I have spent the afternoon reading about horrible things that have happened in Peckham...but is it better in Dulwich. I have been living in East Dulwich for about 1 month and I love it, but sometimes at night (as in London) I feel a bit nervous and I have seen some relatively scary looking character....


Thanks,


A

Funnily enough, I saw a slightly scary-looking character this afternoon. Oddball wearing heavy black leather gloves (in June), marching up and down LL, arms swinging to the extreme, as if he were a para on exercises (twice as fast as anyone else), talking and shouting to himself, hitting a wall with his fists, burying his face in his hands. I just crossed the road.


When in doubt, just cross the road.

No it's not they are both CRACK PITS bubbling with the drying spunk of debauched summer fete's - I suggest you move NOW, grab your things and go , go now i tell you. Leave your Radio times and your prized collection of wooden mushrooms and get the hell out of dodge while you still can.

Hello hanay008


As you may have gathered by now, this forum is a hotbed of wit and hilarity. Welcome to our little community, and take it all with a pinch of salt...


Someone asked a very similar question recently and got lots of slightly more sensible answers than you seem to be getting today, I'm just digging around to see whether I can find it.

Yes.. beware Moos.


One minute she's helpfully digging around for a useful old thread, the next minute she's following you back from the pub, rendering you unconscious with a chloroformed hanky, chopping you up into tiny pieces and selling you as 'bush meat' out of the back of the Sparkes van.

i am actually really worrying for you - does anyone know what you look like ? just keep to public spaces, if those liberals get onto you then you really are in trouble. They will have you flying the orange rosette before you can say "vince cable, aunty mable"


oh and welcome.

Are you safe in Dulwich? Recently, when I came home from work and opened the front door a strange stillness greeted me. Usually the sound of the key in the door has my three year old hurtling towards me like an over-excited puppy, shouting "Daddy, Daddy" but this time, nothing. Stepping into the hall I could hear her mother moving around upstairs, but saw my youngest through the open door of the front room lying slumped on the sofa, her eyes staring straight ahead as if transfixed. I moved over to her and bent down to greet her when, catching me off balance, a sudden kick to the side of my head knocked my glasses off and left me momentarily stunned; through my confusion I could hear mocking laughter. Slowly, as the throbbing in my temple began to recede, the full realisation began to dawn on me- never, NEVER stand between the TV and a three year old when she's utterly absorbed in 'Dora the Explorer'. And her sister was no better- just thought the whole thing was hilarious.


A grumpy toddler can be a volatile thing, and they don't call East Dulwich 'Nappy Valley' for nothing...

I have lived in ED & surrounding areas for years Walworth/Camberwell was how shall we say the "sauciest"(we were burgled 4 times) However ED felt the safest. Now I used to live in the beautiful & peaceful town of Arundel "The jewel of West sussex" except one night 3 guys in a car drove up the pavement running me down, 2 of them then set about me with a broken bottle & a socket wrench trying to f****ng kill me in essence. Yes I am still here to tell the tale & hand on heart I have seen more fights, violence and nasty behavior in small country towns then I have in the 22 odd years living in this fantastic city. I do think the way you carry your self , your personal demeanor & self awareness is what keeps you out of most trouble wherever you plot up.


Oh and stop reading the Daily(hate) Mail/Sth london(who's stabbed who) press......it's enough to scare anybody.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.

This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system.
