gun shots may or not have been heard somewhere unspecified. But it wasn't a firework, allegedly


Recommended Posts

Is there really any need for this kind of uninformed scaremongering?!


The confirmed crime is bad enough, never mind the 'possible.'


I heard some 'possible' masked raiders terrorising my street last night..... but turns out it was just a guy delivering chinese on a moped.

How do you know it was definitely not a firework?


This time of year is when fireworks go on sale. When lived down the road in Camberwell kids would be letting off bangers from mid September to mid November....

You might as well shut down this forum, and indeed all forums then David. Think of it as if you are down the pub with friends or colleagues, a lot of the conversation won?t be purely based on fact (and how boring would it be if it was!) I can quite easily imagine a conversation where someone says;

?did you hear that bang last night, sounded like a gunshot?

?yeah I heard it too and a helicopter overhead, I wonder what was going on?

?Gang related no doubt?

Brilliant DC - at last the tag lines we've been looking for...


I think they should be promoted as banner headlines for the EDF. But maybe we could get some famous residents to endorse them -


"Absolutely no facts are being discussed here." (That Bloke off Cold Feet)


"No one KNOWS anything." (Jo Brand)


"Utterly pointless." (Andy Coulson)

Kids seem to have changed - all playing PS3 and XBox


Ran round Peckham Rye and there's at least a million conkers lying around.


In my day they'd all be gone.

I DID see the helicopter last night as I walked home from the bus stop at around 9.11 and 30 seconds. It had a little red light underneath it. If that's any help? I didn't hear any gunshot(s) or fireworks though... :))

Gang activity. Sorry I'm late. Traffic. Everyone distracted by some bloody helicopter.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
