My dear old dad said to me the other day, "People paid atleast ?10000 over the odds to live around here, it doesnt make sence" LOL!


Not everybody is a snob Honk, but there are a lot around here. And for what, a 3 bed terraced house on the arse end of peckham.

Brendan. I have reviewed your sticks and imost of them are good solid sticks so i have given your bunch a AAA stick rating. Sure, some of the bunch are small and useless but who cares, put the big ones on the outside and you can get a good price for those sticks, noone will notice the little sticks on the inside. By the time your buyer discovers the little sticks, you will be long gone mate.

I'm not even going to answer such a pointless comment.

I don't see how it's pointless Honk, you're the only person on this thread who has suggested that skin colour should be a reasonable criteria for crime prevention investment.


If you don't want people to draw the logical conclusion that skin colour is a major influence in your dealings with people, then you're going the wrong way about it.

Take a look at the East Dulwich Police Safer Neighbourhood Team newsletter:


ED SNT Newsletter


That money I arranged has helped to see a dramatic reduction in household burglary, a dramatic reduction in shop crime.

We're looking at further ideas.


The East Dulwich Lib Dem cllrs want East Dulwich to became one of the very lowest crime ward in London.


One request the Police often make to me is they wish people would report crime and other intelligence to them so they have the big picture of what is happening locally.

Regards james barber

Liberal Democrat councillor for East Dulwich

Thanks for telling us what you arranged councillor.


Could you please also explain how much money was spent on installing Help Points around the Borough which were never functional and have recently been removed at great expense?


Was that your idea too?

Hi Theehope,

The talking help points.

These were not my idea.

However, when this was originally mooted I was expecting the successful idea of existing CCTV cameras to have have micrphones and speakers added. CCTV computers programmed to recognise certain noise profiles which indicate a problem and then the CCTV operator tells the perpetrator they are being recorded and 9/10 times they stop.

Unfortunately this was not what was project managed.


I'm afraid I don't remember the exact sums but it was around sixty something thousand pounds for something like 20 help points around the borough. One was next to the pizza place next to East Dulwich station.


It appears one of those cases where a government grant was available. This carrot was bitten without thinking through the consequences. The current executive councillor Linda Manchester is wise enough to avoid such pitfalls.


But Theehope what do you think would reduce crime in East Dulwich. We've given out over 1,000 property marking kits (1 in 5 households), every shop has an Alertbox. What should we do next?

Yeah... but no but aren't more Acado vans being held up though?



Obviously by Boden wearing stripy topped "Baddies"......


"Look just hand over the Balsamic & the Extra virgin cold pressed....Now! or i'll biff your nose in"



Police are looking for a man wearing trodden down espadrilles and salmon coloured cords.


Race unknown.

Hi macroban,

If you google 'talking cctv cameras' you get loads of stuff:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6524495.stm

http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/about-us/news/talking-cctv

The schemes implimented so far don't seem to have sufficient scale to prove anything eitherway. Equally they generally are aimed at reducing low level anti social behaviour that isn't reliably recorded such as instances of littering.

My brother gets mugged every day. Last night chased by three black boys screaming ''Get him! Get his bike!''. That is my evidence of ED being full of crime & getting worse. Generally speaking, the stabbing that happened on LL, people on this forum who have been jumped & robbed of their ipods & phones...


Just saying, you've gotta be pretty stupid if you need convincing that ED is in fact getting worse. If you bothered to get out more, you'd probably find sooner or later you'll be one of the victims.

Can't decide whether or not this is a joke.


Is it?

My thoughts go out to your brother who it would seem is the unluckiest person in the world.

I and my entire family have been 'getting out' in ED for many many years and none of us have been mugged, stabbed or shot.

I do believe that crime is an issue in London, I do not believe (and will not until someone shows me some hard evidence) that it is on the increase, before this forum, you may well have not heard about all the incidents, this does not mean that they weren't happening.

    • Good morning, neighbours! We have around 1,000+ glasses like these from a café that just closed down. Not sure if anyone would like to keep some before we send them to charity. Please feel free to come and pick them up at 22 Upland Road, SE22 9EF anytime before 31st Oct😉    
    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood. 
    • Line speed and the strength of your Wi-Fi signal are two separate things.  The first is determined by the type of connection (fibre/copper etc) to the outside world and the second is the connection between the device (printer/TV/laptop/tablet etc) and the router. If you are connecting a device to the router using cables (as Alec1 is) then this is will give the best possible connection but isn't practical for many without a degree of upheaval and even then not all devices (tablets for example) will allow a wired connection. So you relying on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the device and this will depend on the quality of the router, the type of Wi-Fi connection (the frequency), line of sight etc - many different things.  This is why some people opt for a "mesh" type setup which is supposed to give a solid quality of Wi-Fi signal around the house with little or no blackspots.  It's expensive though and still requires the devices that send and receive the signal (like the plug-ins you have) to be wired to the router.
