You know the same goes for 'unpopular', right?


Poor Jeremy. Was it the sight of all those fresh-faced youngsters with their whole lives ahead of them, singing away, arm in arm. It is disheartening, I know. But at least you can feel secure in the knowledge that popular is not the the same as good. The fools!

Oh yeah, plenty of bad 'unpopular' music too. I just fail to understand what people see in Coldplay.


In particular, I don't know why these "fresh-faced youngsters with their whole lives ahead of them" would be interested in such an insipid dirge.


Perhaps the dead Tory guy had been subjected to both the U2 and Coldplay sets, and lost all will to carry on.

Zane Lowe - he's been around for years on the VH1/MTV2 channels and more recently at BBC


The sort of guy who would sneer at you if you asked for the wrong album in a Manchester record shop, it's fair to say


Speaking of U2, whatever your view it was great to see Larry being so brutally honest in that interview. I've always liked him. He didn't go so far as to say "meh" but that was the vibe

It was weird to see 'roving reports' from such areas as the Stone Circle and green fields - and only ever seeing about six people sitting there.


But I'm prepared to admit that the long term future of the festival won't be secured by ageing hippies beating pieces of bronze whilst people who've forgotten where their tent is look-on, waiting for the acid to wear off.

    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.    
    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
