It's only recently come to my attention that Peter Walsh has retired from his position of headmaster at Forest Hill boys. He's been there for 36 years and is a legend in his own trousers. I remember when I was in year nine and he was finally made head and he openly wept on the stage and none of us thought any less of him and the applause was deafening. He's being succeeded by my old form tutor Steve Brady who will doubtlessly carry the torch and do a sterling job in steering the school but needless to say I'm sure Walsh will make the odd unannounced visit to keep the next slap head in charge on his toes. All jokes aside I wish you all the best in your retirement and I'm my mind you'll always be 'Sir'.

    • This guy was found running loose on the common, up at the Colyton Road end. He was being quite over zealous with other dogs, causing a bit of mayhem. No collar, we think he might be a pup who's escaped. If he's yours, PM me and I can put you in touch with a kind young couple who got a lead on him and have put shout-outs on the local dog whatsapp groups.  If you are the parents of any of the young lads in school uniform, who were helping me as I tried to stop a fight kicking off between this chap and my dog, please tell your sons thank you. I really thought it was going to get nasty and I didn't get the chance to thank the boys - particularly the blonde one - who were helping me. He was being very brave as I crumbled.   
    • Another huge thumbs up for Robert 👍🏻 He’s done several jobs for us over the years and has always been quick, efficient and reliable. Most recently, our 20+-year-old boiler packed up during the coldest time of the year and he fixed it in 20 minutes. He’s Gas Safe registered and has done checks for us multiple times. Highly recommended. Robert Mills (07952 584171)  
    • I'm interested in a gentle run round the Rye
    • Official advice is NEVER to do this. It almost invariably results in a human fatality as well.  Also you have no idea of the age / health etc of the owner. What if it was an 80yr old person using a mobility scooter, you still going to suggest that they vault the fence and dive in? Even if it was a healthy and able person, unless you are an experienced open water swimmer, cold shock will kill most people in minutes (often less). And while that lake isn't especially deep, there could be all manner of detritus on the bottom of it, obstacles that could snag a person, puncture through a shoe etc. Sorry but while I hate to see a dog get into trouble like that, your suggestion that the owner should "just" have leapt in to help is utterly wrong. They'd have been fishing a human body out as well as the dog. Edit: also if you jump in after the dog and start trying to catch it, it may think it's all a big game and get excited. What you actually need to do is to stand on the bank and call it back.
