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.

    • There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).   
    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
