Just_Moved_In

The Simon Community (http://www.simoncommunity.org.uk/), helping out London's homeless people, are always looking for volunteers. They are based in Kentish Town, but are flexible enough to find something for you to do anywhere in London. Eg I volunteer for them in the Waterloo area every week. Contact them or PM me for more details if you'd like to know more.

"mainly due to it's proximity to other areas" is exactly what the policeman said to us last night.

When/where is the next forum drink up? I wasn't aware of it.

She's ok, we're both a bit shocked and are wandering what exactly we are supposed to do if we can't even walk 5 minutes from the bus stop without something happening.

She didn't see much of the guy, all she remembers that he was quite tall with pale skin. Our neighbour saw him better - if I find out a better description, I'll post that too.

I just wanted to let you all know that my flatmate was attacked last night at about 9pm on our street very close to Lordship Lane and Whately Road (where the Police Station is...).

A guy suddenly appeared from behind her and tried to grab her bag. He pulled her to the ground and dragged her to the road. Her screaming alerted the neighbours and the guy ran off (without her bag).

The police said that there are a lot of robberies in East Dulwich, mainly due to it's proximity to other areas.

So take as much care as possible and watch out!
