I have at least 100 pounds to give to a local charity of their choice if spymum and dulwichmum would resolve their differences in a mudwrestle.


Will anyone else support this by pledging cash until it becomes embarassing and irresponsible for the protagonists to turn us down?


I note, with some glee, that Comic Relief is fast approaching - and we could (if supporters felt it a positive move) contact them with regards to getting the film crews down to record this moment for posterity.


We could also put snorky in the stocks, and have an old-fashioned sing song round the joanna.


Go-on, you know it makes sense!!! ;-)

Dulwich Mum! So uncharitable!


If such a gentle exertion in the name of needy local people is beyond you, then what do you suggest as an alternative?


No better way to avoid Lenny Henry than to make ones way (for example) to the cleared back room of the Mag for various sightly pursuits. ::o

Dear Bob,


This is true I fear. Has anyone ever heard of any money from this wonderful charity actually being spent locally? I myself have never heard of a single pound of 'Children in need' or 'Help a London child' money being spent locally, and I might have cause to know about it if it ever was.

BTW DM, that's a rather peculiar observation earlier - it almosts sounds like you're not helping anyone else's kids, just your own - but they hardly seem to need it (apart from a likely later need for therapy)??


You were, of course, offered the chance earlier in the thread to give my pledge to the local charity of your choice if you don't trust anyone else to do it for you? So please, don't use this as an excuse...


HALC are affiliated to Capital Radio, and their terms and application details for grants can be found here http://www.capitalradio.com/Article.asp?id=7024 if you reckon you need some dosh? Maximum request 3,000 quid. They also provide you with details of past donations on request.


Similarly you can find details of CIN donations here http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/whoyouhelp/


If you can find anyone in those lists undeserving of your help then let us know, and we'll expose these terrible organisations for the frauds they are....?

Actually, a charity I do some work recently got money from Children in Need. They work with girls who have experienced violence and abuse across London (including Southwark) and they received a grant towards their work with girls. I also know organsiations who have received Comic Relief funding althought it is very compeititive to get funding from comic relief as they have a huge number of charities applying for grants.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
