Monkey

She's a lovely cat. I sympathise. You could get a tag made with your own special message sth like: "Don't feed me it might kill me". I get mines from the web and they usually come within a couple of days. Good luck.

There is a big ginger wandering around Whateley Road -- he's obviously lost and looks rather confused. He's been trying to get into our house for shelter but got scared off by the smell of our cat. If anyone has lost a ginger - message and I'll take him in.

The "system" IS working... However the authorities do not have a crystal ball. I posted Whistling Man's ASBO terms on this forum a couple of days ago. If you see him being threatening, drunk, noisy... call the council or the safer neighbourhood team. They will take the appropriate measures.

Get a grip. I live on the road and never had a problem. Neither have my neighbours or friends.

Just for the record - the whistling man does not live on Whateley Road and there is no more of a problem walking down Whateley Road than in any other street on East Dulwich. I happen to know however that the Whistling Man has got an ASBO against him. The courts have ordered that he must not: - Assault, threaten, abuse or insult any person in or residing in the London Borough of Southwark - Be drunk in a public place in the London Borough of Southwark - Cause any noise so as to cause or likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to any person in or residing in the London Borough of Southwark If he does any of the above, you can call Southwark's ASBO line or 999.

Because their rehoming was the result of a long process and I was kept aware of the steps that were being taken. Basically the situation was untenable for neighbours but also for members of the family who were at risk of harm from each other. A solution had to be found and that was in everybody's interest. I say it again: they have not been chucked out on the street. The council even arranged for a removal van to take them and their belongings to their new dwellings.

I am one of their ex long-suffering neighbours.

I, for one, will be welcoming the new tenants with open arms. I am even thinking of bringing them some home-baked goodies.

Rest assured - The family is getting all the help they need. They all have roofs over their heads and are even in nicer accommodation than they were previously. Measures have been taken to prevent its members from causing harm to themselves or others. The very specific needs of each and every family member have been identified and solutions provided. The problem has certainly not been moved on to someone else - absolutely not. Saying that is an insult to both the council's staff who have done a wonderful job and neighbours who have been patient enough to wait until a solution acceptable to everyone was found. The family has not been evicted and are certainly not sleeping in cardboard boxes. Everybody involved - residents and former residents of Whateley Road - are all now much better off.

This is arson and arson is a very serious crime. Why anyone on this forum or elsewhere should think otherwise beggars belief.

Personally I'd prefer a big Carrefour. Cheaper and nicer.

It does not take a genius to spell the word correctly.

My husband's debit card as well as mine were cloned this afternoon. Long story but we believe it was at the HSBC cash point on Lordship Lane. I suggest that if you used this cash point today, you check with your bank that there aren't any suspicious transactions on your account. Big thumbs up for HSBC which cancelled my card immediately.

Agree with James (and not because he always makes me laugh) - Somerfield does not make it in the top 10.

One cannot blame the middle classes for being vocal and trying to send their kids to a decent school. It just beggars belief that the middle classes are blamed for just about everything nowadays. It is not their role to pay huge amount of taxes and shut up about it. If they're clever enough to play the system, why shouldn't they? If the system lets them...

Is that a joke? ::o

Can we get in now? Thanks!

You can dispose of them at Sainsbury's. There's a big recycling centre there for cardboard, glass, plastic and paper.

Mabel, I have been trying to get in touch with you. I sent you a private message a while ago which I can see you have not opened. Can you please have a look? Thanks!

Exactly. The reason why these tenants have not been moved somewhere else is because residents, neighbours are too wimpy to put in complaints with the police and the council. The complaints as I have explained to many of you are anonymous so people are being really really wimpy. I am more than happy to share contact details of officials that people should get in touch with. The police and the council cannot do anything if people do not complain... So get in touch with me via private messaging or shut up and stop whinging.

I am now extremely irritated. Stop whinging and get a grip. There are some proper channels (the police and the council) to complain about these people and this forum is not the place for it. If you want to know what you can do to bring back the peace and quiet on Whateley Road, send me a private message.

I urge anyone who gets insulted and threatened to call the police and Southwark Council's ASBO unit. Only if we speak out will we finally get rid of them and Steve T, shall we put them next to your house since you'll miss them so much?

In a fight, who'd win? The Nancies, the Marias or the Josephs?

It's not degenerate. Confident, territorial cats do not cover up their poos as it is a way for them to show the area belongs to them. Therefore if you put lion dung in your garden, the local cats will think that a great big beast has just moved in. That's the theory at least.

Lion dung available at Dulwich Garden Centre by East Dulwich Train Station.
