  1. Unsurprising. Dire campaign. All I heard from Khan in London is to vote for him to keep the tories out. Uninspiring, and annoying. I?m Labour, I voted Green.
  2. See article here: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/beckenham-child-abduction-attempt-b933470.html
  3. My daughter?s behaviour is absolutely unmanageable when she uses tablets and phones so we limit usage. But if your son is fine - and provided he gets enough exercise and reading time - then it?s probably fine. It?s all a question of balance really.
  4. Brixtwich, nonsense! I see cars speeding and driving dangerously every single day. Drivers are NOT accountable as there?s never anybody to catch them and challenge the behaviour.
  5. Not complicated but I?ve contacted schools twice on similar issues and never got a reply.
  6. I had a near miss with a 16-year-old on an electric scooter. I meant to write a post similar to yours but thought the parents probably wouldn?t care. Perhaps I?m wrong but why would you let your kid go on one of those?
  7. I cross Lordship Lane at the bottom of Whateley Road to get onto Melbourne Grove. Easy for an adult. How old are the children and would they be accompanied?
  8. Oh wow. I?m amazed and really wish I?d seen it. I wonder if they?re allowed to roam or if it escaped or was indeed abandoned?
  9. Oh my goodness. Poor Jane. We will be contributing. Thank you, Xanadustar, for bringing this to our attention.
  10. Ofsted reports are only meaningful when they are recent. Eliot Bank?s dates back to 2010. I?ve pm?d you.
  11. We just made the move to private for secondary, mainly as our daughter had been so unhappy in her very big primary school. We thought we needed to try something else. So far, so very good. For me it wasn?t about the facilities, it was more about the size of the school, level of noise, small class sizes... it?s perhaps unusual but thought I?d share my experience.
  12. Bobbly, last time I asked for an ambulance for someone who was behaving strangely (mental health / potentially drug induced) and putting his life at risk by walking too close to cars on a busy road, 999 was really short with me and told me they can?t just follow people around...
  13. Is this the guy who cycles carrying a big stick (window cleaning equipment)? I?m concerned about him as well as the harm he could potentially do to others. He can be very aggressive but responded well when my husband told him recently he should go home as it was about to rain. He?s obviously in need of medical care. I?ll call 999 next time.
  14. We dropped off at Ducks from East Dulwich for a year. Husband could never get to work on time as the roads are so congested. We then moved her to the school opposite our house for reception and it changed our lives.
  15. Please call Celia Hammond. 020 8691 2100 or 020 7474 8811. Thank you for looking out for this lovely little thing!
  16. Sorry to hear. Was there no-one around to help and challenge the behaviour?
  17. Hihi - i had a long chat last year with the Charter North admissions officer who explained that they use the September post-shakedown figure because the initial March catchment is so small and not representative of the true furthest place allocated etc... But perhaps they?ve changed how they do things.
  18. NorthDulMum, the distance Charter states on its website is the furthest place allocated as of September. The March distance will be much smaller.
  19. Sorry to hear, Richard. It looks like if you want your views to be listened to these days, you have to move to Dulwich Village.
  20. Chris, would you say you?re pretty quiet? If so, try making more noise...
  21. Please protect your mum and take her to be vaccinated.
  22. Personally if either customers or staff don?t wear masks, I just go somewhere else. We?re a year into the pandemic, I?m not going to have a discussion with a store manager about the necessity of masks at this stage, especially if they?re not wearing a mask themselves.
  23. My daughter?s loved working with Caroline Perret, who combines high expectations with a sunny personality. /forum/read.php?25,2093691,2093691#msg-2093691
