Anyone who thinks Tom's posts are anything but mature and that they don't show great consideration for this caller needs their head examined. Louisa summed it up well while Salsaboy's mother hen comment is strange as you have the option of ignoring a thread on the forum if you wish.

There are ways of correcting and ways of correcting LadyD.


A 'thanks for trying to help but you are wrong on this one' would have sufficed, instead of using provocation tactics.


Then it wouldn't have turned into a bitchfest would it?

aquarius moon I think that's slightly unfair. The opening post made a very reasonable attempt to explain themselves - subsequent early responses went off topic and made wild assumptions. The OP clearly felt these comments were not relevant.

I think the best thing might be to contact the Adult Services team at Southwark and ask to speak to the team that deals with elderly vulnerable people and/or adult mental health. They may be able to identify the lady and offer her some support following an assessment of her needs.

OK, many thanks, will do first thing Monday.

To be fair though, if part of the theme of this thread is extending special courtesies to the elderley. Shouldn't this be extended equally to the Fox? I am correct in assuming he is a mature gentleman? A lot of his post have a "In the good old days, East Dulwich..." theme.

Why are SOME people here so obsessed with what The Fox says. ?

Have you really not got more important things to worry about. ?


People doing Post-Mortems on all of The Fox's past posts.


'Middle age in his 20's'


Age only exists in the minds of ordinary people..

The more Talented and Exceptionable are sometime Old and sometimes Young..

In the same way they are sometimes Happy and sometimes Sad..

My original reply to the OP may of been wrong, but was based on the symptoms of what the OP described.

They were similar to calls my late mother had been receiving a couple of years back.


The reply was a genuine attempt to help. That's what I do. I help people.


Sometimes advice is misguided or misunderstood. But if I can help one person for every two I try, I am happy.


It is not The Fox (as people seem to of named me) that is negative. It's the pack of Hounds that chase him.


This Fox Hunts Alone.

Looks like the habit is fairly widespread :)

Social Services operate on addresses generally and not phone numbers however given more details as to the nature of the calls and conversation had, they may ring up the person and try and find out more about the lady. A quiet talk with PC Adrian Crust and giving him the number, he may be able to find out the address and do a 'checking call'to see if the lady is ok. Depending on outcome, Police will decide whether to contact Social Services.

Delighted to report that the calls have stopped. None for the last 2 nights/days.

The new phone system enabled us to bar calls from her number and it also lists all attempts to connect to us from that barred number.

Whether the lady in question reads the EDF or has a friend/relative who intervened, we will never know but whatever happened, a positive outcome was achieved.

May thanks to all those who offered sympathy and suggestions.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
