I think that when you critise the area where people live the way that you did, then you will get a bit of an argument.


I've also lived in the area for over 20 years and have never had a problem nor has anyone that I know, very lucky indeed.

I apologise if you thought I was being serious, and I am sorry you do not like the area.

Many of us do, and have no problem with it. It is terribly sad when violence breaks out but it is not a common occurrence and when it happens it is also a product of poverty / poor education / ignorance. So it's a class issue.

And read any history book of London and mostly you'll see any similar situations in poorer areas.

But I have lived here 26 years and walk down Rye Lane regularly.


Again, I was kidding when I joked I would thump you. I don't know you but felt your post rather provocative and antagonistic. Best wishes, Peckham Rose x

Thewinglessxbird, how can you make sweeping generalisations about an area that people live and feel loyalty to, without expecting an argument. You have a very strange attitude for someone living in an urban area and if you do ever feel that you are targetted in some way when walking in 'scary' areas, it may well be your attitude that attracts that kind of unwanted attention.


I go to Peckham almost every day and have never been harrassed, molested, attacked, mugged etc, and unless you are a youth, or your attitude stinks, then you are very unlikely to have any of these things happen to you either.

Out of boredom and mild curiosity I ran those searches again via MS Live using the 'show all' and 'UK only' options:


Search string Google Live (all) Live (UK only)

> Peckham stabbing 15,800 16,300 6,290

> Clapham stabbing 218,000 19,500 7,290

> Brixton stabbing 23,500 41,500 7,130

> Islington stabbing 14,000 29,800 18,200

> Westminster stabbing 149,000 187,000 28,900

> Chelsea stabbing 180,000 264,000 57,600


The figures for Chelsea might be skewed because of extra news coverage of football hooliganism.

Westminster and Chelsea also because other places overseas share the same name (that Live hasn't properly categorised, perhaps).

Clapham looks like a search anomaly restricted to Google.

As for Islington, well, it is a pretty rough area - but almost as bad as Brixton, Peckham and Clapham put together - not sure about that.

But Hal....surely you realise that the numbers you quote bear no relation to content.

So for instance a sentence stating "The number of stabbings in Peckham has significantly fallen in the last decade" would feature in your results.


You can put any number of ludicrous suggestions into google and get results - hardly conclusive proof of anything.

Exactly!


Hal - it means nothing. In fact it says peckham has the least number of stabbings according to your theory of google no. Of hits


We're not sure what point you're trying to make here?


Surely if a stabbing in a very wealthy, well-to-do area, was a huge shock more papers would write about it and there'd be a huge no. Of hits?

Sorry mate but you did offend me and so that post has been taken off.

You have not responded in kind to my private message as requested.


Meanwhile, I hope those two girls who attacked each other grow and learn from this awful experience.

Islington as a borough is a much larger area than smart Upper Street and takes in Archway, Hackney borders, some of Kings Cross, Holloway, Finsbury Park so I'm not surprised that it comes up more stabby in statistics. Finsbury Park always scared the beejesus out of me.

hilarious


'Hits on Google' is meaningless. Please stop justifying areas of london


Saila's post was a joke to illustrate that it doesn't mean anything


E.G. google 'Tsunami London' - Over 12m hits

now google 'Tsunami Sri Lanka' - just 2.4m hits..


Does that mean London has had more Tsunamis than Sri Lanka?

In all fairness, a proper Google search (with the search string in double quotes) does yield a more sensible result (meaningless as it still is):


> "Tsunami London" - 672

> "Tsunami Sri Lanka" - 6,510

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
