Absolutely, I fear the youths of today faces a bleak future. I wouldn't blame labour for this as some of their policies were about social inclusion. Can't say that about the Tories though.

I think there's a link between stock markets crashing and kids rioting in London. Its heard behavior. There's some sort of zeitgeisty bubble bursting. Its like a big stampede of hoodie cows, or stock market trader cows, running us off the cliff for no logical reason any of us can really get hold of. I just hope I can get out of the way.

I live on Lordship Lane - but decided to leave my flat as soon as the trouble started. I'm staying with my parents in Cambridgeshire right now. Can anyone tell me what the current situation on Lordship Lane is? I am seriously worried about my flat (northern end of Lordship Lane). Thanks.

Extraordinary. Why did you leave?

Cuts to EMA will not affect the poor. Tuition fees haven't kicked in and have been woefully misreported - kids think they have to write a cheque for ?9,000 to go to university. And lack of employment opportunities has been the case for years.


13 years of Labour's social inclusion policies clearly have not succeeded.

EMA? We have to pay these scum to go to education?


Fees increase? Despite Blairs mad ideas - it's not a god given right to go to Uni.


Employment? Maybe...however I have spoken with my Dad tonight. He's been unemployed for 3 years and yet can't quite see the justification to steal and burn other peoples property. He's strange like that.

Lordship Lane is quiet at the moment. No trouble or damage at the northern end.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      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

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      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.
