Hi all: Thank you for the lively discussion. The thread was written when I was still very annoyed at the dog owner. Generally, though, I have a couple of thoughts: 1) Everyone -- dog-owners and parents, in particular -- need to use the park and the paths responsibly and be conscientious of your surroundings. I am a parent of 3 young children that bumble around, change directions, run-off, etc. In the park, I am not a relaxed parent. I always have my eyes on my children and am capable of quickly reacting to ensure that they do not get hurt or injured. That is just being a responsible parent. I don't concentrate on legal liability or whose "fault" it would be if my children were to get injured. I think dog owners should exercise the same responsibility -- some do, but many don't. This was just one incident. I also can't describe how many times we have been picnicking or simply enjoying a quiet moment on the grass when some dog comes running over to us and scares the kids, with the dog owner some 50 feet away. My view is that if you can't control your dog in light of your surroundings, then you aren't being a responsible dog owner. 2) Given how busy the park is, especially when its nice out, there should be clearly designated areas for dogs where they can be off the lead. These areas should not be on the path. I don't know how many of you have been to New York, but there are a number of parks in NY with fenced-in dog play areas, which to me seems a wonderful idea. I say all of this as someone who loves dogs. I grew up with dogs, having had 3 of them when I was younger and would love to have a dog here -- if it weren't for being in a big city (and for having a toddler). Having had a dog, I know that (i) they bite (I have a scar on my arm to prove it) and (ii) they act like little children. The reason for the title of the thread is because, as a dog owner, I am sure you would be devastated if your dog were to be injured because of some silly accident, because you, as the dog owner, weren't exercising enough control. Best, LD

I was biking in Dulwich Park today with my six year old daughter. Two dogs we rough playing,running across the path very quickly and suddenly one jumped up and flew into my daughter. My daughter was fine, but I am sure the dog is injured. Had it been me the dog flew into, it probably would have been run over and crushed. I don?t want to start a full chat on here between dog lovers and dog haters nor do I want to have a discussion about the merits of dog walking versus cycling in the park. If you care about your dog and don?t want it to get injured or killed, either take it off the path or put it on a leash. It will be your fault if it gets hurt.

Hello, I am looking for a piano teacher who would be willing to teach my 5 year old as a beginner. It would be optimal for lessons to be at my house in SE22 and last for 30 min. Lessons would need to be on Thursday or Friday between 4pm and 6pm. Please PM me if you are interested or if you have any suggestions for potential teachers. Many thanks, LD

There looked like there was a really bad accident with a bus on East Dulwich Road by Tescos today. Anyone know what happened?

I am pretty sure that not all snails are edible, and, at least in some regions, certain snails are protected species. I don't see what is disgusting about them. Its no different than eating shellfish (Moxon's has pretty tasty sea snails). I wouldn't cook snails at home; so, I am glad its on the menu. Anyways, I ate at La Bonne Bouffe a few Sunday's ago and I thought it was a welcome addition to the restaurants in ED. Very nice local restaurant.

We just got this message from our local primary: Southwark's Safeguarding Co-ordinator has informed us of an incident that occurred this morning on Elsie Road near Goose Green Primary School, where a man got out of a car and tried to pull a Year 6 girl by the sleeve of her cardigan. She ran to school and the police have been informed. Please be vigilant and protect the children of our community.

Hi, the flue for my boiler looks like a periscope in the front of my house. I would like to move the flue so that the piping leads out below the bay window rather than straight up next to the door. My question is whether building regs would permit this. I'd appreciate a specific citation of the applicable regs to I can research it a bit myself. Also, if you are gas-certified and willing to move the piping (plus change the colour of the piping from grey to black), please PM me. best regards, LD929

Virgin has been down for three to four hours tonight. Customer service said over 300 people have been affected. Anyone else experiencing issues?

I am looking for someone to rebuild my front garden area (new brick wall, iron fencing and gate). Any recommendations?

And, I think a lot of people agree with you Alan http://www.libdemvoice.org/good-news-a-big-liberal-democrat-byelection-gain-from-the-tories-in-surrey-51158.html @???? -- I agree Labour won't have it in their manifesto, but why shouldn't they? a significant majority of Labour voters voted to stay in the EU and still want to. The Tories still have no clue what they are going to do with Brexit even after cleaning house. Just wait for the recession to hit and then you might hear a lot more about "Bregret". And, it you don't think a recession is coming, just wait... http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/be5b7824-48eb-11e6-b387-64ab0a67014c.html#axzz4EIM163dJ http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jul/12/brexit-could-take-up-to-six-years-to-complete-says-philip-hammond http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/27d7b066-447c-11e6-b22f-79eb4891c97d.html#axzz4EIM163dJ I think the political mood, particularly over Brexit, will change a lot in the next few months. By the end of the summer, we'll begin to see how much Brexit takes a toll on the economy.

They are on Langton Rise between Wood Vale and Westwood Park.

Thanks Nxjen. Glad to see that she has taken that position.
