Usual argument prevails.


Its all about proportion and extent of criminal activity.


There was a Murder in The Orkney Islands, I understand, this year, the first for 24 years.


By living in certain areas you drastically reduce your chances of having your door kicked in, for example.


I never lock my car in my drive and when a friend is staying, I leave the back door unlocked and my side entrance is open, and yet I don't envisage any problems here in Bexley.


Point is I would be far, far more reluctant to do this in Walworth (where I was brought up) or 100 other Inner London Areas, circa 2009.

Just to put your minds at ease the guy who was shot dead prior to the news that this woman had been killed (condolences to her family) was a nasty piece of work and had a criminal record as long as your arm. This was a case of a targeted shooting whereas this latest murder is totally unrelated. The 1st due to criminal gang activity (yes crime happens everywhere and East Dulwich is no exception) and the 2nd who knows, the police are starting to investigate. They appear to have arrested people in relation to both incidents so that's good news at least.

    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
