Hi Mark sorry we could meet up on Weds, LM told me you were going to meet us in the pub. I had to attempt journey home to Norwood, which was ok as I drove in the bus lane. ( Not recommended but all the buses were stuck on Anerley Hill)B)
In a quick trip round the Forest Hill end of ED bus routes appear to have been gritted and are running (reasonably) clear but non-bus routes (e.g. the end of Wood Vale south of Melford where buses don't run) haven't - and no side streets, of course. Seems a sensible use of limited resources.

Living just off FHR and it's a whiteover on the side roads, although not too icy there at the mo.


Haven't yet seen a 63 or 363 so presume they're no longer making it this far. TfL says they're running normally of course! Just seen one 363 teetering down northbound to E&C, pretty full; wonder how long it's taken to get here. Two P12s have just come through, so presumably they're taking their bats home.


H.O.Park is looking rather up the spout according to the live departures board, which I find terminally optimistic anyway.

    • Watching my cats over the years with foxes, I've found that foxes have totally ignored them. One exception was when a young fox hadn't seen my cat and found himself eye to eye with my cat at a distance of 1 metre. There was a stand off but the fox blinked first and my cat chased him out of the garden. So proud of her. I believe when foxes have attacked cats, the cat has been vulnerable  - old, young, ill wounded.
    • It's also possible that someone is hand feeding foxes and encouraging them by this to approach others. I have heard of foxes attacking young children (if only anecdotally) but not adults. They do seem to attack cats. 
    • I've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.
    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
