I forgot to mention I was dressed as a policeman.


You should have seen the amount of 'spotted: policeman' threads up here last night. Mental.

I saw a man near Goose Green night who definitely had that 'comtemplating kicking a door in' look on his face.


I followed him for a good 5 miles around South London before he got on a bus and I lost him. : (

Caroline Phillips-esque musings in the London Evening Standard. Helen Kirwan-Taylor writes about muggings in the Capital...


"... a fellow mother at my son's school in sleepy St John's Wood was mugged for her Rolex in front of the school gates with all the mothers watching....One of the other mothers was even trying to pull him off."

you see, it isn't just ED that is er, WRACKED BY CRIME

That's so funny! I'm laughing so hard because I live near Goose Green and in the middle of the night someone did get into my house and managed to go through everything and take stuff (including our wallets and passports). My child was asleep alone in his bedroom and a "for real" bad person was in my house and I didn't know it. Isn't that a hoot? And a few days later a "for real" bad person kicked in my next door neighbors' doors, and took all of their stuff including computer equipment holding an entire career's worth of work. Oh my god so funny, a real knee slapper.


Crime happens here. Nasty crime with real victims. Maybe you could just feel glad that you have been lucky so far?

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
