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!

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
