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

Jules-and-Boo Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 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.

satsuma Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 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. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/327171-bank-holiday-monday-in-war-torn-east-dulwich/#findComment-1625430 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules-and-Boo Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 you'd like to think it was tongue-in-cheek, but there's really no grounds on which to assert that Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/327171-bank-holiday-monday-in-war-torn-east-dulwich/#findComment-1625490 Share on other sites More sharing options...

claresy Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 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!

claresy Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 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.
