I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the people that helped me this morning after my car was rear ended by a double decker bus outside Kings. Thank you Emily that asked if myself and our three kids were ok, helped me get the buggy out the back of the car even though there was smashed glass everywhere and was generally lovely and reassuring. Thank you to the ladies that held my 2 year olds hand while I spoke to the police and reassured the other two, to Viv my neighbour who happened to be on the bus behind that took my kids to A&E to be checked over. Thank you to those people that stroked my dog that took most of the impact of the accident and helped get her out without her being harmed, her being in the booth with a million smashed shards of glass. Thank you to the doctors and nurses on the pavement that patiently waited while I worked out what I was doing and asked if we were ok and thank you to the people that gave me their details as witnesses.


Although a stressful incident, unimagined as we set out to drive to Devon and see my family, I was overwhelmed by the care, selflessness and general kindness shown by everyone that passed by.Thank you all.

Gosh, poor you, sounds horrific but lovely to hear that people came to your aid. There are so many prolific 'this world's gone to the dogs' posters on this forum so very nice to hear evidence to the contrary! Hope you, your kids and your poor doggie get over the shock/injuries quickly and enjoy what remains of your holiday.

      That's great you have the cat! Sorry to interfere, and feel free to ignore this, but it might not be a great idea to post your mobile number on a public forum? You can message the owner on the forum via a private message.

      Venue hire suggestions

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.

      Thank you to who ever keeps the forum going

      By beansprout · Posted

      Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
