    I lived in Ealing for 20 years. Lots of city foxes in the evening and at night. They never caused any major problems. The only issue was if someone left a black bin bag out on the street as it was (full of rubbish/food waste) overnight by the morning it was all over the street. But that wasn't the foxes fault, it was the fault of the simpleton who left out the black bin bag. I've also heard of people who keep chickens having problems. But again, what do you expect.

    Actually I am amazed anyone takes ONE lone story and then somehow thinks foxes hurting babies is some common occurrence and that foxes are a menace and a danger on London's streets Where is the logic to that? Where is the thought process? !!!!!!. Your biggest problem in South Ryslip will be dodgy homo sapiens in hoodies mooching about the streets. My brother in law was mugged there for his phone. Worry about those sort of things first.

    The chances of a fox causing you a problem any more than I outlined in my first paragraph are pretty much nil. Get on with your life and enjoy it and stop letting the tabloids and media build something up to be something it isn't.

    Indeed. If you think there are nutters on the tube, you should see the subway there.

    Still, not a patch on buses in LA.
