After the recent online mistreatment of DF I have taken it upon myself to setup a special thread in appreciation of his contribution to this forum as well as the local community of East Dulwich over the years. He is an informative, engaging and thoroughly decent poster to this forum who has always explained himself before posting and in my opinion, never once gone out of his way to upset or goad anyone. Here's to DF, an ED institution.


Remember foxes are for life, not just for EDF folks amusement.

What mistreatment? I don't recall any personal comments, just a bit of (very) gentle ribbing.


Besides, he is quick to point out the difference between his online persona (one of perpetual negativity) with the real man (the man all the local shopkeepers wave to, the card tricks, etc). In which case he should consider any perceived "attacks" (even though they are nothing of the sort) to be aimed at the former.

My only criticism of DF (the online version at least) is that he seems to be genuinely incapable of saying "hands up, I was wrong about that", even when presented with irrefutable facts. Gets quite frustrating.


`And there was the time he ASKED FOR FEEDBACK about a website he was putting together, but then took offence at or argued with every single comment, even though lots of people were giving him the same advise.


But that aside he's a nice fella.

I've never met Dulwich Fox in person but in the forum I admire the way he manages to conduct himself with dignity even when the Lounge hounds (NB extended metaphor not a personal criticism of clique members past or present) are snapping at him.

Foxy is the only poster over the years I have tried to imagine them IRL. Saw a Bernard Cribbins lookalike outside Jaflong giving it a wistful look yesterday who is my most recent suspect.


May I suggest a croudsourced membership pack, a la, the old Dennis the Menace one, with a wallet and badge?

    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd. 
    • I know I'm a bit premature but don't want to forget through too much Chrisntas cheer! Southwark Council Christmas trees recycling arrangements 2025 - bit worrying for the future that they're emphasising the free bit. "We’ll collect and recycle your real Christmas tree for free!  Trees should not be taller than 5ft. You should chop any taller trees into smaller pieces. Remove all decorations and the pot or stand and recycle it by: putting your tree with your garden waste containers on collection day requesting a free collection if you do not have a garden waste collection  taking it to our Reuse and Recycling Centre [43 Devon Street, SE15 1AL open 08:30-16:30 Mon-Sun] If you live in a flat you must leave the tree: outside on the kerb visible for the collection crew not in a bin store" I'll add the link to the collection booking service when it opens on 22 December. 
    • Most homes in East Dulwich / Good Green ward have collections on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. So no changes for them this year.  But for those few local homes with collections normally on Thursdays or Friday, with Christmas, Boxing day happening on Thursday and Friday any blue, brown or green bin collections will be delayed by two days. So Thursday 25 December collections will be on Saturday 27 December and Friday 26 December collections on Sunday 28 December. For New Years day those Thursday collections will be on the Friday 2 January and those with normal collections of Fridays that will be on Saturday 3 January. To double check when your Southwark Council rubbish, recycling, food waste, garden waste collections will be taking place please please check here - https://services.southwark.gov.uk/bins/lookup
    • Luckily I don't really any regular reason to park at Dawson Heights.  It must be very difficult for the residents I do feel for them.  Thank you for them.  I just presumed that Southwark owned the estate and would be responsible for parking enforcement there.
