Has anyone tried http://babyswimming.co.uk at Herne Hill?

The sub-4 looks amazing but it's a bit much for our price range.

About 6pm this evening a couple of cowardly lads mugged a pregnant woman on the corner of Grove Hill Road and Camberwell Grove. Well done to the fella on his bike who chased them down and took their picture.

Anyone heading home that way might want to take extra care.

-- moved topic --

I'm meeting a friend for coffee or lunch tomorrow and need a venue that her 2 year old can run around in.

Ideally around the Goose Green/Lordship Lane area.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Very pleased to hear the old management are gone, I couldnt stand them.

Sad to hear there wont be regular football any more, that was my only reason for going.

Picked up a purse off the pavement earlier.

Miss D Kenny, we have your bank card and oyster.

Please message to collect.

Anyone know if they've caught the person?

There is someone hiding in the gardens near Sainsburys. There are police at the ends of all the roads nearby.

The mrs is walking by and it's all still closed down around Camberwell and very few buses

I'm not having a go here, just clarifying - the venues requiring a copy of your id do tell you this, as to get in you need a photo id usually your passport or driving licence. They make it quite clear as most people dont take their passports with them on a night out.

Very well put. I wholeheartedly agree.

You do know you dont have to carry a nectar card or use it at sainsburys?

Several Southwark clubs have had this imposed on them already and you are right, a lot of people stay away because of it.

Should you really have to be on a database to go out and enjoy yourself. Perhaps next we should have to swipe into Sainsburys to do our shopping in case we're shoplifters?

This doesnt work btw, its easy enough to pass weapons into a venue via the smoking area.

It is indeed. Its a sad society where the potential consequences of this arent a sufficient deterrent.

The police seem to be keeping the gun part quiet which I dont understand. We asked one of the police by sainsburys about the incident and when I specifically mentioned the shooting was told that as I already knew, yes there was a shooting, whereas all the press appear to know is about the stabbing.

If operation trident are involved, they are the unit that investigates gun related murders in the black communities.

Yes, we shopped there this afternoon.

I might be on my own too :(

Still in Dulwich but the drinks clash with other commitments. However, as its Christmas I thought I would show my face again and see how everyone is :D

I think I might make a return, see you all on Friday :D

This is a trick night clubs pull regularly, and then wonder why everyone urinates in the street making London smell lovely.
