Organic health warning

Hello everyone


I am not resident in East Dulwich, though I have lived here previously, but I felt that the incident I am about to detail was so serious that people in the area should be made aware of it.


I was standing outside a shop waiting to go into Tandoori Nights last Wednesday evening at around 730pm. On seeing my dining companion come down the road I suddenly heard a shutter fall and felt someone charge into my back. I turned around and saw a small man glaring at me. As I stood there debating how to handle the situation - I was still trying to register the motive of the shove at the time, but in hindsight it was clearly both deliberate and incredibly aggressive - he began repeating 'Are you gonna do sumfin?? Are you gonna do sumfin?". Genuinely fearing I was about to be attacked in front of my companion (who was coming up the road and saw the whole incident) I turned away, which is when the individual asserted (and I quote):


'Don't stand outside my f*****g shop then you c**t".


Thankfully, and presumably on seeing me greet my companion and realizing I had just been standing outside waiting for her and meant no harm, he then carried on walking up Lordship Lane.


The incident left me shaken and wondering what in God's name had just happened. I was then astonished, and actually very amused despite the circumstances, to discover that I had not had the misfortune of choosing to stand outside a local drug dealer's house or scrap metal merchants (no offence to any of the latter who might be reading this) but had in fact been outside a local organic health food retailer - namely SMBS Foods. This person, presumably, was its owner or a senior partner in the enterprise (perhaps its marketing manager).


As I say, I was left genuinely shaken and would be surprised, having read some reviews of the place, if this was the first time it (or something comparably unpleasant) had happened - and amazed if something similiar didn't happen again in the future.


I am grateful that this incident did not escalate and please beware if standing anywhere near this shop even when closed. And make sure you know your produce as I fear for the safety of anyone who asks for some unstocked cardamom infused almond butter.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
