Suspect woman knocking, asking for ?? - 11:15pm

Had a woman knocking on our door late last night near the corner of Peckham Rye and the Gardens. She claimed she couldn't hear me obviously to get me to open the door and that she needed help because her meter had run out and she only had ?3 on her. All very odd, and I was not impressed or about to fall for it, told her I couldn't help her!

There was a woman in the car park in Croydon asking people for 20p for her bus fare to see her sick sister. She was there the following week asking the same thing from everyone who passed her. Say she gets 20p from most people- steady flow back and forth from the lift to the car park all day and they only come and go once a week probably, she could amass not much short of ?40 a day by my calculations...and before you ask, no, I did not contribute.

The trick is to find out the generous/vulnerable people then ask more from then.


It's a sad world where it's better/safer to appear mean.

I might have seen this woman too. What did she look like?

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
