Christ Xena, I thought my school were martinets.

They used to beat the crap out of us, bet never actually removed body parts.

The school of hard knocks indeed.

it was indeed HonaloochieB and all I did by mistake to receive this punishment was fall off a cliff face on a school climbing holiday


That Mr Black was a real hard nut and took punishment to extremes but it didn't do me no 'arm !!!

Can I just ask - how bored are you exactly ?

I suspect your observations have been made at night when there is a higher percentage of drunks rolling out of the various pubs and bars on Lordship Lane. Alternatively it could be the number of people who go running down Lordship Lane without proper running training and thus are now carrying injuries. I suggest you contact a local physiotherapist for their thoughts on the matter.

Next you'll be telling us you've just spotted a 3-legged Australian go past by the name of Jake The Peg.

Don't be silly.


But the count since my last post (And I'm afraid I failed to check the whole time) is:


1 man and 1 woman with sticks (left leg)

1 man with a stick (right leg)

1 woman with 2 sticks (both legs)

1 woman with crutches


Add those to the ones I posted earlier and you've got to admit. That's a lot of dodgy legs in one day.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises 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
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
