I feel like I am missing out on a huge secret!I do not read newspapers ( as it is one person giving their version of the truth and I do not like the influence the media has) so I guess I shall remain in the dark about this big secret!

I think we all have a few skeletons in our closets anyway!

let's not get carried away HeidiHi - it's the South London Press we are talking about here. Calling it a newspaper is stretching things a bit


On the media thing in general, scepticism is wise but self-defeating if taken too far. Every version of any event we hear about, from any source be it paper, telly or friend is one person's version of events. So long as you treat a newspaper as a.n. other source it all helps to get a bigger picture


I trust newspapers (well - some of the grown-up ones anyway) far more than I trust ANY TV news - it frightens me to think the TV is where most people get their news from

It is a paper, it tells the news, thus newspaper!

I don't watch TV either! I only watch Strictly come dancing and Heroes and that is my lot.

I do agree that all information is someone elses version but the media DOES influence too many people and you cannot disagree there!


Ignorance is bliss and that is where I shall remain...Blissful!

Is that message aimed at me?


Then I shall remain 'silly' I have no interest in reading about every politican, celeb or Tom, Dick and Harry, I have my own life to be getting on with.

it's not silly at all, i believe buddhists state that there are 2 equally moral or valid positions when it comes to keeping abreast of stuff.


you can pay attention to the world and it's woes, involve yourself in it and do something about it. Or you can choose to ignore it all. to keep abreast of stuff and do nothing is where a lot of modern angst comes from.

Ahhh you are a wise man!! (tu) I agree exactly! I used to read papers but reading about murders, wars and such and being unable to do anything about it just got me really angry so I would rather not know! The news was worse, the amount of times I listened to all the stuff going on and being flabbergasted was not good for my blood pressure, so basically I just focus on my life and the things I have control over.

Couldn't agree more. I look forward to buying your autobiography at a later date!

    • Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian! 
    • For many years I went to Ken's on NXR.  He was pretty much the only barber  in ED  Now we have more barbers than you could shake a stick at - all the way down from the Plough through to DKH and some are empty of customers - even on the evenings and weekends.  I never ceased to be amazed that they continued to operate despite not having clients and realised that they were probably into money-laundering - just like the sweet shops along Oxford street. I went once to one on LL and certainly wasn't impressed with their. My dear wife has cut my hair ever since. I don't believe in supporting criminals. The recent BBC expose confirms this  barbers and vape shops suspected of being fronts for crime gangs - BBC News  
    • People are more likely to go back and retrace their route rather than look on the EDF.  If you’re reluctant to and them on a fence or something, perhaps you could put a note with your phone number there
    • Do you know a Spanish lady called Maria who lives in East Dulwich? My partner is helping a woman she met on Crystal Palace Road this afternoon. She seems confused and unsure where to go. She is in her late 60s, with short grey/dark hair, Black puffer jacket blue tracksuit. Apparently her daughter is also called Maria and lives locally. If anyone knows her please call me on 07980308743. Thanks, Chris
