My husband and I were walking to Dulwich Park Sunday morning (about 8.30am) and we crossed over from Goose Green so we could continue up Lordship Lane There was a young black guy standing near the bus stop (opposite Goose Green) standing next to his bicycle. When you got close to him you could see that he had a triangular piece of material positioned across his face so you could only see his eyes. I passed him first but as my husband did, he went right up to my husband's face in a threatening "stand off" manner My husband just got out of his way and when we both looked around he got on this bike and began to follow us. We did not want to encourage him by looking around and eventually he cycled off. I know nothing happened to us but it was quite upsetting. I just thought I would mention it because had I been on my own, I would have felt quite scared.

Hey I would still be inclined to report what happened to you to the police as you never know if the same person has done this to others and there maybe someone that he has actually done something to physically... if this is a repeat action, they are likely to be on watch for this same individual... believe it or not, a colleague and I were mugged just outside the Festival Hall, Waterloo... what had transpired, was the same person had done the same to others....

Police got a good description of him as I stupidly went after him... Years later, I actually saw him selling the Big Issue outside a mainline train station - I can only presume bad turned good !!! Hope you never have to undergo something like this again as it is frightening for sure...

    • I personally, just lost respect as this is not the time to.disrupt hospitals and put additional strain on stretched resources.  BBC News - Doctors vote to go ahead with this week's five-day strike https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c246dnyjylqo
    • I'm guessing that most people with pets would not bring either the pets or fireworks into their day to day conversations, to complain or otherwise. Are you suggesting that only "timid" pets are scared by fireworks? What evidence do you have for that, exactly?  Or are you equating being scared of fireworks with being "timid"? And what about the foxes and other wildlife? Is it ok for them to be scared? Firework noise is not a noise that "comes with normal city living" ! What a very strange thing to say! Are you one of the people who have been constantly letting off fireworks recently? I'm assuming you don't have any pets yourself, or you wouldn't have these opinions, but if you do have pets, please share how they react when they hear loud bangs. Unless they are goldfish, in which case you probably wouldn't be able to tell.
    • Well, I know a lot of people in London with pets and I've never heard any of them complain about fireworks.  Maybe what's not ok is keeping timid animals in a metropolis when they are scared of the noises that come with normal city living.
    • We git a ticket when we tried to park there to watch the fireworks.  Anyways we didn't even get a space and so we didn't actually park.  But we got a penalty notice.  We just paid up.  And we won't be taking our car their ever again.  You probably needed a Southwark council visitors permit.  I imagine it would have needed to be booked online B4 or by the end of the day that you parked. Beat thing to do is contact Southwark Council Estate parking to clarify the situation.   I hope your freebie was worth the value of your penalty.
