I've just move to ED from Brixton and find the EDF great for news on the area - unfortunately my first contribution is re a mugging outside the front of my flat (corner Woodwarde Rd and Lordship) just after midnight last night where a girl was attempting to rob another girl. I heard the screams and ran downstairs where the melee had moved over outside the Plough - by the time i got there a bus driver had stopped and was holding the attacker while the local vicar called the police.


I know there have been a few mentions of female attackers recently and i'm just wondering if this girl may have been one of that gang. The poor girl who was being attached was covered in blood and only for her screams and concerned passers by may have faired worse.


On a lighter note it was a funny way to meet my new neighbors, coming out of their houses, most "tooled up" ready to help the victim.

There seems to have been quite a bit of trouble around the Plough area this weekend. An attack at costcutter and then this mugging. I also noticed some cops apprehending some kids at the bus stop on Saturday morning. I wonder if they are somehow related or the same group of kids.

    • 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
