Hi


I have some sad news that a long time contributor to the forum, Buddug died last week. We received an email from her sister who asked us to post this as her sister "loved being part of your community"


"I am writing with great sadness to inform you that Buddug (my sister) has been involved in a car accident. Sadly, she sustained such great injuries that she only survived the week and passed away Tuesday morning at 2.30am at the Birmingham Queen Elizabeth hospital. She had left East Dulwich a year ago and moved to the Shropshire countryside to run her own B and B. She had an amazing year, living her dream, and was fully booked this summer, achieving so much in such a short time. Friends and community mattered a lot to Anne and I know she valued the interactions and friendships she made through this forum. "


Her last post was a couple of months ago:

I was on the forum for well over 10 years I think. Happy days, most of the time! Am still mortified by my Sainsbury's avocado thread! 😱! And I still cherish my face to face meeting with Strafer Jack (also no longer here) in the Palmerston - it was quite emotional and uplifting. I Continue to follow you all but have moved to the South Shropshire Hills and set up a B&B. It's beautiful here but I still miss ED/Peckham borders though don't regret move. In fact I always maintain that nearby Ludlow is like ED in the country! And yes, I am still editing my posts - old habits die hard...

Thank you for being a part of our community Anne / Buddug

Ach. This is horrible on so many levels


Creating and succeeding in a new life is something to be admired. To have that taken away so soon...


Anne/buddug and I clashed on here many times. Almost exclusively clashed. Rarely if ever s meeting of minds.


But something about her transcended forum pettiness. So I challenged her to meet up for a drink. And we did. And it was a long and memorable evening. Even now, how many years later?


We didn?t meet and simper. We locked the same horns we did on the forum and we enjoyed it. We did bond over it. It reminded me of the forum?s early days where people who didn?t know each other would throw caution to the wind. Meet and be damned!


I was thrilled when I learned what she did in a new life. I?m gutted at how prematurely that ended


RIP Anne

    • You are best going to Battersea and adopting a dog. You’ll be able to meet different dogs and work with the staff to understand the breeds, temperaments etc.  Training is ongoing. If you get a very well trained puppy and don’t continue and maintain the training you will soon have an untrained puppy.  You have to put the work in.  Are you ready for this? It’s a lifetimes commitment and you don’t get to walk away or change your mind. Maybe register with Borrow My Doggy for six months and get to know local dogs. I’d happily meet you for a dog walk if it will help?
    • The Veolia teams that have serviced Underhill for the last few years (certainly before lockdown) have generally been very tidy. A few spillages but not noticeably many, and often from very overfilled bins. I have seen them take brooms to sweep up real accidental spillages. There are problems with fox or cat scattered rubbish from accessible bins, and from food wrappers discarded by passers bye, but that is neither Veolia's nor the council's fault. 
    • Hello We are looking to get a dog of 1 year plus - know how hard puppy training is and want to avoid it! Also keen to know dog’s personality before we jump in as friends have had very difficult experiences with puppies who turned out to be tricky.  Ideally would like to adopt but also open to buying - does anyone have any ideas of where one might buy a dog?  thanks in advance! 
    • I think you have been very kind towards the the council.  And even kinder in your description of Peckham High Street (LOL). Peckham High Street Rye Lane is awful.  I know it is a very controversial opinion   but I am happy that some parts are going to developed and re built.   The dirty pavements, graffiti shops that put their stock all over pavements and racing cyclists make it not an enjoyable place to be in.  In the old days any business would have to keep their premises in good order.   I am much happier being near a simple bit of over greenery or weed.   It is much cleaner and feels safer to be next to.   Some parts of Peckham are plagued by Zombie like people who have fallen prey to substance abuse.  And I don't see the council putting much effort into helping these poor lost souls.
