Totally agree. They are not hurting anybody, just trying to survive.


Somebody on another thread is complaining about the noise foxes make.


I've been listening to it for years, in the middle of the night/early hours.

But I still put any leftover food out for them, because they too are trying to survive.


Leave them all alone & learn to live alongside them.


They have just as much right to be here as we do.

For anyone saying" leave wild animals alone" and then mentionning that they leave food scraps out for them!! I watch a fox marking his territory in our garden- any new kids toy- may it be the sand pit or the play house is constantly sprayed!! How would you like your child playing in that!!

If I see any neighbour leaving scaps out I will throw any poos or other mess they leave over the fence- YES, including the dead guinea Pig that was left once by our back door!!

As you said so nicely- LEAVE THEM ALONE- DONT FEED THEM and if they dodnt find enough food they will regulate numbers naturally

Damn and there was I thinking that humans were the most destructive and pollutant of all species.....


Never seen a fox destroy the rain forests, or mull over which toothpaste to buy from the hundreds of brands on offer. Hmm never saw a fox buy a happy meal for it's cub with the useless plastic crap that keeps it's offspring devoid from parental input for the time it plays with it......


In fact silkematt...look around your home and ask yourself...just how much crap do foxes really do to the environment? Your house like mine and everyone else is full of crap no doubt........


Just because you dump in a toilet directly into a sewer doesn't give you more rights than a fox. Your affluent still ends up somewhere...ask the dolphins that swim through it daily.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
