About 4 nights ago, the foxes were 'at it' again in the streets around North Cross Road at about 5am. As usual I was woken from a deep sleep thinking that there were murders taking place outside. To my surprise, I then heard 'pop, pop, pop'. I can only assume that someone with more gumption/less patience than I has purchased a BB gun or similar. The screeching stopped & I am eternally grateful to my well armed neighbour. I assume no harm was done to the animals, but the noise drove them to someone else's street....

May I ask that when people give threads ambiguous titles like this they add the caveat 'the animal kind' or somesuch.

I opened this one expecting a discussion about the relative merits ofGirls Aloud and The Pussycat Dolls.

Second time I've been misled this week, that Stray Cats one had nothing to do with the elaborately coiffed popabilly band.

Play the game, a chap can only stand so much disappointment.

No apology necessary Miss P, and not pathetic in the least.

But I reckon that a thread titled 'Horny Canidae' or 'Sexy Canids' could run to a four or five pager.

Just a thought.

Foxes are vermin. For heaven's sake. There was no fox blood, so I think they were scared off by the noise as opposed to shot through the head. I don't like having rats or mice scuttling around my skirting boards at night, should I avoid disturbing them, too? I'm not that fond of spiders either, but at least they're nice and quiet.

you need a bloke (with testicles, eunuchs don't work) to wee where they come into your garden. its a scent thing - early morning pee is best as its stronger, not after the pub, and you need to go in the same spot a few times to make it work


the fox population has increased this year because of the mild summer and the increasing amount of food waste left around.


part of the racket is now no longer due to mating but fighting as the adults kick this year's litter out and they encounter other foxes territories - this is all the barking, running around and chasing in the middle of the night - and also demonstrates there are too many foxes for too little space, but winter, roads and mange will thin out the weak ones and the population will regulate itself.

Well I don't mind the noise, I think it's great we have animals living in a city, and it's better than the noise of screaming creatures being carried off by owls I used to get when I lived in the country.


I have a young fox asleep in my garden as I type, and I think it's great.


Live and let live unless they're actually harming you, that's what I say.


Edited to add: And if someone was shooting at them intending to hit them, I think that's bloody disgraceful, frankly.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
