Even with the change of title my heart sank on reading this posts title. How incredibly terrifying.


Dulwich Park has a missing children post in it and the Police say it has hugely reduced missing children call outs which must mean a lot less stress for kids and parents. I don't remember seeing this is Peckham Rye.

I'll ask if one can be installed for Peckham Rye park.

Spot on Pickle.

Kidkruger- see attached picture.


Talking to local Police it has significantly helped reduced the problem of missing and lost children. Great for the kids and families. I've only known this feeling of dread once but unforgettable - amazing how long 10 minutes can be in slow motion.

Helpful for the Police as you can imagine the numbers of Police officers taken from other Policing duties when a child goes missing.

Given that your oh so pleased thank you very much comment was 3 days after they were reported well, I don't think it was silly at all. Perhaps you would care to explain why you started a not very nice thread if it wasn't just to start something juicy in the gossip section.

Well, the thread has given me the 'heads up' re the lost children's post. So easy for kids to disapear through a line of bushes and then get disorientated in Dulwich park. I have been onvolved in 2 20 min long searches for free-range explorers! Of course if the kids are having such a great time that they don't realise that they are lost, then thier absence at the post will create yet more fretting.


Chip'n'pin - the only way forward.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
