Got initially helpful directions from a man in Nunhead this morning who then went onto say he was a member of the local Neighbourhood Watch and could he come back to my house and discuss safety issues.

Am I wrong in thinking this was a bit odd? If anyone knows how Neighbourhood Watch works, I'd be interested to hear.

When we were young we'd walk past a building site. Hey mister, what are you doing? I'm building my own home. Great, can we have a look? Certainly. Each day after school. And then I passed with my mother one day and she thanked the home builder for entertaining young school children. And do you know what he showed us each day?


His days building work. Obviously in this day and age he would have provided us with hard hats and a quick safety talk. Or not approached us in any case due to the risk of misreporting.


Shame we have to be so suspicious. You never know it may be someone genuine - depending on your instincts (and your level of vulnerability) you could ask for more details and say that it wouldn't have been right to invite him round at this stage. Perhaps even talk to the local neighbourhood watch - if he is a genuine do-gooder some feedback from others on approach wouldn't do any harm. And if it is dodgy then SNT.

Trust your suspicions, that?s someone being a creep. Best case, lonely soul wants a cup of tea and a chat, and you?ll never be rid of him. ?Safety issues? is a line that could maybe lead to all sorts of things, perhaps including checking over your house with you and making security recommendations, while seeing for himself which window you leave unlocked and whatnot. Do encourage the local fuzz to have a word, if they can figure out who he is.

Sounds like the adult version of come back to my place and see my little kittens (or puppies).


Totally bizarre behaviour.

Lynne, this was raised at the aforementioned appallingly attended Police Safer Neighbourhood Meeting this evening and they said it had been dealt with. It was otherwise an interesting meeting, as usual. Such a shame the community do not attend these important local meetings.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
