Dear Shirley As a concerned tax paying member of East Dulwich, could you please ask members of your constabulary inform me what is the best flavour frappucino on this month? The only reason i ask is i don't have time to go there and try them myself, and your officers seem to be getting through a generous amount of the over priced ice and milk combos, so was hoping you might have some insider info. PS how is the murder investigation in Barry Rd going? Thoughts?

Mikecg thanks for the heads up brother. Please write me when i am send down as the East Dulwich 1! PS please don't send me soap on a rope, even as a joke

Maybe when you or one of your family are shot in the head, it might mean something then? Until that time there is a little trait called empathy you might want to take a large pinch and sniff of. Oh wait. I forgot, because you and your family aren't black, or gang members, it wouldn't happen to you right?? :-S

Bit of both. Seriously, if they are on "break" then great...i am not a cop and don't knwo what a police break comprises of, but if anyone can illuminate me before i head over there tomorrow looking for trouble and mouthing off about taxes going up in warm milky frothe and cinnamon, i would appreciate it as i don't want to see the business end of a policeman's truncheon again if i can help it.

Don't even try and turn this into a police bashing thread. I love the cops. I'm just wondering how on earth so many of them seem to be in Starbucks everyday. If they want a break, no problem, is that's what they are doing? Thats what im trying to understand here! Jesus

Dulwich Fairy you obviously have very good sources as no one knows whether or not this was a black guy shooting this kid. Or are you just assuming it must have been a black guy doing the shooting?

LOL but seriously - has anyone seen this? I thought initially "ok they are off duty, it's their own time, no problem" but the more i think about it, the more i think "if they are off duty, shouldn't the police vehicles be back with the morning squad?" Something is rotten in Denmark (Hill) and i intend to get to the bottom of it

WTF is going on? This has been going on for months. Every morning i walk buy and see between 1 and 5 police cars/vans parked up with between 2 and 12 officers sipping lattes in Starbucks in Sainsburys on DKH. If they are off duty, shouldn't they be down the nick with the police vehicles handing them over to the morning shift? I'm getting sorely tempted to bowl in and ask them if this is how my taxes are being spent, when they aren't being used to bail out banks that f**ked up the economy. Anyone else seen this?

I wouldn't call them lightweights, but it's like, "do you actually know where you live?" It's common sense to me, i guess others don't see that past their frothy latte and sunday brunches at Blue Mountain?

Yes i agree it's a shame if Ann Summers decides to set up shop in LL. What we REALLY need is a full blown XXX shop, like Harmony (something tasteful, but still does bukkake videos). If anyone from the Harmony chain is reading this, how about a little consultation and feasibility study work?

What i don't get is why so many people on this thread are questioning why and how this sort of thing can happen here. We live in London. We live in SE London. Just because we have a Foxtons, Cafe Nero, popular "village" butchers and fishmongers, and 30 something mothers pushing kids round in Bugaboos does not make this part of London immune to, well, London. Anyone wondering how this can happen here is naive, probably hasn't lived here for long, and probably isn't from London born and bred. Frankly, considering where we live, i'm surprised this sort of thing doesn't happen more often. Condolences to this kid and his family, if any of them are reading this.

Well blow me two sheets sideways, and there was me just proclaiming ED had lost it's "edginess"!

Is Burgess Park and Europes largest Latin American carnival on the radar of most East Dulwichians radars?
