Dear All, I am due to start a PGCE at Southbank University in September. I have just found out that for the first week we have to organise a placement in a primary school observing a class; the dates would be 6th-10th September (a bit tricky being the 1st week of term). Are there any teachers/parents in the area that think their school might be able to help me??? I would be grateful for any help/suggestions! Thanks.

JL.. I posted my response at the same time you were posting the apology...it's fine, can see how it could of been misinterpreted but it is difficult to describe in words his actions...which all happened very quickly! It's nice to see people's concern, I'm fine thanks, just thought it best to share especially as there are so many schools nearby. Thanks again!

Think you should be sorry to 'quibble' actually, i was trying to describe the angle at which he made a grab for me which is quite difficult in writing...the 'almost' which seems to be causing you a problem was meant by the way he was at a near parallel position (maybe just past me) and seemed to 'almost' have to turn around to grab me. If someone was to grab you in between the legs would you quibble as to whether this was an assult or not!?

I have just read the thread about the 'jogger', does sound similar, thanks for pointing it out...i have asked if the lady could give me a description. Peckhamrose, thanks for the message-i'm ok, just makes you realise you're really not safe anywhere or at any time of day!

Hi there, sorry to hear this...something similar happened to me on tuesday afternoon on East Dulwich Grove, a man grabbed me in between my legs and similarly turned round as he ran off to look at me. I also was shocked but did report the incident, the police seemed to take it quite seriously and even took my trousers for forensics. I was woundering if it was the same guy-what did he look like? This man was pretty tall, about 6'2" id say, white, medium build, mousy spikey hair about early 30s!!???

I was walking down East Dulwich Grove (towards Lordship Lane) on Tuesday 6th at 13:35 when a man came out of Thornecombe Rd and headed towards me. I had a sense that he was going to approach me, but put it down to paranoia. As he became parallel to me he almost turned around and grabbed me in between my legs. It lasted a matter of seconds and he then ran off into the housing estate, not before stopping and having a look back at me. As you can imagine I was pretty stunned, but felt it was serious enough to call the police who were there in a matter of minutes. We drove around the area but with no luck. He was a tall white man, about 6'2", spiky mousy hair, he was wearing all beige-beige sweat shirt and cambat-like trousers, he also had sunglasses on. This was a very bold attack on a busy rd and I am concerned that not only will he do it again, next time it could be in a less busy area and therefore more servere, please keep your wits about you!! The police think that he was probably a local man as he would have had to know the estate.
