I know this is just nature being red in tooth and claw, but my neighbour's cat has bloody gone and terrorised a starling baby bird. Scores of starlings are now screeching about my house. It's unnecessary for a cat to kill for pleasure. Please let your cat wear a bell to try to stop this kind of thing happening. Not sure if the little thing is dazed or bitten and therefore probably infected with deadly bacteria. It's the last thing I need. Nero

Cats should wear bells in order to allow my sound-guided chaingun garden accessory to turn them into a pretty Jackson Pollock of red and pink textured smears.


Huguenot,


in a bid to save the cats of east Dulwich from your felicidic tendencies I implore you to take out your artistic frustrations here instead. You'll need your mouse though;-)


Jackson Pollock

This is a particular bugbear of my husbands', he hates it when he sees cats maiming/killing birds. I remember a few years back when after my then 8 year old hearing one of my husbands rants, knocked next door and told my (snotty) neighbour that they should put a bell on their cat as it was killing our wildlife. She informed him that HER CAT would never commit such an horrendous deed. About a week later we saw her husband take a bird out of said cats mouth and throw it behind their shed!!


It should be law to wear a bell say I!!

Yes I agree completely. And teenage girls should all be made to throw away any clothes that display their toned abdominal areas. Loose fitting polo shirts should be worn by all of them - by law. And men should not ever wear sandals if they have hairey toes...

    • 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."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
