Just wanted to say I have visited Sharon at Bloomers this morning and she was fantastic. I thoroughly recommend anyone looking for a fitting and new bras to go to see her. Best bra buying experience I have ever had.

Check out the new Mamas and Papas Armadillo range. It's selling point is that it folds flat, without removing the seat and can all be done with one hand - I think! There are 4 different ones in the range, that increase in price.

Sorry for your experience too KateFord. Awful. Thank you to you both for taking the time to alert us.

That's awful Bailey84. Hope you're OK. I live very near there and the place you describe is a funny little stretch of road. It's very dark for some reason on that side, and gets a bit narrow in parts. I have often made the point of staying on the other side when walking in the dark along there. Do report him (you may well have done already) as it is very true that these types of attacks often spur them on to do others and to go further. But don't stop running and enjoying being outdoors despite your very horrible experience.

I'm not going to argue with you KidKruger because it's pointless. I have no idea how my view is twisted and yours, in which you appear to be trying to put into some sort of perspective, the actions of a man with a sexual interest in children, is not. > If the Reverend looked at such images then he > contributed to exploitation of children. > If he did not physically abuse children himself > but did extract excitement from the images he > viewed then presumably he had made a conscious > decision to either limit his interest or maintain > the care of those he came into contact with. > I don't know all the facts, as most of us surely > don't. Of course there is potential for more to > come to light, as in any such case, but let's hope > for no physical abuse of individuals before > listing the damage done to them. The connotation I took from your comments above is that him viewing child abuse is somehow not as bad as him physically abusing children. I am sure you will tell me that that is not what you're saying but it does come across strongly that way and I happen to disagree.

Now it's being suggested we're to congratulate this guy for 'limiting' his perversions to only watching the abuse of children, perhaps what, in a bid to make sure he didn't act out his fantasies on any real children? You seem to be missing the point KidKruger that the children in the films he had been accessing are real children, sexually abused and filmed for the pleasure of people like him. For goodness sake what on earth is wrong with you all? Would his defence have been 'oh but I didn't touch anyone, I just watched.' I know it can seem that many of the comments here are over emotional but it is an emotive subject when someone so central to a community and loved by so many is discovered to have had a dark side which most would be repulsed and devastated by. It's not a subject most will just shrug their shoulders over. Those of you who feel the need to bring measure, I understand where you're coming from but it is maddening when you try to defend the indefensible.

I am utterly shocked at those of you trying to push his actions aside as 'personal Issues'. You think the impulse to view children being abused is merely a 'personal issue'? I'm not sure you understand what he was doing?? He knew it was wrong, so wrong in fact he appears to have killed himself. I'm too angry and disgusted to write a coherent response but admin, yes, perhaps this thread should be removed as, if it is offensive to anyone, it is offensive to victims of child sex abuse and others affected by it.

Totally agree Penguin68 and I appreciate he does not seem to have been accused of harming any children himself (though viewing them being harmed is no better). I am sure no children at the school or in the local area were at risk. However, I am still glad he is now out of the area- though I would not necessarily wish anyone dead and the whole situation is sad.

I too wonder why so many have been anxious to keep this quiet. But colville09 your statement below is utterly ridiculous and frankly worrying. I am glad that the mail has reported this, in (albeit an uncharacteristically) measured way. This man seemingly enjoyed watching videos of children being abused. Until this was published I felt very very sad that this man had been driven to kill himself and wondered what it could possibly be that was so bad. Now, honestly, I am very glad that my son, who will most likely be attending St John's and St Clements from September, will not be exposed to him. It makes my blood run cold to think of it. ------------------------------------------------------- > I only had a brief contact with the Rev but he > obviously was loved by his parishioners.

Hello! I am expecting my second - due July 14. I'd love to meet up. I have a son of four who will be starting school the Sep after baby is born and it'd be nice to meet new people with newborns again! X

Great! Thank you...looking forward to checking those out.

Does anyone know of any creative writing groups or similar in ED or nearby?

Big recommendation for My Favourite Nursery. My son has been there since 10 months and is now 4. It's a lovely nursery.

I'd be very interested to hear the thoughts of parents with children at the school on this one too. I too was very impressed by the current head and and as a very possible future parent of a child at the school it would be good to hear how others feel about things going forward?

I have hired the Goose Green centre. It's worked out at something like ?102 for 2.5 hours and that's with use of the kitchen. They have a decent website with costs etc.

Hello all, Forgive me - it's been a while since I posted but I wondered if I might be able to pick your brains and just get a few views (bit of reassurance!) from those who have had experience of the copper coil. Did anyone who has had it removed find that their first period afterwards was very late? Can anybody tell me if their periods took a bit of time to settle again - despite the fact that most Doctors say they shouldn't be affected and that things should generally go back to normal straight away. I have had mine removed only very recently so no big panic at the mo but I am experiencing an unusual cycle and thought maybe some thoughts from others who have been in the same boat would really help! Thank you! x

thank you Jagger.

Just to say a big thank you to the lovely ladies and the man who a stopped to help me when I passed out on north cross road today. In particular the two ladies who walked me to DMC. I was really shaken and one of you did tell me your name but I forget, sorry! The doctor at DMC was rather useless unfortunately and I ended up walking home only to have to call 111 and have an ambulance sent. Thankfully the staff at Kings were amazing and I'm back home tonight - I really, really appreciated the help I was given in the street- thanks for being lovely people. X

Hi, There's a thread here on this: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,1313340,1314704#msg-1314704 But just to say my son has been there since he was 10 months and is now 3 and a half and loves it. We have been very, very happy with the nursery and he has developed brilliantly. Just last night he told me he wants to go there forever and ever. He loves it.

I know the group you mean and though most of them seem fine and they just hang around quietly chatting (sort of) I did have to confront three of them recently for really obscene conversation they were having right next to me while I pushed my 3-year-old son on the large, round swing. Two boys were having sexually explicit conversations with, or rather AT, one of the girls and trying to encourage her to say stuff about blow jobs and similar to them. I was fuming! I'm no prude, but clearly I don't want my son to hear that. Also, I was just really uspet that these boys were speaking like that to her. I hope it's not something she has to put up with a lot and I hope they grow out of their adolescent behaviour towards women. There was something very persistent as they nagged at her to say the words they wanted her to. Anyway I asked them to move if they wanted to talk like that and they ignored me. I asked again, more sternly two mins later and they sloped off. I must add though that I hung around in parks/playgrounds as a teen and this is just what they do. It's the same everywhere of course and I'm not even entirely sure that extra stuff for them to do would keep them away anyway. They don't always want organised, essentially adult led activity or spaces, they simply want to do their own thing.

Ha, really? The guy I spoke to wouldn't have been able to be bothered to lift one to his lips I don't think.

Hi all, Does anyone use the Hamlets health, or what is now Victus health club? I know it changed hands recently and I have been trying really hard to find out about classes etc there but it's impossible. I've called, got a sullen bloke on the phone who had no idea about anything and told me to come down and 'look at the board for info'. So, I did and was met by possibly the same guy (was different day) who still had no info, pointed me around recepetion looking for non existent leaflets, then sent me upstairs to ask the trainers about anything and everything I wanted to know. Trainers upstairs were very pleasant and one took my email and promsied to contact me about classes but hasn't. I've emailed via their website and still heard nothing! What's going on there and does anyone have a contact there who might actually know? Thanks in advance!

GREAT nursery. My son been there sinc he was 10 months and he's now just over 3. He's very very happy there. Loves all his friends and staff and his happiness at being there has kept me sane through working full time!

I've just come across this thread and I'm pretty sure I saw this woman on Sat in Peckham. I happened to notice a lady dash towards a man and look as though she was begging . She looked like she may be homeless as she was extremely dirty and generally looking a bit down in her luck. Anyway , he tried to walk away and I could have sworn She tried to show him her breast , but thought I must have got it wrong. Now I'm thinking that sadly, it must have been this same woman. I desperately hope she does not have a child depending on her somewhere.

Apologies, I know there must be threads on this already but search not working for me at the mo for some reason. I'm about to change jobs and lose my amazing ?5 per month gym membership, so am thinking of joining a new one close to home. Is there anywhere local that does indoor cycling classes and can anyone recommend a gym In general? I've been using a lovely, friendly fitness first for a while and really value a gym whee the staff are happy and friendly and really make you feel like you want to go there instead of avoid the place!
