Just want to say thank you to the lady who stood at the end of Hindmans Rd this evening when I was frantically searching for my runaway 4 year old. In the heat of the moment (being said son's return after legging it completely around the block - including running up Barry Rd) I did not get a chance to thank you for looking out for him.


The police have now visited him and given him a good talking to. Fingers crossed he won't do it again to "look at the cars"!

I did exactly the same at that age and it was a sort of bravado of showing off to my mother how fast I could run,


and then she taught me what the back of her hand felt like.


She was distraught, and furious at the possibility of being seen as an unfit mother.


I never did it again as I was fiercely against capital punishment when administered upon me.

Probably a good thing I didn't give him a hiding. The police turned up 10 minutes later although they knew he had returned. Apparently it is standard practice to follow up on missing children calls. The police man gave him a brilliant talking to!

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
