Please keep this factual and about things that affect East Dulwich.

Please don't discuss what's going on, just report them.

Irrelevant posts will be removed.

Other threads about the same topic will be deleted or moved to the Lounge.



And taken from TJMP's post


"Here are the key messages from the police that they would be grateful if everyone could heed and pass on:

? Parents and guardians should know where their children are and they should be at home tonight

? Onlookers should go home as they are hampering the police operations

? If you see something suspicious dial 999 "


Please discuss the issues in general and the going on in other areas such Camberwell, Tottenham and Peckham in the Lounge.

Administrator,


What is wrong with discussing areas around East Dulwich too when this is a highly fluid situation???? Something that happens on rye lane is likely to move within minutes to East Dulwich. Are you being pedantic or is there some legal reason for this stipulation?

if you shove everything together gk it becomes a great mess with one person talking about something on the other side of london to someone else talking about something entirely unrelated to the local area. Great confusion then comes about and could potentially cause panic and stress to readers quite unnecessarily. I aint no clever clogg but it dont take to much to figure out.


Sorry Admin -


I'm hearing whistles from lordship lane... anyone know what that's about?

I am all for only be factual but I do think that "riot events" in surrounding areas (Camberwell, Peckham etc) have a direct bearing on ED residents and should, for this purpose only, be allowed in this section. It affects how people travel home to ED etc so it is relevant.


Hope you reconsider.

If it affects ED then yes fine but keep it factual and useful. Now that was six posts of total useless information for everyone wasn't it. So then, back to facts about what's happening that is affecting East Dulwich...

I was in Sainsbury's on Dog Kennel Hill about 50 minutes ago. One of the main door panels had been smashed and was being boarded up and the whole of Starbucks and the far exit had shutters down.


Had been there maybe 10 minutes when a store announcement came over tannoy asking customers to leave all shopping and evacuate immediately.


Cue mild panic. Staff rushing to empty and secure tills. Parents looking worried. Kids screaming.


Second announcement to reassure people that there wasn't a situation out front, but that they were closing early (at 1.50ish pm) as a precaution.


Cue tutting and eye-rolling and few people trying to go back in to finish their shopping.


As I left, I heard three (separate, unrelated) people say it was in response to reports of a large mob headed to the store. No idea if that bit's true, but the staff and security at the door looked very twitchy and clearly wanted to get everyone out sharpish.

...althought to be fair kalamitykel, camberwell, peckham and forest hill hardly constitute 'the other side of london'. They're right next door and worth keeping an eye on, as I said before, due to the fluidity of the situation. I'd argue that including them in an ED thread does not create 'great confusion' but could lead to a more comprehensive picture of what's going on.

I was in Sainsburys also about an hour ago and I have to say, that you have just completely exaggerated!

Yes they told everyone to start leaving, so that they could put the shutters down. But there were no children screaming!?


Anyway, I walked down lordship lane to get home and nearly every shop is closed or closing, so if anyone has plans to go there. I'd say dont bother.

    • If you are referring to me you don't have to pay to read my reviews and I'm not even sure if you have to sign up. If that feels too sinister you can just click on the links as far as I know, but the difference is if you sign up you receive the - free - reviews by email whenever they appear. Quite a useful - free - service I think. I'm not going to spam the EDF every time I run a review, but here's a link to the site as I've run a few new reviews in the last few weeks. https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/
    • Contrasts with my experience at Health Matters last week  who took me straight to it with 3 different versions 
    • I went to get psyllium husk (which I pronounced very clearly and even pointed to my stomach, reflexively) but was taken by the assistant - whose face showed puzzlement for a few seconds - to the selenium section..! When I said it was not what I was looking for I had to explain what it’s used for and was then pointed to their product which was in tablet form - not what I was after. I’m much keener on places that know what’s what but at least I gave it a go…
    • The voters in these redwall seats all complain of a broken Britain etc etc - yet see no connection between the  country voting tory for 14 years and those towns voting for Brexit despite being warned it would lead to problems - they just moan about everything - often quite correctly (services are expensive or being cut, roads are a state, housing is expensive etc etc) but when you ask them when things were better.. well the answer is either    a) under a labour government when we part of the EU or b) some fictional Facebook sepia tinted picture of Britain "when you could leave your front door open, we didn't know how lucky we were" Voters say they want the truth but when someone sane (if dull and sometimes wrong) gets into power and says "lads, things are worse than we realised" they bleat about a lack of instant fixes and say it's wrong to keep blaming the last government (despite the lie about Labour crashing the economy in 2008 STILL being a stick labour get beaten with in 2025) as for rejoining the EU - the barriers are immense - you have a press and a large portion of the population that will behave just abysmally. You have an electorate that recognises the mistake but is all very English and "made out beds, mustn't grumble" etc etc - no backbone. And you have an opposition party (or two) that is plain bonkers and when labour do lose power they would renege/reverse any progress made in matters EU in seconds Meanwhile EU countries can see all this clearly and have no incentive to engage until this country grows up and is able to demonstrate they won't act hysterically when reintegration starts
