Rat on Goose Green Monday 21 May 9am

[janepinkcat]

Just to let people know there was a large rat on Goose Green yesterday morning - apologies for late post, it shot out of the long grass along the East Dulwich Road side. I've written to new councillor McAsh hoping for some action

[singalto]

Rats are everywhere and I am not sure that a rat in the great outdoors is a problem. Better there than in your house!

[ed_pete]

I do wonder if there are more about. We've had one in the garden this year for the first time ever, to our knowledge at least. And I found one in the fro.t garden compost bin yesterday. Never had one in there before. And no, we don't put cooked food in it, just plant and veg waste.

[Louisa]

I?d rather have rats than people spitting everywhere, or leaving chewing gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe. The amount of take away food thrown on the streets when bins visible also makes me angry. If you don?t like rats, don?t chuck your crap on the floor.

Louisa.

It was probably picking up bits of food left from the recent fair and people having picnics. If people picked up after themselves there wouldn't be such easy pickings for rats and foxes.

You're never that far from a rat in London. Years ago we used to take the foreign students in Halls to Lincolns Inn Fields and watch masses of them in the evenings. This was before the lawyers got together to overhaul the gardens.

really chuffed at the thought that new councillor McAsh's top priority for action would be catching rats on Goose Green.

any other helpful suggestions to improve our local area? maybe councillor McAsh could also pick up after any local dogs with negligent owners in his spare time?

[robbin]

Or maybe the Councillor could go round to Louisa's flat, with a view to removing the chewing gum that someone has apparently stuck on the bottom of her shoe?

Working near Lincolns Inn Fields it's a lovely walk (or run).

Good to hear the rats obeyed the injunction.

Did the rats leave in disgust at the presence of so many lawyers?

I'm deeply hurt!!!

Sadly, I think it was more of a death sentence than voluntary exit.

Or maybe they could pop round to yours and supply you with a tutor to sort out your constant post editing (evidently caused by not being able to spell properly).

Just joshing, I have three of them in the family (lawyers not rats).

I know you are, we seem to have more priests than lawyers in mine!

Nice try (again) with the fake comments, Louisa - the Trump administration would be proud of you. You replied to my posting timed at 12.12 today and as you can see - that post has not been edited! Embarrassing?

Yes, you are embarrassing. You are constantly editing posts and then making out that it was for ?other reasons?. Very tiresome robbin. But I?m not the spelling police, so unlike you I won?t continue to raise it all the time.

Happy editing!

Louisa.

ah, but you see, it wasn't LL - this particular rodent was quietly going about its business on GG

[janepinkcat]

The point of my post was to try and warn parents and dog owners, I'm confounded by the crap that's been written in response

[adonirum]

It's my pet coypu done a runner again.

This your first time on t'internet?

[Ann]

To the OP I do walk a dog regularly on Goose Green and came across a large dead rat the other day ( near to the gate near the bus stop),it was not a pleasant experience and I certainly hope no children have had the same.

[civilservant]

to the OP, i occasionally walk a child and a dog on goose green and i would want to warn any rats that might find themselves in the vicinity of either

[Bic Basher]

I've seen the rats in the park next to Sainsbury's.

[civilservant]

to be clear - if you had posted about the risk to children and dogs from bad driving in ED, or the pollution from school-run drivers in ED, or the broken glass on pavements near the multitude of pubs and restaurants in ED, or the easy availability of junk food (to children) or chicken bones and other litter (to dogs) in ED, i would have been delighted to join forces with you in bothering new councillor mcash

complaining to the councillor about a rat on goose green - come on!
