Controversial! How old? But then I don't think people should walk alongside each other if more than 2 people, they should step to one side if going to stop, not just in the middle of the pavement.

any particular reason why you feel this way? Age of children?


Or is this just.EDF children bashing?

Sorry, cynical....

Cricket?!...Rugby?!...Spot the middle class neighbourhoods...It was 'Kerby' down our way...2 kids stand on the pavement on opposite sides of a road, taking turns to throw a football, aiming to hit the kerb and bounce the ball back. The ball had to cross the middle of the road to count for 1 point. If you caught in the road before it bounced you got 2 points. If you caught it whilst still standing on the pavement you got 3 points. For added interest you could throw the ball over a car as it passed by...such fun!

Quite right, they can't ride on the pavements because the pavements are such poor quality. If the pavements were in better condition, it would be much safer for kids to ride their scooters on them.


Someone start a pavement improvement campaign, and have a fundraiser with cake. Lots of cake. Mmm cake.

We played coiny. Throw 2ps (high rollers 5p or 10p) toward curb. Nearest wins the money. Then we went to the bookies!

Our version was called Jingles, if you hit a coin it was deemed a draw. We played against walls rather than kerbs...

I have no problem with kids riding scooters provided they are supervised, especially kids of say 3, 4, 5 years of age. I've often seen kids of that age on scooters yards from their parents, who are too busy to notice because thay are busily arranging some ground breaking deal on the mobile phone. To say that this is a recipe for disaster and an accident waiting to happen is putting it mildly. And if, god forbid, a child was injured as a result of such negligence, no doubt the negligent parent/carer would blame the other party or driver if the child ended up under the wheels of a vehicle. Always someone elses fault.

You're right PD, I am terrible for using my phopne, but make a point of not doing it when out with my girls. Even having two kids can be a nightmare in these circumstances. I very nearly saw my older daughter go under the wheels of a big car that came seemingly out of nowhere around a corner in to a side street. My younger one distracted my attention, and the older one (unchariceristically to be fair) just went out in to the road. I've never been so scared, I swear the world slowed down.


Doesn't bare thinking about what could happen if you're paying no attention.


I did exchange some choice words with the driver who started blaming me, but on that occasion it was his bloody fault.

    • https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14774205/Urgent-warning-opioid-deaths-Met-Police-pills-heroin-nightclubs.html?ito=email_share_article-top   I'm sharing this article to help to spread the word about these new deadly synthetic opioids called Nitazenes which are finding their way onto the drug scene.  Two more young lives lost last weekend in young people at a South London club.    Most people I talk to have never heard of Nitazenes which are being used as contaminants in a number of other drugs including sleeping pills like valium and Xanax, oxycodone but have also been found in vapes and sedative antihistamines and cocaine.  So people buying sleeping tablets and other substances have no idea of the risk they are taking.  This is a relatively new trend and the number of deaths is on the increase.  Do discuss it with your teenagers and young adult children and anyone you know tempted to purchase sleeping tablets online.  It really is a much more dangerous and potentially lethal time to buy tablets online or on the street and hopefully knowledge of Nitazenes can help people protect themselves.  This stuff is in London and no doubt, is already in Dulwich so do spread the word.     
    • The link is showing the real link to the East Dulwich Forum that Joe on here set up.  https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DanoiLd48/?mibextid=wwXIfr East Dulwich Mums is my group and is not a spin off from this group. I have no connection to the other EDF Facebook group and nor do I promote any cleaning services. My group is very well run thank you and your information is incorrect.  No, that is the new Facebook group that the admin on here has set up.  Joe does need to turn the settings on that group to pre approval for all posts as there is a lot of posts on there that isn’t relevant.
