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

    • Anyone got any large boxes/crates for house moving that they no longer need? Please message 07972 368 261 Thanks Sarah
    • I hear there was a bear seen in Dulwich Park this week, a bear warden was dispatched by Southwark to capture it. They used a piece of cheese as Bears are partial to cheese (not marmalade sandwiches) and was heard crying "Camembert  Camembert" to coax it out. 
    • Sorry. They have become a bit grating. It was just a rarebit of fun.  
    • 'You’ve shown time and time again that you care about what’s happening in Gaza. If you could put it into words, what would your message of solidarity with Palestinians be? You can now pick up a free postcard in your local Oxfam shop to write your message – expressing how you feel about the atrocities happening to people in Gaza. Post it back to us, and we’ll take it to the Labour Party Conference in September. Many MPs will be there. So will the Prime Minister. This is a big opportunity to speak up for Palestinians and show the breadth and depth of the UK public feeling about this. Roba, an Oxfam colleague in Gaza, has been sharing her experience. It’s hard to read, but it’s important these stories are heard: “You can’t truly understand what starvation is until you’ve felt it. Until it is no longer just a word, but a daily reality that consumes life. There is nothing more soul crushing than hearing a child cry. Not for toys, not for luxuries. But simply for a loaf of bread. That tiny little voice bidding for something so basic. So human. We’re not demanding anything grand. We’re seeking the bare minimum to stay alive. And when you can’t answer that cry, when all you have are empty hands and a heavy heart, it leaves a mark that never fades.” We’re seeing a shift from our government. But they’re not doing enough. Despite changing their tone and acknowledging that there is a risk Israel has breached International Humanitarian Law, they are continuing to allow the sale of arms to the Israeli government. They need to see and feel your emotion. People are starving to death. People are being shot at whilst collecting aid. People are being displaced, time and time again. And Israel's decision to take direct military control of Gaza City marks a dangerous escalation. Israel continues to illegally occupy the Palestinian territory and this latest plan is a brazen act of erasure carried out in full view of the world. When will our government take action and say ENOUGH? So please, share your message. You can even add your name and postcode if you’d like us to try and get your postcard in front of your own MP. Ghada, our colleague in Gaza, said: “Every action, every voice, adds to a movement that can’t be ignored. This is not just about politics. This is about humanity. It’s about solidarity. It’s about refusing to stay and be silent.” We will never stop speaking up for Palestinians in Gaza. Thank you for being here, Charlotte Campaign Engagement Manager'
