Crime in Dulwich (Lounged)

I do wish people would be less cynical about crime on this forum. Over the last couple of months I have become a victim of a clever scam whilst out shopping. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you.

Here's how the scam works:

Two seriously good-looking voluptuous 20-21 year-old eastern european girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot. They both start cleaning your windscreen, their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy tops in a most lascivious fashion. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and instead ask you for a lift to another supermarket , in my case Sainsburys on Dog Kennel Hill.

You agree and they both get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing, and both get completely naked. Then, when you pull over to remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over your lap, kissing you, touching you intimately, and thrusting herself against you, in the meantime the other one steals your wallet!


I've now had my wallet stolen on October 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, and 29th. Also November 1st, 4th, 6th, 10th, 14th, 17th and twice yesterday. I fear this will just keep happening unless the police can stop them soon.

Hmm, not sure if crime is 'rising' in ED but, being viewed by many as a 'wealthy' area it doesnt surprise me that it is seen as a 'rich pickings' kinda place. Whether people come from other areas specifically, well, its possible, but, I would imagine there are plenty of people in the vinicity already who know where to traget. ED has not always been such a gentrified place...

Have you seen other parts of London? It's no Hampstead but people on the breadline are certainly fewer in number.


Dagenham didn't have a shop that sold ?15 colanders last time I looked.

I lived in Whalley Range...ED is basically Hollywood in comparison.

Ah, you win. My mate got kidnapped by a gang in Longsight and taken to a bank machine to empty out his bank account. They then gave him a lift to his house, where they proceeded to nick absolutely everything he owned.


Amazingly, he laughs about it now.

I worked at Oddbins in Didsbury for a time. It was ironically the most dangerous branch to work in. We got done over loads.


Anyway, er, I guess we're straying off topic (Admin, be great to have a dedicated 'Manchester' section where the 3 of us who used to live there can natter on incessantly, cheers)

Brixton isn't what you'd call a wealthy area, but Morleys sell 15 quid colanders, which just goes to show.

Joseph ones I think they are, I'll check at lunchtime and get back to you.

Hmm, maybe my 'colander index' as indicator of local wealth is a slightly flawed model.


Maybe it is more closely-linked to Nissan Figaro density in a given area.

But didn't Vanessa Feltz own one of those? That must skew the figures.

I don't how or why, but it must mean something.

Mustn't it?

Nah the Nissan Figaro index may well describe ED by quantifying the amount of people who would like to be seen as interesting by having one of those cars that look old but aren?t and who probably don?t posses the taste or ability to recognise and/or seek out a real classic.


Wealthy people have a Bentley in the garage (which rarely emerges) and a ten year old Ford Fiesta parked on the drive.

I checked at lunchtime and they are by Joseph Joseph and the handle is designed to fit over the side of the sink.

They are only 11 quid though, so as you were.

They also have folding chopping boards by the aforememntioned two Josephs and I know they're 15 quid as I bought one a while ago.

HB - I have done some investigating for you and have discovered the chop2pot chopping board. It uses the latest technology in polypropylene living hinges, and when the handle is squeezed the board folds into a chute to guide chopped and diced ingredients into the pot. It's made by Joseph x2 as well and costs ?14.95. Is this is the one you bought? Readers deserve to know!

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...

      Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
