He/she followed me and my friends quite a long way along the road so we worried they might be out of their catchment area. Quite dusty paws which also made me think perhaps they’d been roaming away from home for a few days.

Took photos in case anyone is missing them! Very pretty, friendly long-haired black and white cat, leopard print collar, pink paw-print metal tag. They eventually stopped following us across the road from Mrs Robinson.

Ah, grand! Yeah he was lurking near the vet when he first decided to promenade along Lordship Lane with us.  A friendly chap though he took gentle umbrage at me removing some of the leaves from his fur.

Raymond!! What a treasure. Long may he maraud.

Don't know if Raymondo still does it.but he used to wander in and out the co op.which was last year😊 this cat knows how to chill.

Did he shoplift snack food like seagulls sometimes do, or did he queue up and pay like a responsible southeast London citizen?

🤣 at the puns.

Seriously though, thank you for not assuming he must be lost just because he followed you a long way.

Thank you for posting on here rather than  taking him back to your house!

Of course! Not least because I live in Sydenham, so that would be a long way to take him out of his manor, he'd have been very confused. He looked pretty happy, I just thought it made sense to check.

He seems purr-fectly happy pussyfooting around Lodship lane. 

I got a bit nervous when he decided to cross the road, but he must have thought it was a whisk(er) worth taking.

But it's not for me to paw-lice his movements.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
