Had a laugh out loud at "Millwall Brick". Is it cockney rhyming slang? I've never heard of it before...

Make the wrong call and you're open to both criminal prosecution and action for damages. Do you want to gamble on, say, whether your assessment of 'reasonable suspicion' is accurate and provable, in such a piddling case? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_arrest

'A piddling case'!! I wonder what her annual income is? I bet it's more than i earn!!! She hasn't just hit one person, it's a career to her - so i'd hardly say it was 'piddling'. You also missed the point of my previous post, but i won't bother explaining it as you appear to have no sense of humour.

i'd certainly agree that it's piddling - especially as it seems she generally doesn't get away with it


to me it's effectively just begging (with a sob story, but nothing new there). (obviously i appreciate that her style of begging involves calling on people at home)


dialling 999, chasing her, citizen's arrest - all a waste of time and an overreaction in my eyes

pk, I agree that dialling 999 should be purely for emergencies. Being conned out of a fiver is not an emergency. There's been quite a lot of recent publicity about people wasting the time of the emergency services by dialling 999 for trivial reasons, I'm surprised it's being suggested here.

Just had a visit from the police to take details of the con woman. They advise that if she knocks on your door you should dial 999. They are actively looking for her. She is currently targeting Glengarry, Trossachs, Tarbert Roads apparently.

"Pillwall Brick"??..Thats West Ham Fans derogatory named for Millwall's brand of Football that is so boring, they reckon, that you have to have Pills to endure it..zzzz....and "Brick" in this context is an old-fashioned term for a real trooper, as in, "he/she's areal brick"...someone to rely or depend on....

They can't be looking very hard, ROFLMAO. She's reportedly already been arrested and prosecuted in the past, she is 'known' to police, she is very very active and yet the police can't find her! LMAO!

Maybe they lost her address.

Maybe the po-po are in on the act with her and she pays them a cut of her profits!

Had her ring my bell late on Saturday night (live on East Dulwich Grove). Same story; stopped her halfway through and told her I heard about her on the East Dulwich Forum? she was a bit stunned and asked what that the EDF was and once I told her she was on her way?.
well done matti, I started the previous thread after she conned us. Even if the police have not caught up with her yet the forum has let loads of east dulwich folk know - perhaps she might post her own message on the forum!! 'con woman replies'....only problem is will we believe her?

She came to my house on Landcroft road couple of weeks ago (i am literally next to the police station!) . Same sob story. She is a VERY good actress. Can't believe i fell for it. But it was snowing and ?5 for a "neighbour in need" didnt seem like too much to ask. will be the last time i ever help anybody!!

    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
