Thank you to anyone who stopped to help an elderly woman yesterday afternoon on Barry Road


Recommended Posts

Hi - I just wanted to say thanks to all the various pedestrians, cyclists and drivers who stopped to offer help to my elderly mother who had a nasty fall on Barry Road yesterday afternoon. We waited for just under an hour for the ambulance to arrive, and during this time we were offered assistance by almost everyone who passed by - which even included a chair, blankets, cups of tea, a warm flat, and some company!


Mum was fine - she fractured her arm and her knee cap, and has now hobbled back to her home in Merseyside with a sling and crutches - but she remained positive due to the warm-heartedness of the local East Dulwich residents, and is now telling all her friends what a lovely friendly place this is!


Anyway, I'm not sure if anyone will actually see this - but if you were one of the people yesterday who stopped to help - thank you!!

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....
