Can you picture the headlines? I'll help you through it.


BREAKING NEWS!!!


Today history was made as the first man in history has been arrested on the charge of poor spelling. Today police officers of the Met's newly formed grammar unit arrested a man in south east London and also seized his computer. Sentencing was swift as the judge took no pleasure in handing the defendant a copy of lines to be copied 5000 times and if done incorectly he would have to do them all over again. The defendant has reportedly made an appeal to the courts of human justice but it was rejected on the grounds that they couldn't make head or tail of what he was on about. Senior detectives some with over 30 years on the job spoke of the utter barbarity in which the defendant had abused our rich and diverse language. Speaking outside of court detective inspector Wolf played down claims that the law lords were thinking of imposing custodial sentences on these scum. "No we wont be reverting back to the days of the spelling Nazi's who followed a policy of mass extermination as that would be a step back in the ongoing crusade against thickies", "what we want to do is rehabilitate them back into intelligent society through a structured programme of Fuzz buzz and Biff n Chips books not label them as outsiders". "I'm also very glad that operation Typo was a complete success and congratulate my officers in their dedication of my new units baptism of fire case".


A woman who goes by the name KalamityKel was also taken into custody in relation to the charges above but was later released as she'd only been using text speak in which the only person who is harmed is the person who uses it.

It was just a fleeting thought - I'm sure you're right.

      Injured fox on Crawthew Grove

      By Sue · Posted

      Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.

      Austin's furniture store, Peckham

      By SueJM · Posted

      My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road).

      Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
