Ten orange bottles are sitting on the wall,

a little nudge will make one accidently fall.

On thing that is certain, absolutely sure,

another one will take its place once more.


Nine orange bottles, one is turning pink,

we hope that no one chances a quick drink.

I wonder where it came or where it?s made,

looks more like the colour of Lucosade.


Eight orange bottles, most contain a litre,

one has been refilled, that makes a repeater.

How can these bottles line up it?s fantastic,

glad they are not made of glass, only plastic.


Seven orange bottles, get a lot of attention,

some of us see them going for our pension.

One of them has now fallen on the ground,

lucky it is plastic did not make a sound.


Six orange bottles, all standing in a line,

I am very pleased that the wall is not mine.

Wonder if the sun will make them burst,

better they go that way or quench a thirst.


Five orange bottles, bursting to the top,

think that anyone could overheat and pop.

If they do explode, they will leave a stain,

if weather changes wash away with the rain.


Four orange bottles, now looking all forlorn,

most have their labels missing or badly torn.

I like the coloured caps, that close the top.

cant say as I like the bottom shape a lot.


Three orange bottles, is not so many now,

sure that the number will increase some how.

?Mummy why are those bottles upon the wall ??

?don't take any notice we will be late for school?.


Two orange bottles, are sitting side by side.

one feels self conscious and just wants to hide.

Each tries to hide behind the other out of sight,

they will never succeed try as they might.


One orange bottle, thinks has lost his Human Rights,

if the toilets were not removed, none suffer this plight.

The rights we had have gone to spend a Penny,

the right to do a human function? We have not any.


Due to the last post I sent, the message was read over 500 time in twenty four hours.



This has prompted a couple of Personal messages to me to give some light on the subject. This is one.


Hi,


I am writing a story on the orange liquid bottles that have been appearing around Dulwich for a piece in the Southwark News newspaper and would like to speak to you about your experience.



The mystery surrounding the orange liquid is very intriguing and I'd like to speak to some residents who've seen it around and would like to get to the bottom of what it is.


Could you call 0207 xxx xxx and ask for Reena and I'll call you back or could you let anyone else know who you think will be willing to talk to me about it.


We go to press tomorrow morning so I'd really like to speak to somebody today.


Regards. xxxxxx

    • I am always really surprised by the glowing reviews of Franklins. Not sure whether it was once very good, and so it is just somewhere that is now remembered as that and thought of fondly by those who have known it since its opening all those years ago? As someone who has lived in the area for a few years now, and having tried it a few times (mostly as a result of the positive reviews), I have always been pretty disappointed. The food has always been average for the price point, and last time we visited we waited about 40 minutes to place an order. Hopefully whoever buys it can make improvements - it would be great to have a reliable pub on the lane that serves good food (similar to the Kerfield or Camberwell Arms, etc.)!
    • I will buy you a frothy coffee from anywhere you like on Lordship Lane if that happens. Most of these costs never get recovered from the drivers that caused them. The photo shows a car that's been left on the zigzags protecting the crossing. Pedestrians crossing East to West and drivers heading South won't see each other until the pedestrians are in the road. That is a dangerous position to leave a car in. (I don't know if it's stil there, obviously).
    • Seems a pretty dangerous position to me - apart from getting in the way of pedestrians trying to cross the road large vehicles heading south have to edge into the oncoming traffic lane to get past. I've got a normal-sized car and had to squeeze through a gap the other day.  
    • When a car is left damaged by the road-side it may be that the insurer is tasked with recovering the vehicle to assess it and (possibly) take it for repair. Only if it is in a dangerous position will the police recover it - which saves money for the tax-payer.  You may also have some recovery options with e.g. the AA (other organisations are available). Were the car to have been stolen or abandoned then it will take some time to sort this out, and again unless the vehicle is in a dangerous position the police won't be rushing to deal with that. Not sure who the 'they' are in this case.
