On Saturday the boys in blue turned up in Barry Road, following an incident where some 'chancers' decided to climb scaffolding errected on a building and nicked some lead on the roof. Not contented with that property, they made their way to adjoining properties and attempted to do the same. Unfortunately they were spotted and eventually nicked.

Peckham Police officer informed me that there had been a number or burglaries in ED - some of the thieves had been caught- these were people from both the Camberwell and Peckham areas.

ED is seen to be a 'wealthy area' hence the 'tourists' see us as rich pickings.

It is indeed LB, I bought the larger of the two on offer, the smaller was 11 quid.

It's a black one and looks pretty good if I say so myself.

What I also need to share is that the a couple of weeks prior to my chop2pot board I bought a large royal blue polypropylene chopping/bread board also by the Joes.

Big solid lump of polypro it is an'all.

I'm seriously considering the colander though, it looks very handy and is probably a boon.

I think there's lead on roofs in those areas as well.


I love these imaginary chats with police officers.


They're great for backing up any groundless assumptions one might have on the internet.

I know I know. It seems harsh. But if you want the very latest in polypropylene living hinges you really can't afford to lose focus, even for a month.

A boon, yes, but tread carefully HB. They do folding and square colanders. A chap could make a grave error if purchasing without due thought.

Excellent findings, sophiesofa. This may well make the front page of the next issue. (providing there's no massive shakeup in the chopping board world, like when they brought out the Anti-Bacterial Polyethylene range back in Aug '02 - fair few late nights THAT month, I can tell you!)

Right, kids?

Thieves and scumbags are everywhere - how depressing! I think we should all stop worrying about it but keep our wits about us. Life is for living not worrying. I don't mean about past crimes mentioned on here, some sound horrible and nasty and I hope you all are ok and safe.


thebestnameshave gone I forgot to point out that it's also a smooth surface so slips around a lot and I'm surprised they haven't been recalled off the shelves - at least a few digits must have been accidentally sliced off. I remember aug 02 with fond memories.

(!?) Think you've got me confused.


On day 2 of the internet's existence someone made a student-politics reference to 'sheeple' and was shortly followed by someone else posting a Rik Young Ones photo. It's pretty much the rules.

(!?) Think you've got me confused.


Hmm, not convinced. ATBNHG = Full time PR, part time DJ. Lived in Hackney and Manc. Lots of cycling stories and short thrift for crime scares = Honk - antagonistic posts about binlids.


+ Posting "Clint Eastwood in Nunhead" story on PB after seeing it on here.


Not that I'm fussed, I quite liked Honk.


(day three of the internet - low level stalking when bored. Otherwise called "reading previous posts")

Blimey, do you have a file on everyone?


I really do think you have me confused with someone else though, Columbo. I've never lived in Hackney.

    • Leon responded quickly to my online enquiry and to follow-up texts when arranging a date for the work. He replaced a faulty switch for my outdoor sensor light. I expected it would be difficult to find an electrician willing to take on such a small job. So I was really pleased to find Leon and would definitely recommend him. 
    • I would not use anyone else, he now does my son and daughters boiler services and my own. He recently replaced a very old boiler and it all went well with a year guarantee.  Such a lovely person to deal with too. Very good value for money!  I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

    • Well why don’t you start totally backwards and have an idea as to what nursery and primary schools you want to target - plenty of good schools as you know each offering their own take.  large home - what are we talking about here 4/5 beds I assume with a large garden. North Dulwich Triangle - are you talking about Half Moon Lane and up to Herne Hill plus the other side say Stradella Road etc but don’t think your budget would stretch that far ! So really you want to reproduce what you have in and  around Abbeyville Road but  in Dulwich area to access both the good private and  state schools  - use to Live in Rodenhurst Road years ago - now they are nice big house with good gardens. How long do you want to commute to get to the City.? I assume you want to aces the city via ED Station or ND station and Denmark Hill Station. I know some people who actually cycle to work in the city - faster and not trapped in carriage like a sardine.! One would hope for the money you are considering spending, you won’t be undergoing major works. Dulwich Estate are not known to be the easiest to deal with and my recommendation if you are gonna be knocking down walls, building out or up is to get your self a good surveyor who is use to dealing with Dulwich Estate. My other suggestion would be to try out the trains in rush hour or when ever you both need to get into the City to work. Go walk in Dulwich Park and talk to the locals - that would give you an idea as well or do you have friends living locally. Houses around Telegraph Hill area would tick the boxes  and although limited with schooling might be OK. Good schools but not as much choice as Dulwich. To be perfectly  honest, with that budget and given the ages of your children why don’t you move to the country. -  much better for bringing up kids, commute would prob be under an hour depending on how far and which county. Your kids are still young so really education atm is not paramount. If moving to the country is too far a jump  then why don’t you consider maybe Beckenham or Bromley - lovely areas there as well. schools all decent to. Wishing you the best in your journey.
