I'm not "giving him any leeway"? I'm just saying it's not a simple issue. And where did I say - anywhere - that I viewed scratching cars as in any way acceptable?!

Well, we've got no idea why this particular person scratched these cars, unless somebody posting on here knows otherwise. I don't think it's possible to generalise, and I think there are many many factors involved in what should be the "punishment" blah blah. There are moral, social and psychological issues, aren't there, as well as legal issues. People probably do degrees in it :) ETA: And I'm not saying I wouldn't be very pissed off indeed if somebody scratched my car, however I would also probably want to kill anybody who harmed my daugher or my grandchildren, but that doesn't mean I believe in killing people legally as a punishment or "deterrent" ......

When it first opened there were loads of exhibitions there.

It feels quieter and greener. I have lived in ED for over twenty years, apart from shortish periods away, and for me the changes have reached a tipping point where I am beginning not to feel part of it any more. I don't think it's just my age, though that might be a factor, as I can't afford things I could when I was working. I co-run http://www.thegooseisout.com and all our gigs are now in Nunhead (apart from some things like the Dulwich Festival Fair). My present house unfortunately still has a number of reminders of poor workmanship from various tradespeople, some of which are still not sorted and some of which probably can't be :( I am weighing up pros and cons (not least that I'd have to pay stamp duty on a new house out of the proceeds of selling my old house :( ) but at the moment I'm leaning towards moving. That could change!

Yes but unfortunately not all parents are able or willing to take responsibility for their children. Or, as somebody said above, they may have tried their best but without success.

Yes the gap in house prices is closing rapidly and yes, houses are selling very quickly. Rough area, unlurked? You're joking, yes? Unfriendly people? Quite the opposite in my experience. Though - if "money-orientated" people are moving to Nunhead, that's a definite point against as far as I'm concerned. It's one of the reasons I'm considering moving out of ED :( ETA: I'm looking at the Rye end, not the Queen's Road end.

Ah. The undertakers should come in handy if I run out of coffins :))

KidKruger Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Kids like this ...... > we'll run around in circles concentrating on the > person who does @#$%& all, yet destroys what > others have worked for ...... xxxxxxx KK, to be fair, we (and I'm making assumptions here) know absolutely nothing at all about this kid, or his background. I don't think it's right to leap to conclusions. Yes he might just be a nasty little shit, but he might also be abused, mentally ill, whatever. And even if he is just a nasty little shit, there are surely ways of trying to make sure he doesn't continue scratching cars, or carying on to worse things, which don't have the reverse effect (ie piss him off so much that he does go on to worse things). If you see what I mean.

KidKruger Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > But Nunhead's where common people live isn't it ? xxxxxx Yes. That's the main reason I want to move there :)

Yes, and near a lot of green spaces. And two great pubs with The Ivy House and The Old Nun's Head! Though not sure about the shops, which ones do you mean?

I'm considering moving from the North Cross Road area to Nunhead. Has anybody done it? If so, are you happy you did, or wish you hadn't? What would you say are the pros and cons? Ta :)

uncleglen Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > At 15 although he is a minor he should know right > from wrong. xxxxxxx Yes he should, but we have no idea of his background and clearly he either didn't, or chose not to use that knowledge. Harsh or inappropriate "punishment" or whatever is just going to make things worse - isn't it? Maybe he should meet with the people whose cars he scratched, and explain to them why he did it - if he can.

Staying on the cat theme, albeit not Schrodinger's: http://en.rocketnews24.com/2013/05/08/when-two-amazing-worlds-collide-welcome-to-the-world-of-cat-sushi/ and http://www.wimp.com/cattheremin/ :))

Jerry Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > My interest is simply that I liked Sergio, thought > the deli was good and that a good guy shouldn't be > squeezed out by greedy landlords. xxxxxxx But as I said above, the reason they themselves gave for closing down was increased competition from similar businesses who had opened locally. So presumably the "greedy landlords" only became an issue when their customers went elsewhere and they had less money to pay the landlords? Clearly somebody thinks they can make a go of a deli in that position, if another deli is opening there, and presumably they will be paying the same if not more to the landlord. It seems there is a lot more involved than just "extortionate ground rents charged by Dulwich Estates"? Don't get me wrong, Dulwich Estates may be charging a lot, but surely so would any landlord for property in a prime position in a prosperous area? ETA: And like any bookshop, I would guess that Village Books are losing customers to the internet, and therefore - like the deli- have less money available to pay the rent. That's an unfortunate fact of life.
