Isn't Alleyn's a separate school? Have I misunderstood the article?

If you're talking about the later part of the article, then yes, Alleyns is a separate school. First the JAGS head raised concerns about the culture of Dulwich College students (boys); then the former Alleyns student did the same thing from the students' perspective. Kids move among the 3 schools, play sports, know each other socially...

There was a strong denialist counterreaction from some Dulwich College parents (mostly mums, interestingly), and then Dulwich College tried to brush it off, and leant on COVID laws to stop a protest outside the gates. The initial hushup failed, and they then promised to do a review and publish a strategic plan...which might never have seen the light of day (I stopped watching the issue). So I suppose ultimately brushing the whole thing under the carpet worked

Anyone know what he actually did? Or seen the letter he sent out? 'losing his temper' sounds extemely euphemistic...

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
