I guess but my experience is much more in line with JohnL and HPSaucy. I always help though so it might be that those who help don't feel like people are left struggling. People always helped me on the rare occasions I was alone as well so I am just surprised its a prob

Em for some

I always get offers of help at Peckham Rye when I'm there with a buggy, it leaves me with the warm fuzzies. I do find it a bit awkward though, when someone helps you up/down the first lot of stairs, and then ends up obliged to help with the second set.


I offer help to others when I'm without kids, and Mr Pickle assures me he does the same.

Actually the last time I was in Lewes, a member of staff rushed to help me on the train. It wasn't even necessary but I was terribly impressed.


Also, to be fair, I have been helped a lot at Peckham Rye - but yes, sometimes by women, and often by suited men who I think may well have sprogs at home.

So somebody disagrees with me, therefore I am complaining about nothing? Whatever.


Luckily, lifts are due to be installed. By 2019.

Okay, take offence at me disagreeing with you then.


I was genuinely shocked people find this a problem on the scale being reported by some as I?ve lived in the area for 10 years and use Peckham Rye regularly and always got / get help and always see people getting help. May it depends on what time of day you are using the station?

I tried to help an old woman with her shopping in Clapham once and she started edging back and shouting at me. Clearly she was mad and it was a bad choice for me on whom to start my good Samaritan apprenticeship on.


I do help as often as I can but some people have huge suitcases. A motto for travel might be: if you cant carry it yourself don't bring it.

Some people just don't see themselves as old and in need of help.


She probably thought you were going to take it all :)

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By malumbu · Posted

      There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
