Bank holiday Monday in war-torn East Dulwich.

[Andy P]

The fire brigade came and put it out.

No, I don't know who started it.

[Cyclemonkey]

Someone trying to get rid of a  disposable BBQ perhaps?

[Andy P]

It looked like a bundle of newspapers to me. 

[wordsworth]

The horror. 

[KalamityKel]

I hope no one was hurt! 😱

[vladi]

I guess somebody has a grudge about traffic lights.

Surely it just needed a bucket of water? Assuming there was nothing burning which would have been made worse by water?

 war-torn East Dulwich ??? it's a fire not a bomb a bit over the top look at Ukraine 

[Jules-and-Boo]

Great use of resource - couldn't someone find some water - there are lots of businesses around there. Fire extinguishers?

Don't people actually have any common sense at all?

 

And seriously - "War Torn"? Get over yourself. There are real problems in the world

I think the original poster might be joking when they refer to it as war-torn. It's hyperbole, to take it literally is just mental.

Drone aimed at traffic light thinking it was a ulez camera

you think ???

[Jules-and-Boo]

you'd like to think it was tongue-in-cheek, but there's really no grounds on which to assert that

[claresy]

OF COURSE they were joking! I'm amazed anyone could read it otherwise.

Bad joke if you ask me with all that's happening in WAR TORN Ukraine 🇺🇦 still if that's what you think is a joke well again what can I say

[claresy]

Whether I think it's funny or not isn't the point. It just seemed obvious that a photo of a tiny fire with a post heading about Dulwich being 'war torn' wasn't meant seriously!

But that is the point...and people are dying in WAR TORN Ukraine. So WHY SAY THAT ? ,is it that funny as you say it was a joke.....NICE JOKE

[claresy]

They were not making a comparison with Ukraine. That was you!

[ken78]

I know but saying DULWICH IS WAR TORN  and then saying it was a joke come on READ YOUR POST then comment 

[Dulwichdaddy]

I found it amusing, lighten up 

[KalamityKel]

I guess if it was posted in the Lounge it would have been more acceptable?

Sheesh 🙄

[claresy]

We'd best avoid any flippant comments on a local London forum, as sure it will make a big difference to people in the Ukraine, not to mention making some people on the forum extremely ANGRY and prone to using UPPER CASE.
