Thought I'd start a fred about the big Dogs you've spotted in ED...'cause I'm bored!...and I'm not a dog luva either.


Here are the ones I've spotted so far...


1) Clarence - The Grey Weimar (sp?) owned by the bald fella from the Bishop.


2) Some old boy walking around with 2 huge fluffy dogs that look like Huskys (They are not huskies though but some other breed which I don't know) - he's on to a winner with those dog's as whenever he takes them out he always get's stopped by girl's (old and young) wanting to stroke and pet them!... bet he loves it!


3) A young fella who uses the 8.35 from ED to London Bridge - with a puppy or v.young version of the same breed that the old fella has.

I don't think the young fell is using the pup to its full potential though... he should teach it some cute tricks and get it to perform them in front of the ladies....(its a very cute dog)!


The old fella just loves all the attention - I've seen him in action a few times now!

We were walking through Goose Green a couple of months ago and saw the 2 huge fluffy dogs being walked in the dog free bit, so I obviously pointed this out to the fat guy and his mate who was walking them, he replied;

"it's alright I work for the parks department"

"hmmmm, doesn't mean you can walk your dogs in the dog free bit does it?"

"I look after he place so I can do what I want"

"shouldn't you set an example to people then and not walk your dogs in there"

"blah blah blah something about them being good dogs and they've done their business already so go away"

"fact is mate it's a dog free area and your dogs are in there"

"blah blah agressive talk about why don't I sod off and mind my my own business"

So we walk off and now dislike the fat bloke who walks those big dogs. Lovely dogs though.

Baldy, that sounds strangely like a description of craig bellamy!

When I grew up a friend of mine had a munsterlander, a dog I absolutely adored (mairead hates dogs so sadly will never get to own one). Anybody got one I can arrange to pet on the green some time in a non-cottaging manner?

El M, who is craig bellamy?!

H, I know because some friends of mine had a dalmatian (also they are the only dogs that genuinely smile at humans - most people think they are snarling when they do this, but actually it's a smile).*





*I also know so much about dogs because I used to work at Dog World magazine when I was younger.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
