Thank you chartwell for the link to Southwarks veiw on trapping foxs... I'm horrified we could be outside the law in our approach to the pest problem. Needless to say we wont be using that method again however successful it was. We are far more worried of turning into the pariah of the district. Not twenty minutes ago while queing in Somerfields two women slightly ahead of me were saying how disgusted they were at the thought of what the poor foxs had been subjected to and what she would like to do if she had the chance. Her language was less than christian paricularly as between them they had three small children looking wide eyed and upset. I was so red faced I had to leave the que pretending I'd forgotten something. As for the pit thing, it was'nt really a pit. It was just a hole our cleaner agreed to dig for a little extra money. She had no problem with what we were doing and said where she comes from they did much the same thing or just shot them (shes from Kuznetsk, Russia). I can assure all in the forum we will never do anything like this again and as my partner is now a dab hand with a catapult and ballbarings we certainly have no need.:-$

Dear Hillcourtcouple,


Was that you behind me just then in Somerfield? You should just count yourselves lucky I didn't have my catapult and ballbearings with me! Grrrrrrrrrrr


To think I was standing just inches from you - I was the tall slim figure in the mink coat and white rimmed sun glasses.

Dear dulwichmum,


Was that a swipe from a moc croc handbag I felt? I didn't think it could possibly be true...and so pleased that you are able to throw it in the wash should anyone splash it with any undesirable liquid thinking it fox fur! Afterall Lordship Lane is harbouring lynchers of non-respecters of Fantastic Mr Fox!

    • Yes. I imagine the retail environment is complex and with every change there are winners and losers. The end of retail price maintenance meant the big supermarket chains could undercut small grocers, and specialist shops, the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker  Allowing supermarkets to open longer meant the corner shop lost some of its advantages. Changing consumer demographics, the move to the big shop by car (and now on line) rather than walking or getting the bus into town several times a week, put more pressure in small retailers. But against all this we have niche outlets, farmers markets and the like doing well. Comparing Peckham and East Dulwich is interesting, one has numerous fresh food shops offering good value, the other has products generally costing much more, with their own USPs. Shops come and go, trends come and go, and there is always a risk that demand disappears, or there is more competition. Good discussions thanks.  To open it up rather than dwell on the retail environment, how do cheese stalls at the Horniman and Herne Hill farmers market fare?  Assuming they are still there - haven't shopped at Horniman since it moved from Saturday and recent visits to Herne Hill have been to buy lunch when going to Brockwell Park.
    • Hi all, Does anyone know what is going on with the large vacant warehouse right next to the kwikfit? It's been vacant for quite a while now and I am wondering what happened or what is going to happen to it
    • Some surveyors / damp specialists are linked to companies that do the remedial work. avoid - these people have one solution  which they apply to every damp problem irrespective of its cause. After wasting a lot of money on a big company damp specialist with a useless guarantee I found independentspecialistsurveys.co.uk   - His comprehensive report covered everything from gutters to location of furniture and size of ventilators. I would totally recommend him.
