Hello

Hello everyone,

 

I have some very sad news to share. Many of you will know Akif from Dulwich Dry Cleaners on Lordship Lane, and I thought you might like to be aware that the shop will be closed soon for his funeral.

 

Tragically, Akif has passed away from injuries sustained in a vicious dog attack.

How awful. Poor man. Was he from the dry cleaners near the Post Office?

Unless I've misunderstood, it seems that the police were already aware that this was a dangerous dog, so why wasn't it removed from its owner before?

 

That is correct, the chap with the beard by the post office.

I'm heartbroken to read this. He was such a nice guy.

I'd like to lay some flowers outside the shop, does that sound appropriate?

That sounds thoughtful and lovely of you. I would personally go inside the shop and ask and see what they would prefer. I am sure they will be touched that you/we feel his loss within the community.

I was working on the assumption they would be closed when I did it

The guy running Mr Simms (apologies, I don't know your name) has a collection going, he's going to ask the family if flowers are acceptable or donate to charity.

If anyone wishes to donate, go see him

Thank you for this, I’ve passed the message on to others. That is a lovely gesture. The owner at Mr Simms is called David.

Depend on religion it can be very soon. 

Yes I agree but they have to prepare for a court case which will require huge amounts of evidence?

in other circumstances it would be an almost immediate burial

As he died of wounds in a hospital there would be no need of a post mortem. The recorded circumstances and the death certificate would be sufficient in any court case. For those whose faith requires swift burial, courts and coroners are generally careful to meet requirements. Hold ups are generally only likely where defendants dispute cause of death, highly unlikely in these circumstances.

The BBC report says the owner was due in at Snaresbrook Crown Court on the 6 January.  Has anyone seen any reports regarding that?

      Apparently a tourist tax was Raynor's idea, but Reeves has put the kibosh on it because of the push-back she'll get from businesses

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      But a larger number, in a more hotly contested election, didn't. It is an anomaly that Starmer won a landslide in seats with a turnout for Labour which would have shamed Labour leaders in all the 21st and much of the post war 20th century.

      I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!

      that's exactly what happened - Brickhouse were forced to close due to rent hike and then Gail's didn't move in until covid restrictions lifted and normality resumed. Gail's would have opened much sooner as they were lined up and able to offer the landlord much higher rents. Brickhouse was a local favourite
