Damn those Pesky Foxes!


Recommended Posts

Thank you chartwell for the link to Southwarks veiw on trapping foxs... I'm horrified we could be outside the law in our approach to the pest problem. Needless to say we wont be using that method again however successful it was. We are far more worried of turning into the pariah of the district. Not twenty minutes ago while queing in Somerfields two women slightly ahead of me were saying how disgusted they were at the thought of what the poor foxs had been subjected to and what she would like to do if she had the chance. Her language was less than christian paricularly as between them they had three small children looking wide eyed and upset. I was so red faced I had to leave the que pretending I'd forgotten something. As for the pit thing, it was'nt really a pit. It was just a hole our cleaner agreed to dig for a little extra money. She had no problem with what we were doing and said where she comes from they did much the same thing or just shot them (shes from Kuznetsk, Russia). I can assure all in the forum we will never do anything like this again and as my partner is now a dab hand with a catapult and ballbarings we certainly have no need.:-$

Dear Hillcourtcouple,


Was that you behind me just then in Somerfield? You should just count yourselves lucky I didn't have my catapult and ballbearings with me! Grrrrrrrrrrr


To think I was standing just inches from you - I was the tall slim figure in the mink coat and white rimmed sun glasses.

Dear dulwichmum,


Was that a swipe from a moc croc handbag I felt? I didn't think it could possibly be true...and so pleased that you are able to throw it in the wash should anyone splash it with any undesirable liquid thinking it fox fur! Afterall Lordship Lane is harbouring lynchers of non-respecters of Fantastic Mr Fox!


Chartwell

    • The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.
