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!

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will.  He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process.  The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old.   Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high.  There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US.  It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight.  The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter.  These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer.  Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA.  We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter.  So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication.  There could be an immediate response to his questions.   Help!

      Selective licensing for rentals extended

      By malumbu · Posted

      Labour should be applauded for bringing in the Renter's Rights Act.  But so many of you are carried away with slagging them off. Married couples with busy lives sometimes forget who did what. On this occasion Mr Rachel Reeves was sorting out the rental agreement.  Ms Reeves was a bit flumoxed with all the grief/demonsing/witch hunts she is getting so forgot to check with her other half.   Not the first or last time this will happen with couples. (That's not having a go at the post above)
