If you wait in your car outside Sainsbury local at Dulwich library she will probably bump into you.


She reversed into me (gently) when I was parked there last summer. :)

This is a free event for isolated people in East Dulwich and the surrounding areas. Myself and Nick are organising this event as we have both been through times of isolation and loneliness in our lives and we feel very passionate about helping other people who are living with the same issues. We have realised from sharing our experiences that there are many people out there who feel just like us. The elderly, single people, mothers and fathers looking after young children whilst their partners are out at work all day and many, many others. You may need help filling in forms, you may need advice about certain things or you just might want to see a friendly face now and again or have someone to talk to and share with.


The way it is right now, there are suicides, mental breakdowns and crime, as isolated people feel excluded from society. If nothing is done then this will continue. There are not many support groups out there so we are hoping that this event will bring people together to find new friends and to know that they are not alone and we may be able to save a marriage or even a life but we know we will definitely be having some fun.


The event is in the function room at the back of The Herne where there is a lovely garden so weather permitting we can sit outside. It will only be a success if you come along and bring your friends too. If you or anyone you know are in some way touched by the nature of our event or you or any of your friends are faced with isolation or loneliness then we need you to be there.


Vintage Pretty's of East Dulwich have very kindly donated tea, coffee and biscuits for us. We are also running a free raffle for everyone who comes. We are hoping that a couple of local celebrities will be there to mingle with us and we also hope to have a local newspaper person there to report the success of our event. Hope to see you there! Love Frarnie and Nick...

Just to mention that Adrian Lester is so much more than just Hustle - as a Shakespearean actor he's second to none.I still remember his Henry V at the National back in 2002/3 with immense pleasure - it persuaded my then 12 year old son that Shakespeare and the theatre were both worth persevering with. His Othello was perhaps even better - along with Rory Kinnear as Iago he was just magnificent.

    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant. 
    • Sadly, the price we now all pay for becoming a soft apologetic society.
    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
