I forgot, I have to say something similar on the third greeting...''Good morning Mr Magpie, how's the wife and kids?''

Nothing for two, but if I'm with someone and I see one Magpie, then I say ''One Magpie seen by two, double good luck to me and you''...apart from Magpies, I'm very rational...honest!

Down four generations, there's only been one girl born on my father's side.


My Great Grandfather had two boys, my Grandfather had two boys, my Dad had two boys, his brother had two boys and the anomoly, my Dad's brother's anomoly had two boys, her younger brother had two boys, her other brother hasn't had kids, my brother has had a boy and i've not had kids.

What if the ladders collapses and you get a builder on top of you ?

Unless the stalker had already worked out their quarry's regular route and laid down the feathers accordingly...

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
