Hello John k

The above letter we all received through our parent mail from the safer school police . I agree that they've put road instead of avenue but as for the authenticity of the above letter it has come directly from school as a warning .

To me dulwich village is close enough to east dulwich to warrant mine and many other parents to be extra aware of someone who is possiably a danger .

From the Southward News post above:

A Met Police spokesperson told the News: ?Police are looking into an incident where a man approached a four-year-old boy in East Dulwich on November 7 at around 3.30pm.

?The boy was with an adult and officers are making further enquiries.?

Anyone with information that could help the police should call 101



The spokesperson only goes as far as to say "approached". Not sure what that proves, if anything. Probably that without sufficient evidence or other witnesses, Police do not want to categorise this as a crime, prematurely.


There would appear to be a potential disparity between the OP's account/classification of the incident and what the police are willing to say at the moment, for whatever reason.

That sounds as if it's from a notepad


Southwark News also say "attackers"

Well - We have now reached the stage of the thread where the initial OP headline has long ago made its initial impact and warned parents and carers of the serious concern issue.


However, now the dust has settled, there is room for another discussion - and it's important to take on board that what the Met Police have said makes no reference to abduction or attempted abduction. I find that interesting.

Do you mean as opposed to a 'potential' abduction or have I not read something? If you do, it sounds like police speak for not really knowing what the motive was.

What I find weird is that he was described as ? Asian?.

There have been a few other instances across the country when

toddlers have been led away or grabbed one in Sutton and one up north and all were

described as ? Asian? - something needs to be examined there.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      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

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      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
