I hear they have been dressing as clowns

Is this thread as long as the one about the Mind shop yet?

I live in South Stoke Newington. Which is Peckham.

I think she was in a domestic violence situation and had some kind of breakdown. She lived at the other end of my road though I didnt know it till that incident. I'd see her from time to time after that (clothed) in the street but she didnt give any sign of recognition so I didnt engage her. She was completley zombified at the time of the naked incidnet and I thought she had been attacked. I believe she's moved now.

Peckham Rye I believe is the correct area identification for address even though its not Peckham Rye.

a naked woman once wandered our road and she was clearly mentally ill. We covered her up with an eiderdown and called an ambulance. It was very sad. She had a small boy with her. I never saw that eiderdown again.

Look on the bright side. Perhaps the people who own the house are the same property developers who have bought the flat next door to my house, erected what we experience on our side as a seven foot fence and turned the light out in our sunny south facing garden in the twinkling of an eye while erecting whatever they want behind it. Now that would be karma.

its not like stealing a car though is it. Theyre not going to sell it on. Its more borrowing.And I mean that as an analogy by the way.

I think back to the early eightees- Bonnington Square, Hubert Grove, Mildmay Grove, Engelfield Road N1,Victoria Parks Cadogan Terrace (a lesbian separatist squat that one)- all empty council properties that would have been demolished if it hadnt been for the squatters sitting it out until councils had a change in aesthetic values.For councils it was cheaper to rebuild than conserve. I had friends living and squatting in incredibly derelict slug-ridden properties. The houses survived because of them and those roads are now preserved and genteel mostly private victorian terraces instead of rat runs and high rises that the council wanted to replace them with. Alas they could not save the beautiful old and huge houses on the site of the now yuk Angel Estate in Brixton which could have provided much social housing in themselves, nor Coronations Buildings the site of M15. Our loss. Different from the GGTs maybe, as this house has a future and an interested owner, and it seems rather opportunistically motivated - rather than direct conciousness raising action in the belief property is theft, development rides on the back of blah blah blah . Nevertheless please don't forget squatting has a radical and useful place in British history that has often been regenerating and creative..

Couldnt spot which one it is. Is it the Dulwich Baths/fusion centre? about time.

Exposing the old station, as other have said, renovating and using the amazing original billiard room, opening up a square around the station.

could this be connected to the jogger molesting a woman near the harvester a few weeks back, as reported on the edf?

if this is the same woman who used to pretend to get locked of of her house(''round the corner'') and needing to pay a locksmith before he could access her house, she hit nutbrook street two years ago and was prosecuted for fraud as a result. Seems she's back with a different tale. What a cheek. Tell the police neighbourhood team she's back- they know where she lives.

could you inspect the bike for sale and then if it's yours, tell the police?

''crew of Pecknarm yoot dem? ''eh, please don't bring Peckham into this. THis happened in East Dulwich. We, touch wood, seem to be having a peacable time of it over here across the ditch.

I think you may have a case against the delivery company. If nobody signed for them and they just left them there it could well be their negligence. If they neglected to ring bell/get someone to sign, maybe they neglected to deliver them at all/left them at wrong address.

yes the south circular is down around forest hill, fatal accident near forest hill station. All traffic up lordship lane top is being turned back down north again.

Its lovely you've been so supportive to her. Support her now. If you can face it, take her some treats/cakes/nice wine- you and your friend together- and have a little get together with her. So her last experience on earth is being amongst people who care about her, having a nice time, and having a chance to share things on her mind- sounds like she wouldnt have anyone else to share it with, and this is important- maybe memories, maybe stories. You could take her some nice things for her washbag, so she will feel cared for and remembered when she opens it the other end.

sometimes which bit you end up in is dictated by finding the house/flat you can imagine yourself in at the right price at ther right time.

the trust would be abused if the job was being abused, not if the earnings were. If I am a surgeon and I operate drunk I am abusing my position. If I operate sober, but then go home and spend my vast salary on a bottle of cliquo de splendido, to enjoy in my lesiure, that is up to me.

Private schools have charitable status, but giving them your money is not a donation- its a fee.

Jeremy- they are not charitable donations. You are buying a product (the big issue) and they are selling it.

Remember definition of homelessness does not mean necessarily living rough out in the open. and also Big Issue selling is a way back into independence; it's selling a mag from which they get to keep some of the profit, its not begging and so really, what they do with their earnings is up to them.

Peckham Pentangle/Bellenden Beatitude.

and Peckham Rye is going to be on the tube which will change everything.
