Just come out of peckham pulse and there was a big crowd on the main road and lots of people running to get away. Apparently they were breaking into ladbrookes. The staff at the pulse were closing up with quite a few people still inside. We thought we'd make a dash for it to avoid being stuck in there. Sad times.
Cycling home past peckham pulse. intending to go down bellenden rd past B.King. Saw smashed bus with a row of riot police by it. People milling round with the odd rock / missile thrown by masked individual - not sure how far rye lane the trouble goes. Groups of people milling around. might need to advise those who are not online etc.

No way.

What are the odds of that?

My husband was just on a bus on the walworth road which got caught with the police on one side of it and looters on the other. The bus kicked everyone off and the looters kindly let the passangers walk back towards elephant. Choose another way home folks, not sure any buses will get down there for a while.

The Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbo's was open a quarter-hour ago -- all shutters rolled down, security personnel tapping batons into their palms outside. Erm, make that two security guards and three blokes in J Sainsbury livery, one walkie-talkie amongst the five.


If you had a tan from your holiday you weren't allowed in. Please discount that statement as well.


However, my housemate, who described the scene there in somewhat **cough** inflammatory terms, says, and this is a TRUE, that from the window of the 68 he saw three separate muggings between Burgess Park and Camberwell Green -- a moped stolen and two bicycles stolen, knocked off whilst riding and scarpered on the stolen goods.

    • No. I’ve read the Guardian and the Observer for forty-odd years but I haven’t bought a printed Observer this century; I only read them online. I haven’t bought a Saturday Guardian for at least twenty years and have bought a printed weekday Guardian twice: once when it went to a berliner format and once when it became a tabloid, just to see what they were like. I might buy an Observer one Sunday this summer to see what it’s like before it inevitably disappears for good. I subscribe to the Guardian but there is zero chance of me taking out a separate subscription for the Observer. It and the Graun have been declining in standard for a long time and are ever more padded out with lifestyle crap rather good reportage and analysis. My Guardian subscription has gone up 20% this month but its worth to me is lower than it has ever been.
    • I do like the Nunhead Gardener.  Shannon's was cheaper but that is academic.  Garden Centres have not benefited from Brexit, one reason that Shannons closed. The wildlife centre is good for native hedging, fruit trees and bushes and the like, and worth a stroll down to in any case.
    • nunhead gardener - because they are doing plants which last and give advice - you can get stuff from all over, but support local, give local people work and get some advice and the plants have lasted
