Yes, I know it was a monkey in Hartlepool. For spying for the French during the Napoleonic Wars.


Then it was H'Angus the Monkey who became Mayor on the promise of free bananas to school children (which never happened btw).


But I though we could go one better with a rabbit. Spying for the North Koreans! Is there an East Dulwich version of the Stasi we could call on?

Bigger than a house Iv'e heard ... I saw it


Iv'e seen its ear poking up above the rooftops on North cross road , and a deafening chomping sound . perhaps thats why SMBS had sold out organic carrots

  • 2 weeks later...

I saw a giant rabbit

On the corner of Friern Road

I tried my best to grab it

But it hopped off as I strode

Towards the enormous fluffy thing

With arms outstreched I seethed

It hurdled the fence with an incredible spring

I followed it and heaved

My bulk into Maureen's garden

And ripped my shirt in the chase

I saw Maureen at the window and said "I beg your pardon

Is there a giant rabbit in this place?"

"How dare you trespass" Maureen said to me

"There's no giant rabbit here".

"Sorry" I said and went home for my tea

With hanky I wiped a tear

For I love that damned bunny

And I haven't caught it yet

I'd gladly relinquish all my money

For it to me my pet

Slightly off topic but I was recently on the 176 bus and someone stole my shoe (which I -- distracted by reading --

had let slip off my foot).

So I had to walk home from Lordship Lane with one shoe.


Who -- other than, obviously, a fox -- would want one shoe?

    • And the Sainsbury’s own brand chocolate mini rolls have gone from £1.15 to £1.40 overnight, so 22%-ish. I prefer them them to the Cadbury original because they have a lot more chocolate on them, presumably because they’re made in a less advanced factory. I would think that getting the Rizla thin coating of chocolate that Cadbury’s accountants demand onto a piece of sponge is quite a sophisticated operation. Discuss.
    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
