Hi, News of the day man was going to commit suicide in Peckham on the high street,it was blocked of due to the man thretenting to commit suicide he was on top of the building he was going to commit suicide. around 4pm school children were out and had to walk home due to busses not working on diversion as the road was blocked of the nearest shop was Perfect fried chicken near buger king in peckham. I didnt see if he did commit it as there was around 45 police officers and loads of vehicles.


New info :

it was a kid on top of the roof of a barbers shop oppsite the job centre threatening to jump - poor little soul. but is safe as the community wardens say.

ABC, for a period during the latish 70s, the New Musical Express letters page used to get communications from a fellow who called himself Samuel K. Ampong.

His missives were all about 'Beatles Band' and he would lament their demise and compare the groups of the day unfavourably to them.

I assumed he was a satirist and deliberately jolted sense, syntax and grammar to have a bit of crack, a right old giggle and a snicker up the sleeve at everyone's expense.


Come on ABC, admit it, you are the genius behind Samuel K. Ampong.


J'accuse.

OK, but I think in the memory of Samuel K. Ampong, who may or may not be late, let's jump over this thing.

I don't think it's too much to say that at the end of the day it all comes down to a crappy dinner an' a naggin' from the missus.

Seriously, it's the way Samuel K. Ampong would've wanted it.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
