My dad sometimes took us to Kent where we'd shoot Rabbits and the occasional Pheasant with an air rifle. Pheasants have probably got to be the dumbest animals alive as on the way back from golf my dad would sometimes pull up on the verge and go and stun (then wring it's neck) one with one of his clubs and we'd hang it in the cellar to eat in the next day or so.


I could still probably skin and gut a rabbit.

Remember the smell still ? peeling the skin off like a wet suit & that film between skin & carcass. I get a fair few pheasant in the season if you fancy the odd brace.



W**F

gawd, that brings back memories, used to work for the fruit and veg sellers in the offices above at nine elms, sorting out dock tickets, making tea and answering the switchboard in a cockney accent. The highlight of the week was all the office staff being given a bag of fruit and veg to take home on a friday, i was paid ?35 a week :-S

    • Thanks Penguin. It could be a coincidence. But after years of road safety being on the local agenda they finally put the crossings in months before Dulwich Estates regain the lease on The Grove.   The Estate understands there is strong local interest in improving this area and we hope to be in a position to share some exciting updates in the near future. The temporary skatepark will remain unaffected. “Temporary skatepark” is telling.    
    • Back to my earlier post about familiarity.  I was in Croydon this afternoon walking between the two main stations.  Didn't feel unsafe, but there were some 'interesting' characters on the street.  Not that any were bothered with me. Not a place I'd choose to go for a bit of a fun.  Although having said that West Croydon has some cracking restaurants and the wonderfully named Saints and Sinners bar, where I once went on a corporate do - not that I did many of these. Whoops just checked and it closed a few months ago. Back on track, I never went to the Castle as I felt it was a bit rough.  How wrong was I?  Only real pub left in the area.
    • Wow Sue! I was reading your post with interest as I’ve never really felt unsafe in London and I was born here. It was just your last paragraph that derailed me and totally changed the subject matter! So unnecessary.
