Thanks for your lovely messages, I am feeling OK thanks. I don't have much of value, I now have nothing and I will miss my jewellery as it was sentimental to me. Let's keep our eyes open and hope we can stop some of our neighbours going through the same.

I had my front door pushed in and my jewellery cash camera etc taken. It seems to be a common theme - we need as neighbours to look out for each other. There is obviously a lot of scum about in this area which is a shame. I feel so violated, I am living on my own in a ground floor flat on a road I thought was alright, until my neighbour showed me photos of her face having been attached on Oakhurst Grove, and now this, I feel so unsafe. The police did not even hang around to see if I was OK when I got in, if they had I could have shown them other places to fingerprint, could have told them they bastards had taken a side access key. Let's be aware that this is taking place in broad daylight and try and stop it happening. I dont want others to go through this, make sure you have contents insurance, I dont unfortunately.

I was broken into yesterday on Oakhurst Grove, they smashed my front door in. My lovely jewellery, camera, holiday photos included, cash - gone. My granddad's tie pin, all I had to remind me of him other than my memories. Disgusted. Scum.

My flat was broken in to yesterday, Oakhurst Grove - as neighbours let's keep our eyes and ears open and catch the scum that are basically ripping on East Dulwich right now. We need bettter police presense.

I was burgled yesterday, lunchtime, on Oakhurst Grove - cash my jewellary and cameras and laptops, I am disgusted - what is going on here, why are there not more police about - I keep reading about this happening in ED. Why on earth I did not think to get contents insurance, I got a quote a month ago but had not followed up. They now have a key to my side access, hopefully my landlord is going to sort this all out but being that he did not listen when I first said our communal door was not secure enough, I have my doubts. As neighbours, we must keep our eyes open and try and prevent this from happening to many others. My jewellery will be in some pawn shop funding someones drug habit no doubt. Words dont go far enough to express my disgust at these people, if you steal you derserve your hands being cut off.

I would do anything to get rid of that Co Op as quite frankly it's the worse supermarket I have ever been in. The meat and fish selection is quite disgusting usually and the staff unhelpful. Bring on Waitrose when the service is fabulous all of the time.

Front page of the Metro today, check out the online version if you missed it... Can someone explain to me how companies get away with not paying taxes by using overseas tax havens? It seems obvious to cut down on the amount companies can "hide" so why does it not happen?!

personally i think the market is lovely and complements the local shops. healthy competition is good, it keeps everyone on their toes to keep supplying quality goods. Broadway Market in east london is an old haunt of mine - is much bigger and is always packed out on a Saturday. This means the pubs along the road do well and generally the area is busy and more people get to know about it as a nice area. This means more people come, demand goes up and we can see more individual shops open. My old home town has seen most of the local shops close and the high st is almost a ghost town - people shop out of town and have no reason to go into town, very sad. I think anything that encourages people to an area, to get out and about, talk to locals, visit local pubs, restaturants, browse and buy from the stall is a good thing. I think we should encourage it - i would rather buy good local produce than spend my hard earned money in sainsbury!

noooooo! so i have to go with virgin?? or can i not get an aerial into the property? it cannot be that hard, surely? Does virgin now have a basic freeview box?

This is all great... So far I have taken in various suggestions and also discovered the No 37 bus which is great for the Ritzy in Brixton etc - altho I found it pretty expensive at over ?10 a film ticket and ?4 for 2 small bottles of water! No wonder I am always skint!

That is so scary, I have just moved onto Oakhurst Grove into a rented flat and thought the area was really safe. What a shame. Luckily my neighbour doesn't work and is home a lot of the time. It's good to be vigilent, I will keep my eyes open, there are some nasty people out there.

Hello OK, here is the issue...I have a Virgin line coming into the flat, apparently. I do not want to go with Virgin, I want to buy a Freeview box. Can I use the line already coming in to the flat to connect the Freeview box to the TV? I am so confused! It does not seem to be a standard TV ariel! Can anyone help!

Hello!
