Something quite weird happened to me last night, and i'm wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.... At about 5pm I was walking away from the library on London Road (in the direction of the Harvester.) I was walking along and talking on my phone (which i know is silly...) when a young man ran up behind me and slapped me really hard in the lower back. He then sprinted off up the road. I don't know whether it was an attempted mugging (perhaps hitting me to see if I would drop something or loosen my grip on my bag?) or someone trying to slap my backside with a dreadful aim (although the way that he sprinted away suggests that might not be the case.)


Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Yeah but you get into trouble for shooting kids with airguns these day. Odd I know but there you go.


When I was a boy our parish priest shot at us with a shot gun (ok they were only salt shots and he didn't actually aim at us but anyway it frightened the life out of us) Didn't dare tell anyone or we would have got into trouble for trying to steal the boxes of crisps from the church hall in the first palce.


There's no justice in this world I tell you!

    • It's not entitlement FFS. We're paying the council more than £2k a year in tax. It's not too much to expect them to clean the streets and drains of leaves and dog shit for all that money, as well empty one bin once a fortnight.  The streets round here are a disgrace. The council are paid to make them not so. If they can't do it they should say so and stop charging money for the non-service.
    • The Post Office no longer runs the Lordship Lane PO either.  That slipped through under the radar!  Below is an extract from a letter from the PO to me in response to my query about long queues.  Shame the PO didn't say who the new owner actually is.  Does anyone know?   Whilst this branch was a 'Crown' office, this has now been franchised. Services at this location are now operated by an independent Postmaster. They're responsible for all aspects of the day-to-day running of the branch, and is the employer of the members of staff who work in the branch.   
    • Leaves falling throughout autumn and winter is just nature doing its thing. My bugbear is manmade rubbish strewn all over the floor after bin day. I go out and gather up leaves in my own area. Those with a garden put them in a bag and leave. They make lovely compost.
    • Shouting Out For England is an original England football song to be sung by children from East Dulwich primary schools, with all proceeds going to Football Beyond Borders - a UK charity that works with young people from areas of socio-economic disadvantage who are passionate about football but disengaged at school. We’re aiming to get to NUMBER 1 on the week of the start of the World Cup in June! To professionally record and release the song we’re looking to raise  £3,750. Any amount will help, but £50 + sponsors receive: a name or logo credit on the digital release sleeve (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube etc.) mention on the project website and social posts You can donate at https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/shoutingout - where you can also hear a short demo clip of the song. We hope you can take part, but if not, it would be great if you could forward to anyone you think might be interested!   Shouting Out For England https://shoutingoutforengland.com
