Was anyone else awoken by a fox fighting with what looked like a cat on Heber road Friday night? It was late, probably about 3am. I looked out the window and it was horrific, and it seemed (though it was dark) as though the cat came off quite badly. I won't go into details here. My partner got up and went outside and walked up and down the road but he couldn't see the cat anywhere - the fox we had seen run off in the meantime. I am a cat lover, and I have had nightmares since about the owners possibly finding their cat in a very bad state. The cat might not be a Heber road resident at all, as cats do tend to ramble around, I hope he made it home ok
My late cat was chased by a fox who was thwarted by the narrow window opening. He stayed on the window ledge for quite a while. I think it is quite unusual - foxes and cats usually are amicable. Have to agree with ???? on this one, Tally Ho.

I would love to start a fox hunt in East Dulwich. I can just see us galloping down from Ladlands me on the back of an enormous black hunter, in my perfect gleaming black leather boots and riding pink (sigh), Michael Proctologist on a small grey donkey..


I worry so about Chav's chickens.


What say you ????? Do you have a steed or should I ask the strange lady who runs the riding stables at Dulwich Park if she could see her way to lending you the pair of cart horses that she uses to pull the hearse to Norwood Cemetry?


I think it would be a wonderful way to spend a winter morning...

My brother used to fox hunt in East Dulwich on the way home from the CPT. He once 'penned' a fox in the front garden of 128 Barry Road (I'll apologise to our former neighbours on his behalf). The fox, being cleverer than him jumped over the gate and legged it towards the rye.


...those were the days...


up in Hackney/Dalston, though, we've been having the same problem. Every night the local cats and foxes go mental. Either fighting with eachother or performing insane mating rituals. It must be Spring.

Surely an urban fox hunt would have to be carried out by men in hoodies on those buzz-bike, Japanese style mopeds preceded by a pack of staffeis with spiked collars. Instead of a horn it would be heralded by some hippiddy hop blasted from a mobile phone and as the hunt comes by girls in track suits would walk around offering trays of turkey twizzlers to the riders.

    • 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.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
