Peeps through the keyhole, noticed that the bottle of port was empty,Michael was stumbling about looking for the

door through glazed eyes,hughnot stirs slightly but turns over cuddling the bolster with a smile on his face,the most peaceful his been this year, whats he been upto sly old dog i think. moos is still asleep. and citizen is asleep

again with the racing paper over his head.

Michael has found the coffee, good I think in ten minutes he,ll be asleep. and it will be quiet again.

Climb out of swimming pool, wasnt expecting that,ruined my moccasins.

I shouldnt have drugged the coffee,moos is a bit fiery better avoid her.

Leaves out a cream doughnut for Citizen Ed, and a Glinfiddich whiskey,walks over to a fast asleep Hughnot and brushes his fez, while putting it back takes a quick shufty at his stocks and shares paper and notice what he has ringed with his pen,chuckles quietly and nips over to see what horse Cit Ed has underlined,leaves quietly slipping past moos and hope she didnt notice me Wild thing she is,

Karter and Micharl seem very secretive,hiding things,walk and casually walk past,slip over a book left on the floor

and bang my head on the wall.

That sounded a bit hollow, tap down the wall and there is a split in it.

Look through ,crafty buggers. its a secret room.

Theres people in there, through a dimly lit smokey room, Ican just make out for people playing poker.

One looks like Quids. one eating a curry seems to be Michael P.who the others are I cant make out.

Are there twins in this place I wonder.

I feel dizzy got to sit down.

*Tiptoes in, trying to avoid scuffing the parquet floor with the cleats of cycling shoes, having just averaged 57mph through the dog walkers and pedestrians of Dulwich park.

Notices Mockney's innovation of a trained drink-dispensing monkey and orders usual pint of absinthe and carrot juice. Squints suspiciously at jar of runner bean marmalade on mantlepiece, opens lid and takes tentative sniff- not too bad, but hard to tell where marmalade ends and mould begins. Samples a spoonful, splutters and bellows:


"MONKEY, WHERE'S THAT BLOODY DRINK? BRING IT IMMEDIATELY OR GET A DAMN GOOD SLAP!"


General grunting and harumphing follows. Looks around and, embarrassed, sinks back into armchair. Deduces from disapproving glares that it must be bad form to threaten to spank another fellows monkey in the Quiet Room.*

    • 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.
