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.

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
