Local Ab Fab "celeb" and stand up calling ball ED businesses for crowdfunding

But it shouldn't have been, Newboots. It's just a sodding request for crowd funding for my next show. What's so odd about that? Sadly, it was hijacked by the usual suspects, and descended into chaos... Never mind, eh?

I'm trying to count posts that might be seen as "cluttering". Perhaps Lady Norwood's first post (but then she gave money) and Red Devil's very short one.


Where are all the "usual suspects"?


What a strange reaction, buddug.


And why does Helen Lederer (above) refer to herself in third person?

Ted Max. How are you helping here? So many people - i.e. old farts - came on, who knew nothing about crowd funding. And they were probably people who could offer nothing of value anyway. That's what cluttered things up. Helen was hoping to attract local businesses who might benefit from her input. It wasn't to be. She's gone.

I am really shocked at the responses of East Dulwich, you want to consider yourselves as forward thinking and proud to be a community that that is helpful and wants to generate change and further development of the village that you want to call East Dulwich. Yet when a community member that is well known and trying to develop themselves, you totally shun the idea and in essence call this cheap.

Unfortunately this is like a business and without any backing nothing can succeed. This lady is part of the community you so desire, so why not assist in at least encouragement, and show a little respect rather than the venom that has be spouted.


Mason

Wow, Mason. Thank you so much for your input! But you're so right. And Helen can no longer come on this site, it's upset her too much, at a time when she's trying to rally aid. She'll get what she wants, but not from East Dulwich!
No one said cheap! This, Ted Max, was simply a call for crowd funding. How did anyone help in that? On the whole, they didn't. Nothing but negative anti-middle class comment. C'est la vie. Helen will achieve what she needs, but not from East Dulwich!

Well, I do know a bit about crowd funding, but I didn't realise that was being requested from the op. I don't think I was alone in that.


I also didn't realise that Helen Lederer is a local celeb, although I have lived here for 18 years.


The reactions of buddug, HL and Mason just seem wildly disproportionate to the posts being made. I really didn't see any sneering or venom.


It is strange to post this sort of request (as it turned out to be) and expect nothing but unquestioning responses.


I am sorry if anyone is upset though!

Newboots. Forget it. This is too sad. And Helen is upset, so too late for you to say sorry if anyone is upset. She didn't want your empathy, pity or anything. Just some support if you fancied it. But if any local businesses want to support Helen, do feel free!

Just wanted to add that I think most of us get plenty of these requests for crowd funding, or sponsorship, from within our own pool of friends/family/acquaintances, and after a while a sort of "donation fatigue" sets in. Times are hard, even in ED, and perhaps there isn't all that much spare cash sloshing around?


Having said all that, I hope Helen's project gets off the ground, of course I do. I have nothing against her and I'm sure no one else on the forum does either.

Good point newboots, re fatigue. I can understand that. There's a part of the East Dulwich Forum that makes me physically sick. But Helen was appealing to local businesses, not to you lot who can't offer anything. So why did you post, and clutter up her thread? You have nothing to donate, and never will, so why come on here?
Just goes to show what one writes, quotes terms that only suit their needs: Mason wrote: "you totally shun the idea and in essence call this cheap." If you actually read into that and understand what I actually said you would understand, but then you really need intelligence to Understand.
I am not sad, just confused. Someone who was never here has had to go somewhere else because of something they have seen that was never there. Unless there is a page missing to this thread I see no venom (some uncalled for abuse from yourself but no venom), I see no anti middle class comments, I see no hatred. I presume you are trying to be funny or trolling yourself but think you are failing. Not that you are interested in anyone's opinions, just want their cash.

For what it's worth, I couldn't make head nor tail of the original post either.


Does that make me a horrible, horrible person who lives among the like of lovely, lovely people like buddug in East Dulwich?


What an extraordinarily bizarre thread.

I am capable of empathy but you said you/she didn't want empathy you just wanted cash. Why are you asking what it feels like to have no human feeling. I thought to someone of your superior intellect it would be obvious if you have no feeling it doesn't feel like anything, otherwise you would have feeling would you not. Or is that also explained in the missing page of this thread.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
