I think they're great too - I hope Health & Safety don't get ideas from Nutty's comments! I thought the post-modernist, renaissance approach was an awfully astute and profound socioeconomic, political, petit-bourgouise statement that juxtaposes the modern evils of technology with the antiquated.... Oh hang, on. Sorry, they're just kinda pretty! ;-)


I did think it little more than coincidence though that they had the evil, cunning and dangerous stalking wolf on the Camberwell side and the precious, delicate and defencless lambs on the East Dulwich side!

Why does everything have to be turned into postcode nonsense? Sheesh.


I was braced not to like the sculptures as I don't think the pictures linked to the thread did them justice but I saw them this week for the first time, and I love them. The metal is used in so many creative ways - viz. the overlapping scales that make up the faces vs the looping tubes that represent the curly coats of the sheep, and the whole composition is wonderfully tense.

I couldn't care less about postcodes. Nor can I answer such an age-old question. Well, by age-old, I mean since SE22 emerged from divesville about 5 years ago. Coincidentally, probably shortly after I arrived! ;-)


Sheesh, why does everyone have to get so sensitive?!

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      Bitey Fox.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
