When I first moved to Dulwich which was way back in the prehistoric days of 1987 and houses could be bought for chump change there was a notorious case of two old guys living together in a basement flat in Hindmans Road. One of the guys dies of natural causes and his 'friend' continued to collect his pension for 9 months and the body of his friend was eventually found mummified in a chair in his kitchen. The smell eventually became so strong forces were mustered to check it out and the horrific situation was finally revealed. Does anybody else remember this as it was pre-internet days it is seemingly unremarked on the web.


Sounds like the old gits !

Hi ibilly99,


Yes, we moved here in 1980 and my wife remembers that story very well - a true story we believe. We think that Selma is right to say that it was near Tyrell Road because only those houses have basements.


Does anyone remember the old lady that had a little shop in Upland Road, opposite the current second hand shop and near the corner of Darryl Road? The shop has since been converted to a house after she left and later passed away, but she lived in a flat above at the time. She was a psychic who many people travelled miles to see and bred dozen of poodles. Her husband was Indian and died from mercury poisoning. The shop had a display of weird and wonderful books and objects, quite a curiosity at the time.


Cheers.

you don't want to know where you live? how ever do you get home after work?

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
