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

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
