Picks up note and reads aloud. Takes pack of Smythson notelets and gold Cross fountain pen from enormous status handbag and writes:


Darling red devil,


How very kind! I can think of nothing that would give me more pleasure. However, sadly I shall be in Wales, retrieving my poppets from the my monster-in-law's lair. I shall send the housekeeper along instead. She has been stealing my gin for years, you are bound to make stacks of cash from her. I shall visit very soon though!


Best,


DM x

*'BANG!'...accidentally steps onto lonely looking party balloon.

Puts binbag full of empties out for the dustmen, and leaves note out for cleaners to clean up vomit stained Cath Kidson 'easy clean fabric' covered Chaise Longue.

Spies what looks like an item of ladies undergarment, hanging from the stags head over the fireplace...'Victoria's Secret', takes a closer look at what appears to be a monogram...'DM - This Way Up!'...*

Wafts into quiet room with long suffering housekeeper who is pushing industrial vacuum cleaner and wearing yellow Marigold gloves". Glances over at red devil and notices he is holding some red acrylic undergarments.


"OHMYGOD! Hold it the right way up man and put on your glasses. Let me see... it says "MP" - indicating that this item is owned by Michael Paleogolopodopadus. I NEVER wear man made fibres,and he adores wearing this type of thing. Anyhow, I am a married lady" (scowls and stomps foot).


"Albena, get scrubbing, now where did I put my dog stunner?"

"Och Aye the Noo my wee pals. Krivens! I have just returned from Edinburgh, do you like my kilt? The baby pink and chocolate tartan and empire line is quite the thing with the Japanese clansmen gathered on the Royal Mile eating traditional haggis in a basket and traditional Scottish Ice-cream as made by Paulo McGelato"


"As DM well knows I do not wear any form of intimate garmet next to my nethers, no matter who it is owned by"


"Gimme a pink Gin"

    • 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.
