Being interrupted in the quiet study area of Dulwich Library at 7.30pm by a member of staff entering the room and broadcasting to everyone that the library will be closing at 8pm (They do this every day, to enable them to lock up & go home at 8pm)

If the library closes at 8pm, what is the problem with the staff letting people know in plenty of time so that the library can actually be closed at 8pm?

All pretty needless in imho

I haven't worked out how to attach links on the mobile version. That's enough to cause rage, but this is for the person on the ED part of the site upset about the price of vegetable juice.


Very Easy Dulwich BTW 🙂

 

Very Easy Dulwich?


🤣

I just tried to delete that last post because I posted it twice by mistake.


I was asked to give the forum mods the reason, which I did.


Then I got a message saying that this forum did not allow posts to be deleted 🙄


Now I've got rage 🤣


ETA: But the post does seem to have been deleted. So now I'm just confused 🤣

When I’m in the queue for the self checkouts and I can see there are checkouts available but the people at the front of the queue just stand there.

 

When I'm in the only manned checkout queue and there's 10 people also in the queue but other staff look then wander off without opening another one.


Some people don't like / can't/ won't use the self checkouts

Those obviously vertigo-suffering bus passengers who refuse to go upstairs, even just to look for a seat, and instead join their allegedly claustrophobic friends who just won’t move down the bus. Worst of them are the exit-door crowders.

Not a tiny thing and not irrational but whatever:


Car drivers on their mobile phone! Couple of weeks ago I was cycling up to edge of a T-Junction to turn right into Crystal Palace Rd. from Crawthew Grove when one car came round from the left cutting the corner, then another one tailgaiting the first also cut the corner even more so and oblivious to my presence because he was on his F*ing mobile phone.


Even when I was forced to swerve out the way, he only had eyes for the car in front and his hand-held mobile phone!

    • I thought it was lovely, thank you for sharing 😊
    • They are very good
    • Having  current and relevant experience of both Charter North and Charter East with regards to their conduct towards SEN pupils and their families, I would say that their conduct and behaviour is wholly lacking in understanding as well as making no effort to make reasonable adjustments for the SEN pupil as legally required under Equality Act 2010. Furthermore, I believe that their behaviour is wholly illegal. According to data from Ambitious About Autism, unfortunately that is not uncommon We have separately requested legal advice as to whether or not the specific conduct of the school and certain teachers constitutes a criminal offence under the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 or other legislation. These links have some very good materials to assist parents: https://www.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk https://www.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk/understanding-autism/education/exclusions-know-your-rights https://www.ipsea.org.uk https://sossen.org.uk   Also, this link specifically for girls with autism as this tends to be diagnosed at a much later stage than boys and requires different support and reasonable adjustments that the neither of the policies nor behaviours of Charter East or Charter North reflect. https://autisticgirlsnetwork.org   Helen Hayes MP for Dulwich & West Norwood and whose constituency includes Charter North is Chair of the Education Committee at the Houses of Parliament They published this report on the SEND crisis on 18 Sept 2025 https://committees.parliament.uk/work/8684/solving-the-send-crisis/   Ellie Reeves (Rachel Reeves’ sister and formerly Chair of the Labour Party) is the MP for Lewisham West and East Dulwich - the constituency under which Charter East falls I would urge any parents who are concerned about their children, whether SEN or not, who attend Charter North or Charter East to write to your MP canvassing their support and requesting that they write to their respective school on this subject, referencing this report of the Education Committee and the failures of Charter East and Charter North with regards to SEN, their illegal behaviour and soliciting a plan of action from them to immediately stop such behaviour and support SEN pupils with reasonable adjustments as required under the Equality Act 2010. Even if your child is not SEN, the school implementing the correct and legally required procedures materially improves the school environment for all pupils, teachers and non-teaching staff. Often the reasonable adjustments can actually be relatively minor but have a very material benefit. In our experience, there have been one or two teachers who have shown this with very positive results; however, this is the opposite of the institutional approach of both schools which is wholly negative, unsupportive and often illegal. In addition to EHCPs, there is also huge pressure at CAMHS and insufficient resource to support all cases and meet demand.  Even if families and their child are lucky to get access to it, there remains very long wait lists to access treatment.  The same is true in the private sector. A proactive and practical, common sense approach to SEN in this manner by Charter North and Charter East would also help to reduce pressure on CAMHS The latest tragedy last week at Charter North means that this is more pressing than ever.    
    • Thought I'd add a comment as sadly there are now too many primary schools for the number of children in this area... St Anthony's is a wonderful school and my 2 sons were extremely happy throughout the time they were there. They have some open days for reception and  nursery in Nov I believe and welcome children and families of all faiths and backgrounds. It has lovely staff and I cannot recommend it more highly!
