What happened on Bellenden today?

[rendelharris]

I know it's probably a bit prurient, but on the other hand one does like to know what's happening in the neighbourhood, especially in the next street to mine...when I went to Peckham Rye station at 12.30pm, Bellenden was sealed with "Police line do not cross tape" from the junction with Holly Grove down to the Highshore Road roundabout, and when I came back at about 5.45 it was still closed off and still several police officers about (they looked busy so I didn't want to bother them with my nosiness). Anyone know what happened? Nothing in any news I can see.

Oh, that's odd. When I went for a run earlier yesterday (more around 9am)there was police tape outside a building on the stretch beyond the Highshore roundabout, but not the whole road and only one police officer standing guard. I assumed it had been about a break in or something as I think there are small workshops or similar?

Unusual use of the adjective "prurient", RH.

:-) Prurient, having an immoderate or unwholesome interest, especially in sexual matters.

I'm on the left of that especially!

You don't hear the word wholesome/unwholesome much these days, do you? Let's reappropriate it and launch a new movement combining wellbeing, food fads and moral superiority. Oh, hang on, vegans...

Blimey RPC, top shoehorning!

Sorry. Had a double caramel Magnum and it's gone to my head*.

*Backside, more likely.

I don't know how people get their funky smileys on here so you'll have to settle for the old fashioned manual sort :-)

You should include anyone who has any belief system in there whatsoever (all religions, codes of morality etc.) as, by your interpretation, they must be 'morally superior' too.

Oh, you didn't? Because you wanted to take a cheap shot at vegans? Ah, I see.

[Robert Poste's Child]

What, does not eating animal products kill your sense of humour too? Bummer.
