At 11.20 on Friday night, a woman knocked on the door of my house on Barry Road. She was probably late 50s, grey hair, somewhat scruffy but very well spoken. She calmly said that she had been in an accident and needed to use my phone. My girlfriend led her into the living room while I rushed upstairs to get my mobile. When I came back down she had made herself at home and asked whether I could put her up for the night. I said no, and she asked why not. I explained that I don't run a homeless shelter, and offered her my phone to call an ambulance, before quickly realising that there was nothing wrong with her other than a plaster on her finger. I told her I was ringing the police, and she said "go ahead". Finally once she realised I was serious, she got up and left.


has this happened to anyone else in ED?

I know the woman you speak of I think, she often goes into the off-licence/newsagents nexr to The Green on EDR, and she comes up with all sorts of fanciful tales about crashes, people dying you know name it she says it. I think she may well have a mental illness, as i've seen her a lot up at the bus stop by Maudsley Hospital in Camberwell talking to herself.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
