ermitrude kept chewing, that once made her triple her size and fly away? And Dougal? At the time I thought his supply of sugar cubes had something to do with LSD but now I'm not so sure."

    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
    • Hello, I lost a babies blanket between Tessa Jowell and the Picture House on Lordship Lane 😞It is teal colour with the name Cillian embroidered on it.  If anyone sees/finds it please let me know.  Thank you!
