Just a quick one, as I go off the train tonight & crossed the road to Costcutter ( 24 hours ) for some processed supper, a pair of clowns tried to abduct me for purposes unknown.I heard about this , but never thought it would happen to me


Luckily I fought them off and they escaped in the direction of LL in a multi coloured retro car with oversised horn, belching steam from its bonnet & its doors hanging off.


They are both about 5ft 10, have big red shoes, bowler hats with the brims hanging off , curiously short tartan trousers & white faces with exaggerated rictus painted grins


Please be careful out there - if they ask you to smell their plastic lapel flowers, call the police

???? I don't think you should be making flippant remarks about this until we have the full facts at our disposal. I'm on the school run tomorrow morning so will ask the Lollipop Lady what code alert she's on, and will report back.


In the meantime, keep a bucket of confetti handy at your front doors, just in case.

I got into my car this morning. Turned the key and the all 4 doors popped off, closely followed by the bonnet and the boot door. Neighbours tell me that they saw a suspiciously pale man in a pointy hat and spangle jump suit loitering nearby late last night.
Please don't be too hard on the clowns. They have it really bad, you know. I am not supporting their behaviour, but there's nothing for them to do, you know. They can't get jobs, have to deal with their afflictions (size 17 feet, bright red noses and those rictus grins) and feel alienated. Have a heart, Snorky (or if not, at least a squirty flower).

I think you're missing the point Mike... this is a very serious matter. Just thank the good lord that snorky's one step ahead of the rest of us!

Clowns? Don?t talk to me about clowns. You lot don?t know you?re born the sort of clowns you have these days.


In my day we had proper clowns. Respectful as well. Tip their hat to you they would before slamming a pale of whitewash over your head and booting you out in front of a bus with an oversized shoe.


A proper bus too. Not one of these bendy things. Don?t know you?re born being hit by one of them. Ever seen a bendy bus with an oversized shoe anyway? Ridiculous.

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
