Not a car roof, but tonight I passed a man eating a takeaway in his car in a quiet residential street. What he didn't appear to see was the fox a few feet away on the opposite side of the road, lying in the shadow of a parked car, staring intently at his half-open window... I stood watching for a few minutes but it didn't move until some more people came down the street talking loudly. Think the guy had a close call there.
It's a FOX, Sue. Maitre Corbeau, sur un arbre perch?, tenait dans son bec un fromage. Maitre Renard, par l'odeur allech?, lui teint ? peu pr?s ce langage. You can guess the rest. Half a chance and it would have been in through the car window and out again with a string of sausages between its jaws.

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
