Yesterday, Sunday 16th January, my teenage daughter was with her young sister and her friend in Tesco Express in East Dulwich Road near Peckham Rye Common. For some reason her card did not work at the till and she became very embarrassed and distressed (by all accounts, a bit distraught) as she has anxiety issues. An incredibly kind woman (a customer) stepped in and paid for her shopping (and I'm not talking about just a pound or two). She did not leave a name or contact details - just paid. What an incredibly kind thing to do! We want to make contact with her, if possible, and I was wondering whether anyone on this forum is either that person, or knows who this was and if so whether they would be kind enough to message me?


This sort of kindness restores/reinforces your faith in humankind and we are all very touched by it. If this was you - thank you very much indeed and please do get in touch. If you read this and would rather not get in touch, then that's fine, but in that case you can know that your kindness was very much appreciated and made a very big difference!

    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
    • Looking for any tickets to the Dulwich Hamlets game against St Albans today!
    • I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
