I know that this is a longshot but I thought it was worth a try. This afternoon I lost the diamond/platinum pendant from my necklace. It happened somewhere between The Bishop/HSBC/Jojo Mamam/Goose Green swings/Worlingham Road. The diamond is a good size and is in a modern, round setting. It was a wedding present from my husband and has much sentimental value. There is a reward for it's safe return. Thank you.

OHMYGOD! This is simply frightful. Poor you. I hope that you have insurance.


Clearly it will be spotted and returned asap - because a diamond that size will cause people to trip over it on pavements and blind passers by with it's brilliance. I just hope that the riff raff on Goose Green will hand it over if they find it - that place is virtually Peckham afterall.


By the way dear heart - I believe that it is called a "rub over" setting (sigh) - don't you simply adore good diamonds?

Careful Pongo - you might get barred (and rightly so) if you're rude to DM.


I see however, (admittedly according to Wiki) that Dalmatians 'have very sensitive natures but respond favorably to calm assertive leadership by the pack leader'.

Hi Jaw


I'm afraid I haven't seen you pendant, but just wanted to say I'm really sorry and good luck with finding it.

I can imagine how you must feel, I lost one of the diamonds from my engangement ring once and was so upset. My sister very sensibly reminded me, as I sobbed on her shoulder, that however much sentimental value something has it is still just a symbol. Or as she put it "it's the ring that's broken, not the engangement!"

I found mine inside a handbag, after a very careful search, and had it reset. So, I would advise an extremely careful search of your home, with a powerful torch to highlight dark corners (you know like they do on CSI), just in case you lost it inside.

And remeber (to paraphrase my sensible sister) it's the pendant that's lost, not your marriage or the memories of your wedding day.


Oh, and to defend Pongo, I do understand DM and find her funny, but I thought her trademark satire a little insensitive on this thread which is, after all, about someone losing something precious to them.



ps. In case you're wondering, I do realise that my posts read a bit like I'm one of the people DM is parodying (and see the irony in that), but I'm not honestly!

No - entirely within SE22. The first roads in SE15 are Ondine and Adys - but only the bit beyond St John's Vicarage.


Not sure it helps with the pendant though. Good advice from Asset I'm sure.

Fair enough.


I reckon it wasn't funny at all if you didn't clock that it was tongue in cheek - which itself illustrates a fundamental issue with non-verbal communication. But any levity is inappropriate on this thread due to the serious subject matter.


Edit - spelling, typos etc

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
