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!

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
