You'll break your knees making that massive leap to a conclusion. You could just as easily infer that it was a terrorist, drug dealer, kleptomaniac, Father Christmas impersonator or public schoolboy.


It must be satisfying being able to see evidence for your world view in any action, no matter whether there's any logical basis for that inference or not.

Cannot see why the Co-op would be that concerned abort people nicking some of their produce.


1/2 of it is at its use by date or over its best by date. Saves them the trouble of having to dispose of it.


Perhaps they (and other supermarkets) should have a 'Please Help Yourself' section.

Poor Lady Barnett subsequently killed herself because of the shame of the publicity.


And since she clearly didn't need to steal groceries, was probably genuinely ill or forgetful.

exactly Azira, as per my point that LIB was wearing a poacher's bag inside her coat, and yes she committed suicide by electrocution, proving that she shoplifted for kicks. Not because there was a tory covernment: however, why is it that from 5-6 pm peak time there are only 2 cashiers operating at the Coop
Sounds more like deep depression. I've worked retail security in the past and have seen it all, for kicks/laugh, desperation, need, idiocy, drunk- retail security is more about visual presence and health and safety of staff and customers.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
