I'm glad someone else has seen, the man I have only seen asleep (until my loud girl wakes him) but the lady is very shifty looking but after a couple of hard stares she seemed to wander far enough away...I'm glad they are aware hopefully he will take the help soon
They are not a new nature attraction, they are human beings. Perhaps you could teach your little one not to shout and wake them up each time. It's not a game. And I wonder if you felt enormously superior and condemnatory with your 'hard stares' at the woman. I only ask. Sorry, but the tone of this post seriously pisses me off.

Buddug what a pathetic way to look upon a post...nothing you say makes an impact!

A child is going to be 100% curious because it is a new experience


Go and use your time helping them instead of interrupting a curious thread as this is a forum about our local area and the goings on!!!!

You being offended is of no concern to me...don't read what you can't see two sides of

Saying a person is "down on their luck" isn't even a statement you could begin to explain because it's broader than most people could know


If you read the post property you would see it was a "humorous" add in that my child speaks of them...as she does of squirrels etc


Read the main message don't derive what you want from it

OP, your ignorance scares me. Through history there have been any number of sectors of our society that have been described as curious, or scary, or shifty based on nothing but a snap judgement of their appearance or situation. Ignorance is usually the cause, fascism is usually the result. Next time you see them try taking a hot drink or sandwich to them. And also consider that a huge proportion of this country is only a one month pay check from being in a very similar situation. Explain to your curious daughter that what she is seeing is the result of a society broken by people who do nothing but point. I'm amazed I managed to get through this without swearing.
Disgraceful post. Glad at least that one person has taken the trouble to find out if Shelter are aware, instead of posting idle and contemptuous gossip. Almost worse than the original is the comeback to buddug, who is entirely correct and justified. Shame.

Lighten up and read the reason for post

To ask if others have noticed the recent increase in homelessness in our local area


And don't dare assume to know how a hold should be moulded, thins are to be discovered in ones own time not

Forced upon them

Hmmm yes. Unpleasant tone here. I spent 10 years living in supported housing with people with learning disabilities and they got so much of this kind of attitude all the time, including from children who had not been taught about tolerance and difference. Perfectly fair that she is curious but she can do that quietly. And as for the "hard stares" - shocking.

Oh dear.


LaineyB - if I ever need a nanny...remind me not to call you. Anyone who's an advocate of the Daily Mail's school of parenting and thinks it's "humorous" to refer to a someone sleeping rough who's probably homeless as "the new nature attraction" need not apply.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
