More recently I was in Eastbourne on a turkey and tinsel break about 7 years ago and it was very warm inside the hotel.......I went outside and sat on a bench to get some fresh air.......two adult foxes strolled across the road and onto the car park......It was 10pm at night. They didn't seem at all bothered by my presence....and walked past me...no more that 6 feet away from where I sat.

Well I was into wild life in the 70's, so I was always out and about and only ever saw foxes very rarely at dusk up near Spires Farm - never on the coppice or other nearer places but occassionally could see their waste, different from dogs.
Where I am now back in 2007 one morning I opened my door and there was a big old really raggy/scabby fox standing at the door and it wouldn't move, I had to drive it away and then it went and sat in the garden in broad daylight - that was a once only occurence.
