Not exactly current but definitely positive ...


Saw an ordinary but rather forlorn guy standing outside the Co-op in Lordship Lane prior to Christmas, stranded by the fact that his bike had been tethered to the bike rack by someone else's lock - every cyclist's nightmare. His only hope was that the other cyclist would come back soon, but the much flashier steed didn't seem to be yielding an owner any time soon. Since the offending lock only passed through his brake cable, I went home, got some tools, and freed his bike, obsviously checking that the brakes worked once reassembled. I think he lived a few miles off so it would otherwise have been a bit unnecessary back and forth in a season when time is short. Good to feel useful and be in the right place sometimes. Haven't seen him since though ... ooh errr!

Good for you, paulc! I think I did that to someone by mistake a few months ago outside the Ritzy. When I came back 8 hours later at midnight all the other bikes had gone and mine was attached to nothing at all. Had this thread existed then I'd have said how grateful I was to find it still there.

      By PeckhamNicola · Posted

      Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/

      Old bottle shop on Whateley Road?

      Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.

      Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

      By taliax7 · Posted

      Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.

      Noisy parties on Crystal Palace road (around number 41)

      By Jbrownsydenham · Posted

      Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
