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.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
