On Friday night a lady had her bag snatched whilst she waited at the bus stop on East Dulwich Road. She came into the restaurant to use our phone as we were leaving - about 1am - I didn't think to get her name, so was wondering whether anyone knows her, whether she is ok, and whether the police managed to catch the guy and get her things back. They were pretty amazing actually, plain clothed officers arrived about 4 minutes after she called, and were on the hunt for the culprit.


The guy ran off as fast as he could in the direction of the church in case anyone saw anything.

Fingers crossed!

She was very shaken up by it, but there was no violence involved i don't think. She seemed to think it was an oportunist who took advantage of the fact that she felt safe at a bus stop right on a fairly busy road.

It was me! I am fine thank you. The police were fantastic, but unfortunately we didn't catch the guy. No violence (thankfully), he just swiped the bag and ran. Ironic really as I thought I was safer waiting for the bus, in a 'safe' and well-lit area, rather than walking home.. who knows what to do for the best?! Police thought he may have been waiting in the gardens behind the bus stop.


I'm really grateful to the staff at Locale Restaurant for helping me out. Also, many thanks to the man who came to my rescue just after the thief ran - much appreciated.


Advice.. remove anything from your handbag that has your address on it (it saves paying a locksmith!) and learn a few friends' mobile numbers off by heart!

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
