Yes, I know it was a monkey in Hartlepool. For spying for the French during the Napoleonic Wars.


Then it was H'Angus the Monkey who became Mayor on the promise of free bananas to school children (which never happened btw).


But I though we could go one better with a rabbit. Spying for the North Koreans! Is there an East Dulwich version of the Stasi we could call on?

Bigger than a house Iv'e heard ... I saw it


Iv'e seen its ear poking up above the rooftops on North cross road , and a deafening chomping sound . perhaps thats why SMBS had sold out organic carrots

  • 2 weeks later...

I saw a giant rabbit

On the corner of Friern Road

I tried my best to grab it

But it hopped off as I strode

Towards the enormous fluffy thing

With arms outstreched I seethed

It hurdled the fence with an incredible spring

I followed it and heaved

My bulk into Maureen's garden

And ripped my shirt in the chase

I saw Maureen at the window and said "I beg your pardon

Is there a giant rabbit in this place?"

"How dare you trespass" Maureen said to me

"There's no giant rabbit here".

"Sorry" I said and went home for my tea

With hanky I wiped a tear

For I love that damned bunny

And I haven't caught it yet

I'd gladly relinquish all my money

For it to me my pet

Slightly off topic but I was recently on the 176 bus and someone stole my shoe (which I -- distracted by reading --

had let slip off my foot).

So I had to walk home from Lordship Lane with one shoe.


Who -- other than, obviously, a fox -- would want one shoe?

    • Someone had a worse day than you. Be grateful not to be involved.
    • 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.  
    • 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.
