The East Dulwich Forum...what a fabulous resource...wouldn't you know it...I was literally reading this thread when Ms Electricity key scam artist knocked on the door! This is the second time this has happened in two months - we're on Landells Road. Anyway she was stopped in her story mid sentence by the fact that we know all our neighbours and knew exactly what she was up to. The joy of turning the tables on the scammer was delicious! My partner called the police on 020 8721 2447 (which is the safer neighbourhoods team number - which was on answerphone (what is the point!) and then called 999, while i followed her up the road. She ran off and got into a car - but not before i ran after her and got a good look at the guy driving and got the car number plate. Below are their description. Let's see what happens...


Her : Black, skinny, dreadlocks early 30's

Him : White, bald/crew cut mid 30's

Car Registration : W572UJB

Because .... ????

fantastic daisylets - Im really pleased to hear that you not only were not ripped off but got look at her accomplice and their car - I will be v interested to hear whether the police act on it. I posted the previous thread on this woman because I hated the way she exploited neighbourliness - well done!
I'll be interested to hear what happens. I'm a bit doubtful it'll get as far as a charge though. Ideally, it would be nice to have audio, written, and even video evidence, with a confirmatory fingerprint or two on a big clean pen or piece of paper.

That'll be after you've asked them to kindly write their name and address for you on a signed receipt for the loan. ;)

    • Hello,  I am interested to know people's opinion regarding dogs left tied up outside shops.  As I am hoping most dog owners are aware of how high risk it is now for dog theft.  People's houses are targeted for dog theft, even waiting to have a dog out in their back gardens, even for few minutes, to steal.  This is a very common occurrence now, as is breaking into properties to steal dogs.  The reasons behind dog theft varies, from using to breed, sell on, to use to sit whilst asking for money, (obviously not all people asking for money are dog thieves & may well own their own dog) and for dog bait for fighting.  This is not me being a drama queen, it is there for anyone to research regarding dog theft.  So would you leave your dog tied up outside a shop? 
    • I don't know if any of the cricket or tennis clubs also have little gyms. There are also pilates studios on Melbourne Grove, Blackwater St, North Cross Rd and even the community hall of the church on Calton Ave. The David Lloyd gym in Orpington is very luxurious and expensive.  
    • HI CPR Dave, I have to agree with Dogkennelhillbilly. We still have net migration into the country as per the Office of National Statistics- https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration It may go negative in a year or two if pundits specialising in this are correct, but it isn't yet. Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, I don't think your maths is correct. Southwark Council states total empty homes at 8,588 -https://southwarknews.co.uk/news/housing/southwark-has-over-8500-empty-homes/ the total number of homes is 135k. Which means 6.36% are empty. However, while canvassing came across an empty home which does not appear to have been appreciated by Southwark Council who are now investigating whether the empty Home Council Tax Premium should have been applied for the last 10+ years. It seems likely the 8,588 is under reporting the number of empty homes.  Infill sites are defined by most public bodies was non strategic sites from a development perspective. The railway yard and other sites are in the Southwark strategic plans and thus would not be infill sites.  Tall buildings planted into lower surrounding suburban areas is a subjective matter whether they are viewed as out of character for the area. It is factually true that I think they are out of character. Equally you have no qualms about such tall buildings being planted into the SE22 area.
