Yup, she is GOOD at this. Mind you, she's had years of practise! She's probably loaded, frankly. And yes, she does look the part. Sober, smiley, apparently embarrassed... Of course you think you might be being scammed, you also think, 'what if she's in trouble...' and that little bit of doubt and human kindness is exactly what she exploits.

It depends what your aim is.


Taking a photograph will be good evidence of that person's having been on your doorstep, and might also be useful to the police in making an identification.


But if it's a prosecution that's wanted, it could well be that the evidence of more than one victim is needed. If that were the case, publishing a photograph here would probably scupper the value of any other person's subsequent assertion that they'd been done by the same perpetrator. It is not even certain that there is just one.


It would also be the case that any photograph published here would most probably amount to a serious defamation. Defending any libel action can be very expensive and stressful, and not necessarily successful.


And then there's the possibility of actual harm done to the person by the publication. You might want to argue that, however it pans out, it's all they deserve. You might still find it regrettable if it turned out that you'd made a mistake about their honesty.

if this is the same woman who used to pretend to get locked of of her house(''round the corner'') and needing to pay a locksmith before he could access her house, she hit nutbrook street two years ago and was prosecuted for fraud as a result. Seems she's back with a different tale. What a cheek. Tell the police neighbourhood team she's back- they know where she lives.

Is...


Is this the same woman asking for money for her child's sponsorship form? Identity sounds the same. She's not aggressive however she is quite persistent in her conviction. Sometimes she has children with her.... The school sponsorship form was for a local primary so I gave them a call and they were aware of her activities but said she wasn't a parent and they didn't know who she was. (Mrs W**F gave her the "cold jug" as it were at the door so she never came back here funnily enough)


A neighbor also got an early morning knock at the door (6.30am) asking for ?50, she was crying, saying she couldn't heat the house because her electricity meter had run out and her baby was hungry and cold.


Another sucked in punter sadly....?

What would your advice be, Judge woof? Perhaps she could be locked up and the key thrown away? Perhaps hanging's too good for her? Would you say it's indicative of the broken society we live in?

Yeah...



I think I have an idea who this might be (indirectly)


She treats it as her "job" I'm told



(and yes, drugs are the main driving force)



It's not for me to judge her, plus I don't go in for silly knee jerk justice


But she is taking money by deception

This lady knocked on my door today, 24 June 2010. Mcdowall rd se5.

She is black, tall, slim and smart. She was very embarassed to be disturbing you, almost crying and in need of money for the electric meter. She said her name was Lisa and she lived a few doors down across the rd. She was totally believable and asked for ?22. Lots of eye contact and apologetic.

A great performance, a pro con artist.


She will get caught one day.

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
