a search like that certainly shows evidence of the number of hits on google if you 'do it properly'(?), but it doesn's show anything else

Seeing as this thread is about whether Peckham Rye was or was not a worse area than other areas, why not look here:


http://maps.police.uk/view/?q=se155dq&url=


It isn't explicit to stabbings but the number of crimes, makes for an interesting comparison if nothing else.

Exactly pk and stevebailey, one is random fact (google hits) and the other is a source of statistics....


It's like the Tories saying 'The no. of google hits for the word 'CRIME' has gone up exponentially since Labour has come into power.... :)


Edit to say that on my google search this link comes up on teh first page whereas i can't find anything on the actual stabbing this thread was orginially discussing.. what does that say????

it's not far off what they've done - using stats that official statisticians say should not be used for comparison purposes (due to different methods of collection) for comparison - then claiming crime increases where more reliable comparators show decreases!


and when this pointed out saying words to effect of 'well, we're going to keep using the comparisons anyway because they suit us'

Hi Jaws - I was on a bus at a standstill outside the 99p store at the time. Something was clearly going off ahead of us. Thankfully there was little evidence of it, apart from a taped off area of pavement, by the time we got moving again. I'd forgotten all about it until I saw this thread.


Horrible thing to have to witness - hope the playback is fading.

Whereas I was talking about 'single' and "double" quotation marks - see my personalised wiki page for details: Quotation Mark

I will guess that our very own Hal is "the man" on the subject of quotation marks? - I know because I have seen it on the WWW:

Hal's bit on the Web about the Qmarks - can you spot "HAL" somewhere?


The man is the local genius - no doubt about it.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
