I hope she is ok, and finds the help she needs to get herself into a better state of mind.


As someone who recently lost a family member to suicide, I would give anything to have had the chance to offer help after a failed attempt. I hope she has the support of family and friends to help her, and my thoughts are with all involved.

I think for someone to take an action as extreme as this is absolutely intent on ending their life and almost certainly would not have expected to survive. The degree of anguish this woman must be in to have done what she did is probably and thankfully beyond the understanding of most of us. I hope that she and her family get all the help they need. I also hope that the driver and witnesses get plenty of support and understanding.

Very good point only asked as my wife was on her way to work at that time and i hadn't hear from her. I had been in europe all week.

I would like to share information about the brilliant charity PAPYRUS - for the prevention of young suicide. They believe, as I do, that many young suicides are preventable.


Suicide is the biggest killer of young people (under 35years old) in the UK. And the statistics do not tell the whole story as many suicides are not recorded as such.


Please check out their website/ facebook page/ twitter etc and pass on the word......

PAPYRUS campaign, provide training and have a helpline. They intervene to prevent suicide - and are doing a fantastic job.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
