My cat was shot Monday lunchtime (about 1.30pm) somewhere around Henslowe/Barry Road. He's currently being operated on as the pellet is lodged in his liver. It was reported to the police who were very helpful.


I'm absolutely furious that there are idiots shooting air guns at all and sundry! :o(

How is shooting into peoples windows the slightest bit amusing? They're obviously old enough to handle a gun, so they must be seriously fucked up.


Hope these bastards get the chance to taste their own medicine before they get caught.


Poor cat... I had a cat that got seriously shot (as yours has been, philiphenslowe). It turned out to be our next door neighbour. Our cat did make a full recovery =)

Can I ask what prompted your Neighbour to decide to shoot the cat?

Amazing what we sort through and understand, because we know what was MEANT.


"Poor cat... I had a cat that got seriously shot (as yours has been, philiphenslowe). It turned out to be our next door neighbour" writes A, B enquires "Can I ask what prompted your neighbour to decide to shoot the cat?"


And yet syntactically it is the CAT which turned out to be the next door neighbour.

    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
