I used Tony today for bit of an emergency job and he was swift, accommodating, professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend his service. It's good to meet reliable and solid trades people.

that's a great idea I will check with them

Thanks I have just updated the post

Today my daughter who is 12 (but looks younger)and her friend (same age) were queuing to get into M&S on Lordship lane to get a sandwich at lunchtime (they were doing school work at her friends house on Upland Rd so it is literally across the road). A strange guy behind them made some lewd comments about them and told the girls they had 'potential'. A guy in front of them told the man to go away and he did. The man is white, around 6 ft tall, short brown hair, brown eyes (she thinks), a distinctive scar on his forehead and he was smoking. Can anyone else who has has any other incidents today please get in touch with me? I'm trying to see if he was spotted anywhere else where we can grab CCTV footage as it is really important that the police have an image of him. This guy is right here in our community so please be vigilant and find a way to explain to your kids to be careful.

hi emc, i'm not quite at that stage yet but my best mate is and has been using match.com and has been on some hilarious dates. she hasn't found love but has found lots of laughs. anyway, it's good to know i'm not the only single parent in the area. was beginning to think i was living on a movie set!

Hi cherry - I doubt that you're still visiting the ED Forum after the reponse that you received (a little intimidating may I say) but I hope you are as I joined the forum for the same reason as you. I have an 8 month old daughter and frequent just about every baby playgroup in the area and have many friends in the area - all of whom are 2 parent families. It is human nature though to want to know people in the same situation as yourself and I refuse to believe that we are the only single parents in ED! I agree that the ED forum is prob not best place to meet other single parents but I tried calling Gingerbread and their represntative in Dulwich has never returned my calls so that's a dead end. If you're still checking the forum, get in touch.
