There's a tall beggar on Lordship Lane almost everyday. I walked out the dentist he's there, he walks up and down North Cross Road, I've even seen him outside the Tesco near Peckham Rye. I've seen him buying drugs at the cafe opposite marks. He seems harmless enough but the begging is persistant 'psst psst sis sis or uncle uncle' or taking a seat next to at the bus stop.

Does he bother anyone else? I just feel he's getting more and more pushy and makes me want to avoid the area.

Tall slim black guy?


If it’s the same person, I find he can be rather intimidating.

He tried to pounce on me once, watching me while I was in the post office.


Because I had made a cash withdrawal I made sure I put the money away safely.

I felt like he was trying to intimidate me, & I am definitely not a person who is easy to feel that way.

When I came out of the post office he asked me for money, little me looked him straight in the eyes & said no, I don’t have any for him!


Ever since then, he knows me, sees me & then looks away!

He knows I’m not one to mess with 😜

Saw this guy mid week hassling people outside the post office and the sweet shop on lordship Lane, a guy from a wagon possibly council or a builder got into his wagon and then saw what the guy was doing so he got out and approached the guy and basically told him to sort his shit out because he is pissing people off who have no business with him.

The beggar guy seemed to shut up for a bit but carried on after the wagon drove off.

Been around a while this guy and he’s determined to just ruin that moment you’re near him.

Yep I’ve seen the same guy but as I’m pushing the buggy and owner have my other kids with me , he’s never asked me for money. But I’ve seen him pester everyone! I’m genuinely surprised that he has the decency to not ask a mum of 3! Or maybe it’s the glare I give him that puts him off. Looks like a crack head to me, early in his drug abuse life as he’s still fairly well dressed and clean appearance.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
