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?

    • I hadn't looked at the actual posts on Instagram. That's sad, then. The shop opening hours are still shown at the top of the page. I  guess changing them wasn't uppermost in her mind under the circumstances.
    • I want to recommend the kitchen fitters Top Marx kitchens. They were excellent from the communication, the planning and the fitting. John did a fantastic job of of fitting and worked around and solved many of the issues we had with Ikea who we purchased from. John gave lots of helpful advice and support. We would definitely use them again for any kitchen work. I have added before and after photos.
