That's fantastic. I'm a big Martin Carthy fan and of all his family.

On New Years Day I landed on my bonce on the Greenwhich ice rink (my new years resolution had been to 'say yes to adventure/no to middle age') Kings A&E glued me back together, were wonderfully efficient, quick and good humoured after what must be their busiest night of the year.

Thats horrible. Hope you reported it to the police. If you havent, do. My friend was similarly mauled in Brixton a few years back and it went to court, but she could not indentify the accused dog for certain. If you had witnesses you haven't got that problem. If the dog was in the street and not in the owners's secured garden then they should be prosecuted, open and shut case I would have thought.

We live in the bit of Peckham that borders East Dulwich (Bellenden) and moved here from renting in Pimlico in 1999, all a-tremor at the SE15 postcode but have found it friendly, quiet, neighbourly , attractive, convenient and even a bit groovy.

Not yet.I think he probably spent a lot of today at work 'explaining' how he 'lost' their laptop within about an hour of getting it......

That's very reassuring, thanks.

Thanks Mikese22 - he's been onto lost property but I'll pass that detail on.

A longshot I know, but lost property miracles do happen- my hub left his brand new work laptop plus blackberry (in laptop bag) and some badminton shuttlecocks on the 18.08 from London Bridge to Beckenham Junction (is pretty certain it was this train) when he got off at Peckham Rye. Did any kindly soul see him do it and then heroically hand it in at another station or to a conveniently positioned policeman? Thanks.

If its any consolation, from next year Haberdashers will be giving priority to a local underachieving primary to balance things out and effectively that school will become their feeder school, but local means Deptford.

What's more, this pool was built with funds raised by parents of the then Waverley school.

The woman who says she's been locked out has already been recently successfully prosecuted for fraud- the police took statements from all the people she'd tried it on with on our road -we'd been warned by Bellenden Residents round robin email which actually arrived as she was pressing the doorbells.If it is the same woman didnt take her long to come up with a new modus operandi.

I noticed this the other day when parking in Plough Lane. It looked very sweet and mysterious.

Lead was stolen from the roof of St Johns church, Goose Green on Friday night (30th)-but since then some people in possession of a lot of lead have been apprehended.

I got my info from another dog walker in the caff this morning. The victim had told the gardeners, other walkers but at that time, strangely, not the police.

On the dog walking grapevine this morning- Yesterday morning on Peckham Rye two youths attempted to steal a woman's staffordshire bull terrier. Her dog bit them but she was hit and it was kicked in the fracas and they ran off.
