I just wondered if anyone knew what the score was with the alarm that keep myself & Mr P awake all last night? I think it is somewhere on North Cross Road. Started about 11.30pm last night, I was going to go out & investigate this morning, but it seems to have finally stopped...Just wondered if it might have anything to do with the young men who broke a window in the Thai Corner Cafe the other week?

Funny, I was walking up Northcross Road at about 10:15pm and there was an alarm going off at the chemist. I wouldn't have liked to live nearby, it was quite deafening. Does nobody report these things to the police, what happens, does anyone care. I did nothing, call me a hypocrite!

I once called the Police because my neighbour's house alarm was going off and they were on holiday. The response from the Police was 'have you actually seen anyone breaking in?' As I hadn't, and didn't fancy investigating myself in the darkness of night, they told me that if it hadn't stopped after an hour call the environmental people at the Council.

Rubbish.

I was less bothered by the noise and more worried for my neighbours that their house was being robbed. It seems that unless you actually witness first hand a break-in, the police aren't bothered. I appreciate there are more serious crimes to attend to, but being robbed is pretty serious too don't you think?

Alarms are temperamental and I know mine has been off a few times. My first reaction is never ?OMG there?s an undesirable in my house? but always ?OMG what about next door?. But my next door neighbour is a honey and never complains!


Alarms just deter a burglar into going to a house without an alarm because, let?s face it, we all want an easy life.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
