It is difficult to understand why someone would leave a load of mouldy bread by the lake in Peckham rye park. The birds won?t touch it and it only serves to endanger the wellbeing of unfortunate dogs who cannot resist their scavenging tendencies. My dog is one such and required an expensive purge at the vets in order secure his safety from mycotoxic poisoning. Very annoying.

I saw a similar incident a couple of years ago. A couple came along with a black bin bag full of bread that was thick with blue mould and stank. They just emptied it over the railings and walked off. I thought it was most strange, as it isn't hard to get rid of food waste in Southwark, so walking half way across Peckham Rye Park to get rid of it seemed unnecessary. But they didn't hang around to see the ducks eat the bread either. Very strange.
Think there are several people who dump bread en mass on the Rye and in the park. Have reported to the park ranger's office in the past. They told me they are aware but hard to act on. Many of the feeders have personal issues that compel them to do this. One particular guy drives around several local parks 'feeding' the birds... I have a greedy dog, so far no harm but will check for mycotoxic poisoning.

    • We need to build houses for social rent. Not 'affordable housing' (which is a euphemism for housing that is completely unaffordable to most) - actual council housing.  Taxes do need to go up. We have to stabilise public services and start paying down our national debt to break free of the sway bond markets have over UK governments freedom to act. We are probably all going to have to work longer too. The original UK state pension was there to help those who often had been in physically demanding manual or labouring jobs. The retirement age was set above average life expectancy at the time; It was not designed for a population of mainly white collar workers people to spend one-quarter, to one-third of their adult life in retirement. I know that may sound harsh, and I certainly don't want to work forever, but the fact is that we have an aging population and a diminishing tax base, and no politician who is willing to make fundamental reforms. Mostly we need to grow, and that means at some point, addressing our relationship with the world's largest trading block right on our doorstep. The damage done by Brexit has been crazy. The fact that it's chief architect has managed to come up smelling of roses and may potentially be our next PM is just mind blowing to me.
    • Mice will eat *anything*! That shop had a couple of very low food hygiene ratings over the years (and it was closed for "refurbishment" for a while which was obviously the first attempt to deal with the pest problem) so I'm not surprised by that article. You'd hope that pest control would have dealt with the majority of them...
