Both myself and LadyDeliah have posted pics or links to pics on EDF in the past.


But I look a bit different to what I looked like this time last year.


Younger. :)

That is very interesting Louisa and I did not know the answer but a quick Google....


You have to go up several levels on the biological classification to the Order Carnivora to find a common classification for foxes and cats.


Cats are: Order Carnivora, Suborder Feliformia, Superfamily Feloidea, Family Felidae,Subfamily: Felinae, Genus Felis Genera Felis Catus (Domestic Cat)


Foxes are Order Carnivora, Suborder Caniformia, Family Canidae, Genus Vulpes, Genera Vulpes Vulpes (Red Fox)



The cat-like behaviour and physical traits of foxes are due to convergent evolution, in the same way that bats and birds both have wings.

I suppose Dogs and Hounds hunt in Packs and the Fox is a solitary hunter as the cat is.



P.S.

Thank you for the thread. ;-)

Louisa,


the fox is a member of the family canidae, so closer to a dog/wolf, but it is also described as cat-like in some respects, most notably its eyes- slitty pupils for nocturnal hunting, long thin canines with which it can deliver a killer bite, the habit of arching it back and hissing in a defensive display of aggression and its incredible climbing ability. Aside from all that they slink around like cats....


Forgot to add, unlike most cats which are obligate carnivores, foxes are carnivorous by choice but also scavengers, which means they can subsist on a wide range of foods- part of the reason for their immense ability to adapt.

You could always try and meet him like I did for the first time


After the birth of your first child and getting kicked out after visiting hours at Kings, order a stiff whiskey in the Bishop, and prepare to contemplate the big moments in life, past present and future


Wait for a stranger to approach and ask "are you SeanMacGabhann, I'm DulwichFox"


I wasn't expecting that to be honest....


Pleasant chat tho...

Woah woah. Hold on right there... you mean you chose to go home (via the pub) rather than spend the night in the ward on the floor/chair...

I spent all night in labour and headed to the nearest pub on eventually leaving Kings. Isn't that what you do?

Yep. Child no 1 safely delivered in 2003, a whiskey in the very old Magdela.


Child no 3 in 2009, mother in law babysitting child 1 and 2 and im back at the same bar, now the Magnolia with another whiskey.


I thought I deserved it. Even if no-one else did. It's a new dad thing.

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
