Bizarre 4am occurence...


Recommended Posts

We live on Borland Road, in flats that overlook the allotments, and my wife woke up this morning at 4am to see that there was a bloke in a hoodie in the allotment standing over a bonfire he'd made. He was alone, pitch black, just sort of staring at the bonfire. Which obviously struck us as a bit weird. Did anyone else see this? And for what reason would a bloke make a bonfire on his own at 4am? Weird.

Tell someone from the allotment's committee and describe roughly where among the plots the bonfire was. They will be able to find out if it was a plotholder or someone coming into the allotments. It worth letting them know because the problem of thefts and damage. it might just be a non sleeping allotment person as November is when you can start having bonfires again and you can't leave a fire that is still alight.

someone having a bonfire on an allotment = criminal destroying evidence?


really? Someone being overly paranoid is more likely. You can't burn knives anyway.


I would have thought, close to bonfire night, someone was having a bonfire and stayed to watch it die down. The allotments have bonfires for Guy Fawkes night and we are talking Saturday night to Sunday morning.


My other half lights our bonfires at night and usually stays up until 4/5am and then has a bbq for breakfast.

I?m a plot holder/committee member on the allotments. As Jimmah says, we only allow bonfires on the site on 5th November, and all plot holders know this. We have had some issues this weekend with bonfires being lit before the 5th, and I?m sure this is simply another example. Our apologies to the residents in the Borland Road flats for this. If anyone would like to discuss further, please do feel free to contact us on our email address: [email protected]. Thanks all.

Yes you - you've contradicted yourself.

This morning, about 5am, I witnessed a man in a hoodie exit a door on a dark street near lordship lane, and he began just RUNNING! I followed him around east dulwich, and he just ran in a big loop for about 5 miles back to the door he had originally emerged from. At one point he ran across a road without even using the nearby zebra crossing, I noticed quite a sinister look in his eye as he did this. He seemed very exhausted and sweaty at the end of it all. Why would anyone do this?


Who should I report this unusual and potentially antisocial behavior to? MI5 perhaps?

Well. If it's not something you would do yourself and you cannot discern WHY anyone would do this, it's clearly illegal and should be reported to the authorities (possibly all of them).

If the culprit was wearing shorts and a singlet, consider this may just be cover for something more 'sinister'.

    • 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.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
