Hi there, Just in case someone has too many coat hangers they no longer need. Thanks!

I thought the Albrighton community fridge would take frozen food. I don't have a car otherwise I would have helped.

happened again this evening with a young lady being attacked by two young 5"8' black 14-16 yr olds. Think the lady was coming up Oglander from the station. Please beware and astute when travelling down quieter roads in the area....Police arrived quickly but another lady who saw them run off experienced a similar incident with the same youths the other day. Apparently there is another thread on the forum but couldnt find it. Had her phone nabbed but thankfully the more valuable bags were left after she put up a fight. Furious this happened - let alone in front of my young kids...

Found a wallet on Lordship Lane near the post office last week. Let me know if you think it's yours.

Nozchik, do you mean you saw that woman on Friday? But the WLGs are not even open on a Friday.... :(

Some guy did something similar to my Brother a while ago - but it was request for petrol money...anyway out of for some reason my bro gave this guy a tenner, with the promise it would be returned the following day - only never to see him again... that was until 6 months later when the same guy knocked on the door with the same story. In consequence he then got chased down the road.....think that says it all poppy bees

funny you should say that - I had a reporter contact me from the South London Press about wanting to do a story on this...so as you say Nero - from small acorns and all that - it will be interesting to see comes of this. Lets wait and see what happens next week...

I posted this so they will know why they are suddenly receiving countless (hopefully) emails on the subject... Dear Sir/Madam, I recently posted a comment on the East Dulwich Forum, http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,324455 about overnight lighting in your lordship lane office. There has been a positive response to my comments and I am sure that your positive action to reduce your carbon footprint would be well received by the local community. I look forward to hearing your response

Read the book 'operation zigzag' - a fascinating book on the most effective and important british double agent during WWII. The Nazis relied on local intelligence to confirm that central london was being hit - 'ZigZag' got them to subtly adjust the trajectory away from the city - and guided them on to Dulwich area in order to reduce impact while still making the Nazis believe that targets were being destroyed... the book explains that among many other fascinating stories. I read it in two days flat.

Having had a positive response to this can I suggest that we all email the below text (Dan - hope you dont mind me copying this) to Dulwich@foxtons.co.uk Dear Sir, I write in relation to your branch on Lordship Lane although this issue may well be true of other Foxtons branches. I and many others have noticed that your shop front and office space remain fully lit well into the evening and quite possibly right through the night. I assume that this must be down to company policy rather than forgetful staff? If it is the former, I would be grateful if you would provide me with the contact details of the company director most able to effect a change in company policy. Wasting energy in this way is a social nuisance, environmentally irresponsible, and financially ridiculous. I would therefore like to challenge the thinking behind this policy and hopefully stimulate a change that will be of benefit to everyone. If this is not a company wide policy then I would be interested to understand the reasoning behind this managerial decision. Alternatively simply switch the lights off when you lock up. I look forward to hearing back from you. Regards, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was walking past foxtons at about 10pm this evening and was flabbergasted at the number of lights illuminating the internal office space (must be 60 spot lights +++), let alone the flourosecent hoardings, TV screens and illuminated fridges lighting up lordship lane... Now I understand shops like to advertise both their brand/service, but surely they must have some environmental ethos about their operation? Im not asking them to be martyrs for our planet, but I just want to know why they bother lighting up the whole office - especially when so much of it remains empty...? Surely in the era of the dulwich eco bag etc we should make a rallying call against this silly waste...and get them to do their bit..so here's mine; Foxtons - if you are reading this - PLEASE TURN (some of) YOUR LIGHTS OUT! (p.s. it could have been that the cleaner was in their or something - but I don't really want to go back outside at 12pm at night to check)
