I'm confused... the other thread in the lounge actually bothered to mention what the "incident" was compared to this rather empty thread and yet was locked... hmmm



I must say it's a little late to be having the police helicopter out circling the area don't you think... at least half an hour after reports came flying (excuse the pun) in.

They caught one of the guys who had been stabbed over on my street a few minutes ago. I had walked past them a couple of minutes before not knowing something was up and steered clear. His hand was bleeding quite heavily. There were 4 police vans and an ambulance. And then they went through our rubbish bins (me peering out the window, excitedly). It was just like CSI

Haven't been here in a while.


If you are planning to get a bus or go up or down LL for the next hour or so don't bother. It's closed off between pistachio and foxtons and traffic is going way back.


There was a gang, a loud scream, blood everywhere on a guy, two stabbings. One guy tried to run away and get on a bus. Another teenager tried to run but the cops jumped him.


What is ED coming too?:-S

I was on the roof when I took that photo! Pinned down on the slates as I made the ultimate sacrifice of holding on with one hand so I could take a photo, even though I was being bounced up and down by the full furry of the chopper blades.. Phew!! I don't even think that photo is on Sky News yet!! ;-)

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
