I rarely use the no 12 bus and it will be a while before I use it again. I am quite affected by the shooting yesterday, but only because I have children. I was playing with my daughter on the rye Sunday midday and trying to get her to ride her bike for the first time without stabilisers. We walked back up Friern Road at about 12.30, obviously not far off the time and location of the shooting.


I'm going to stay clear of the peckham rye end of ED for a while and that includes the no 12 bus.

Why not go the whole hog and barricade yourself in your house? It's the only way to be sure.

Hi Mick - although I do sympathise - had I gone to the Herne for a quick drink before Sunday lunch I might have been passing by as the shooting happened, but you simply cannot let these things affect you and your life. I was mugged at Elephant and Castle and although I was very shaken, I knew I had to continue using the buses and the tube in that area. If violence affects our lives then the perpetrators of such violence are winning the fight against decent behaviour.

By saying you're going to stop going to that part of ED for a while you're making a change to your life as a direct result of these events. Exactly what these criminals are hoping to achieve! I actually live very close by and although the news has shocked me, I have no intention of changing the way I live.

Jeez don't knock a guy for being shaken by someone being executed by a single bullet to the back of their head in proximity to their neighbourhood !! Especially when


People take things different ways and react how they feel like reacting.


We all know what we SHOULD do for crissakes. As for the perpetrators I don't think they're trying to scare people from the neighbourhood, they were more focussed on taking that poor guy out. There's no battle going on for the streets !

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Actually, one of the reasons Sylvester Road was closed was that the space available as more and more parcels were part of the mix was insufficient (and the facilities were primitive). And that was before Covid when parcel delivery numbers soared. Sylvester Road as it existed then would not have coped, probably (and the move to Peckham, when Covid arrived, showed that that wasn't sufficient either!).

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By I&C · Posted

      Aria came round a couple of weeks ago to take a look at a radiator that wasn't working properly. He did a fabulous job, and was very generous with his time and his expertise. We will absolutely look to him again for any plumbing needs.
