If you took all the speculative threads on here to the letter, you could probably frighten yourself into a coma quite easily.

I'm sure it's safe and I'm sure it's me being an idiot.....but really, it would be nice for everyone to post about their positive experiences cos, now i is sh*****g myself, innit.

Honestly - there is nothing to worry about - if you've lived almost anywhere else in London you were more in danger walking home. I don't think anyone ever posts about the time they got a bus home and nothing happened though.


I've lived here for years, and the only trouble I've ever had was a very polite middle-class sounding mugger on Uplands Road who I pushed over a wall.

Sally, take comfort from the fact that this sort of things goes on all the time and just because some people have taken to posting everything that happens doesn't make it any worse


When I moved here 8 years ago the place was awash with police yellow signs asking for help. They stopped doing that not because the incidents stopped happening but because it made people feel jumpy


It it better to know about everything? You could make a case but when you can clearly see people on here saying ridiculous things like the place is becoming a "ghetto" well then I would argue that people are better off not posting. It doesn't seem to have helped anybody in any practical sense but it sure makes the place (and I mean the forum not the area) a lot less fun to be in


Free speech and all that means you can't STOP people posting about this stuff but it's best ignored. Spending ?30 on cabs for safety sake is no way to live a life..

Tht was me, you ****, I jut wanted to ask the time!

The incident happened 7.30ish Saturday night and was a dispute between adults, no "yoofs" were involved. It was a very heated argument which resulted in a stabbing, though no major injuries were incurred. Police were called by neighbours and the miscreant arrested within the hour.

Unless you were one of the arguing parties then it is very unlikely it would comprimise neighbourhood safety.

Sally, I'm newish to East Dulwich and agree with the person who said that no one is going to post about the time they walked from the bus stop and nothing happened. I moved here around the time that postings on incidents on Barry Road began appearing. Starting with a crash involving an Ikea lorry! If it hadn't been for this forum I would not even have heard about it. My point is that I haven't lived in another area which has such an active internet forum, thus you will hear stories like this you would otherwise be unaware of.


I moved here from Peckham (hence my imaginative username) and if it had an internet forum as active and informative as this one I don't think I would have been able to step foot out the door.

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
