Just a heads up - a house in Underhill Road was burgled (door kicked-in) at about 5:30 on Saturday afternoon. The police were called almost immediately (within 2 minutes of the sound of the door being kicked in) but missed the robbers by about 2 minutes - apparently they had been held up during a demonstration (or something) in Peckham. The police were given a description of two of the robbers (apparently there was a third in a car, which was also described to the police). The two described were IC3 males in (at best) early 20s. Possibly younger. The house was empty (nobody in, not un-lived-in) at the time.
Two people were seen running to get into a car (small saloon/ hatchback and dark) at the time of the burglary, by a separate witness to the burglary. The description and registration details were given to the police at the time. There is supposition, but no proof, that the burglars and the people who jumped into the car were the same people. Again, the use of a police descriptor (IC3) was used as that descriptor is used to say what the observer believed the ethnicity of the individual was (what they looked like to the observer)- which is not (necessarily) the same as the ethnicity which would be claimed by the person observed. I'm not sure (considering the police have the actual registration number) why the car description would be additionally useful on these pages.

    • 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
    • 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
