I lost my purse on Friday evening at the half moon at Herne Hill. I didnt really expect to see it again but some kind wonderful person handed it in to the bar. All my cards were still there and the money untouched. Most importantly a precious note written by my little girl was in the purse. The person who found it didn't leave their name so I have no way of thanking them personally so fingers crossed they are on the Forum.


Thanks

When there are so many scary stories on this forum about burglaries/muggings etc it is great to know there are still many honest people out there!

Most people are honest.

The scewed impression that honest folk are a minority is probably a function of the negative headlines / threads about robbings etc.

Most of the people you pass on the street don't mug you, but they're not lauded for it, so the baddies get all the attention.

Steveo - Probably because of the mess it would cause and the hassles of having to explain to passers by and police etc, if we could just switch people off who p!ssed us off on the way to work and they just vanished leaving no mess or body to trip over, there'd be loads more murders.

Yes huggers you are right it was a pull the other one event! Yet another reason why I love pull the other one !


Kidkruger I agree the majority of people out there are good and honest and being an optimistic sort of person I was so happy to be able to post something positive !

The headline of the OP caufht my eye, I knew they were talking about me and then, reading through I realised it was someone else. The purse I 'found' at the weekend has translated into a month's 'free' shopping at Waitrose! Blessy you, granny, I know you left it there just for me.


Ps: if you want your teeth back, please PM me your address.

Perhaps I should change my op to "still some kind/honest/funny people out there :)

    • 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.
