Yup, she is GOOD at this. Mind you, she's had years of practise! She's probably loaded, frankly. And yes, she does look the part. Sober, smiley, apparently embarrassed... Of course you think you might be being scammed, you also think, 'what if she's in trouble...' and that little bit of doubt and human kindness is exactly what she exploits.

It depends what your aim is.


Taking a photograph will be good evidence of that person's having been on your doorstep, and might also be useful to the police in making an identification.


But if it's a prosecution that's wanted, it could well be that the evidence of more than one victim is needed. If that were the case, publishing a photograph here would probably scupper the value of any other person's subsequent assertion that they'd been done by the same perpetrator. It is not even certain that there is just one.


It would also be the case that any photograph published here would most probably amount to a serious defamation. Defending any libel action can be very expensive and stressful, and not necessarily successful.


And then there's the possibility of actual harm done to the person by the publication. You might want to argue that, however it pans out, it's all they deserve. You might still find it regrettable if it turned out that you'd made a mistake about their honesty.

if this is the same woman who used to pretend to get locked of of her house(''round the corner'') and needing to pay a locksmith before he could access her house, she hit nutbrook street two years ago and was prosecuted for fraud as a result. Seems she's back with a different tale. What a cheek. Tell the police neighbourhood team she's back- they know where she lives.

Is...


Is this the same woman asking for money for her child's sponsorship form? Identity sounds the same. She's not aggressive however she is quite persistent in her conviction. Sometimes she has children with her.... The school sponsorship form was for a local primary so I gave them a call and they were aware of her activities but said she wasn't a parent and they didn't know who she was. (Mrs W**F gave her the "cold jug" as it were at the door so she never came back here funnily enough)


A neighbor also got an early morning knock at the door (6.30am) asking for ?50, she was crying, saying she couldn't heat the house because her electricity meter had run out and her baby was hungry and cold.


Another sucked in punter sadly....?

What would your advice be, Judge woof? Perhaps she could be locked up and the key thrown away? Perhaps hanging's too good for her? Would you say it's indicative of the broken society we live in?

Yeah...



I think I have an idea who this might be (indirectly)


She treats it as her "job" I'm told



(and yes, drugs are the main driving force)



It's not for me to judge her, plus I don't go in for silly knee jerk justice


But she is taking money by deception

This lady knocked on my door today, 24 June 2010. Mcdowall rd se5.

She is black, tall, slim and smart. She was very embarassed to be disturbing you, almost crying and in need of money for the electric meter. She said her name was Lisa and she lived a few doors down across the rd. She was totally believable and asked for ?22. Lots of eye contact and apologetic.

A great performance, a pro con artist.


She will get caught one day.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
