Is Goose Green ED's new kerb crawl hotspot? (Tooting Common)


Recommended Posts

A man in a car slowed down and drove along next to me and asked if I was 'doing business' as i walked home on East Dulwich Grove the other night. (to clarify, my attire didn't exactly scream 'lady of the night.')

I told him to F off and he drove off.

I used to live near Bayswater a number of years ago. If you walked around after 11-ish you would get loads of girls in the area calling out 'want to do some business, luv'. I used to just say, 'No thanks' and go on my way.


I never ever thought to say F off.

Hmm, no matter how slowly I drive past goose green I never get any women coming over to speak to me. Maybe Saturday morning with a baby in the back isn't the right modus operandi.

Anyway, a quick check of punternet ought to sort out the ED v Tooting competition.

Might not have been such a good idea to get your username embroidered on your sweatshirt!

I've been propositioned twice now by men in cars - one by hsbc and one at texaco petrol station who was horrible to me(thanks by the way to the other man who checked I was okay after he'd gone, I really appreciated it; the forum was down at the time otherwsie would have posted sooner). May sound trivial but i was quite shaken up afer the second one. and no, i was not all dolled up at either time - was on way back from gym.

It's part of the London Culture, seedy men, propositioning women on the street. Just make sure, if your alone at night, to have your phone always fully charged, keep your house keys round your nuckles, just incase anyone approaches you, you can knock em out.


Oh yea, Tooting is massive for this kind of thing.

Suffering low estime at a fiver, with your length of limb and amusing erudition you should never take less than a ton.

    • Hi. I hope everyone is well. I’m just wondering if anyone in the East Dulwich area has a working VHS/DVD Combi unit that records from VHS to DVD.  Or if anyone is willing to allow me to borrow or lend it for a time until I get all my videos transferred over. I am looking for a few on eBay but either they do not have the recording function or they are just too expensive.  If anyone can help I would be so grateful.  My current one which is a Sharp make started recording fine after years of not being used, then all of a sudden it stopped and hasn’t worked since. When I put a tape in and try, the machine shuts down, and the play button on the remote seems stuck. Thank you to anyone in advance that would be so kind enough to help xx
    • A quick update - my InPost parcels are being accepted sporadically at Barry's, but only one at a time and every few days, after many refusals - one was refused SEVEN times over about ten days - and several phone calls. As a comparison, I had a message from Yodel that a parcel that was going to Barry's is being delivered to another nearby store, which is interesting...
    • The "Community Benefits" are documented on P12-16 of the Consultation Document. Basically unsubstantiated estimates that it benefits local businesses, claims that it provides "opportunities" for local food traders, businesses & people (the term "opportunities" being meaningless - I have opportunities to win the lottery) without any details, facts or figures, and discounted tickets for local residents (which unsurprisingly seldom sell out). The only direct financial benefit to the Park is a £1000 "Biodiversity Fund" and an undisclosed amount for an "Environmental Impact Fee" - looking at how it was spent this year (flower beds in the playground & Sexby garden) I suspect it would be a similarly small figure. The actual site hire fee - claimed as "commercially sensitive" and therefore undisclosed - is spent on: • Funding the council’s free events programme and Cultural Celebrations Fund • Subsidised fees for community events in the borough • Off-setting the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of the free community events programme  Again, no details given, just vague concepts - can anyone name any of these free & subsidised community events? Or what the "Cultural Celebrations Fund" is or does? It doesn't really sound like any of it is worth  the disturbance, restrictions, noise, litter, environmental damage and negative impact on wildlife in our Park.  
    • The organisers must have spent a fortune on the display..imagine how p**s*d off they must have been!!!! Blink and you missed it kind of thing
