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’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
