Is anyone else concerned about the proliferation of Akita dogs? I?m a dog lover and not easily scared but I?ve started crossing the road when I see one. I?ve never seen such aggressive dogs. I saw one last night coming very close to attacking a dog on Lordship Lane. Same dog then tried to bite a passer-by?s hand. Owner then casually walked into The Bishop with his dangerous dog?

Basically it's legal, so not much can be done about it - regardless how concerned one is !

I am also wary about the tougher breeds (especially since a nasty incident on Goose Green in Feb), but am finding that avoidance, where possible, is the only remedy.

"not recommended with other dogs"


"Akitas are quiet, fastidious dogs. Wary of strangers and often intolerant of other animals, Akitas will gladly share their silly, affectionate side with family and friends. They thrive on human companionship. The large, independent-thinking Akita is hardwired for protecting those they love. They must be well socialized from birth with people and other dogs."

Obviously responsibility begins and ends with the owners. A dog is a dog. Is it responsible dog ownership to buy a large, strong dog that's wary of strangers when you live in a busy London suburb with small (if you're lucky) Gardens?

    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.
