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.

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.

    • This may be somewhat out of date but virtually no environmental benefit & almost entirely grass... really? https://www.gigl.org.uk/sinc/sobi09/ Description Peckham Rye was established as an open space in the late 19th century and includes several valuable habitat features spread across the park. The park is a Grade II Listed landscape, and has recently been restored with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A small community garden within the site is managed by the Friends of Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park won a Green Flag Award again for 2022. The site is used by the Southwark Health Walks project as part of a Walking the Way to Health (WHI) scheme. Wildlife This large park has several valuable habitat features. The most important of these is the only remaining above-ground section of the River Peck and the most natural stream in the borough. The stream is heavily shaded by native, unmanaged wet woodland dominated by alder, ash and pedunculated oak with a ground cover of pendulous sedge and bramble. Alder dominated woodland is a rare habitat in Southwark. Although somewhat altered with weirs, other artificial structures and ornamental planting, some sections are still in their natural banks and includes yellow flag, watercress, water figwort and cuckooflower. The largest of three ponds supports marginal vegetation including hemp agrimony. A variety of waterfowl nest on the wooded island, including tufted duck, coot, Canada goose and mallard. Substantial flocks of gulls visit the park in winter and bats are likely to forage over the water. Small blocks of predominantly native woodland, mostly on the boundary between the Park and the Common, are dominated by oak and ash with a well-developed understory, but sparse ground flora. Spring bulbs have been planted in previous years. These and several dense shrubberies support a good bird population and small numbers of pipistrelle bats are present. Infrequently mown grassland is located in one large area and was seeded in 2009. It's composition includes giant fescue, ladies bedstraw, meadowsweet, black knapweed and wild carrot. The rest of the park consists of amenity grassland with some fine mature trees.
