A friend?? On Underhill Road??


Please tell us you were taking a food parcel and some old clothes to the mother of your gardener.

Cannabis farms don't get heated at night. The light/dark timing to fool the plants into a state where they produce flowers constantly is not related to the 24 hour clock. So at any time of the day they can be on or off. And if the police decided to use helicopters to search for cannabis farms using heat detection they would have a challenge on their hands. If you hover over London looking at houses that produce heat out of their lofts you will see thousands of houses. The idea that the police could (or even should) get a warrant to break down the front door of a house just because it has a warm roof is just ridiculous. And what about the problem of cannabis farms that happen to be in the basement? The police would have to rethink their whole strategy.

Most farms are run by teh Viets nowadays and they work on a 5:1 basis a, budgeting for one bust for every 5 operations - they lose a grands or twos worth of HP equipment and some illegal imigrant lackey gets arrested/ jailed / deported , but it a very lucrative business and very hard to stop


Oddly, most of the busts are on information received from other "farmers", looking to trim their competitors harvest - its not often the Polis helicopter detects them.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • 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/
    • 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.    
    • 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.
