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.

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
