I certainly hope not but, looking inside, the sofa and chairs have all been removed and it looks cleaned out. I hope its not connectd with the very unpleasent incident he suffered a few weeks ago. He was attacked outside on the pavement by a man with a hammer and knocked unconcious. Police attended and arrested the perpetrator and an ambulance took the barber to hospital. He was back at work after that seemingly ok but it was obviously a shocking experience. I hope he has not suffered further.

Oh that's awful! I usually get my hair cut by Jaime, haven't been for a couple of months but was planning on going soon.


To be honest I'm not surprised if he's gone - he was saying that there's more competition in the area, and rents are an issue (like everywhere around here). I can imagine his bottom line was getting pretty squeezed. If he's decided to pull stumps I kind of hope it was a business decision and not the result of something more sinister, though it's a loss of another 'traditional' business.


Ah well, the inevitable march of change...

Unfortunately, Jamie has thrown the towel in after the incident mac4 mentions above, which was the culmination of a period of harrassment by the perpetrator whose hair Jamie had cut but wasn't happy with it

During my last hair cut in mid Dec, he said that he no longer felt safe working on his own; ever increasing rents etc, didn't help either

It's a real shame as he had been there for many years and will be missed

This person must surely have been mentally ill?

I can confirm that it was the rent increase courtesy of the landlord that persuaded Jamie to pack up and close. This is what he told me. He is offering home cuts but will be coming up from the Kent coast so I presume he will do this in batches once he has enough to justify the trip. If I'm allowed to give out his number, it is 07973 469631

Why do you feel the need to say this? It's a horrible thing to have happened to Jamie whatever was going on with the perpetrator.

Yes, of course it was a horrible thing to have happened.


What in my post made you think I have anything but sympathy for the victim?


ETA: A post above says the hammer attack "was the culmination of a period of harrassment by the perpetrator whose hair Jamie had cut but wasn't happy with it".


My point was that that was not normal behaviour and therefore there may have been a reason for the attack other than pure malice and aggression. I'm sorry if I didn't express it very well, but I don't think it is irrelevant to the thread.

I really dislike the casual labelling of mental illness many people still go in for whenever someone does something they don't consider acceptable behaviour - it doesn't help the situation and just makes anyone who does have mental health problems feel even more stigmatised. I'm sure we've had this conversation before, though, and I saw someone else made a similar point on a different thread the same day.

Agreed. I was trying to point this out to Edcam.

I am not sure why you call this "casual labelling".


Could you explain?


I don't think my post was in any way stigmatising people with mental health issues.


Several of my close relatives have been hospitalised for mental illness, including one who was sectioned several times.


I think there needs to be wider discussion and awareness, not getting uptight every time mental illness is mentioned.

Casual in that you weren't involved or present, you don't know the person you're describing and yet based on very little iinformation you're making a judgement on a local online forum.


Mental illness wasn't the topic under discussion. You introduced it as some kind of judgement. Having relatives with mental health problems doesn't make you an expert it seems.

'Mental illness wasn't the topic under discussion. You introduced it as some kind of judgement. Having relatives with mental health problems doesn't make you an expert it seems.

ased on very little information?!"




Somebody has a haircut they aren't happy with, harasses the person who cut their hair and then attacks them with a hammer?


I wouldn't say that was "very little information".


ETA: And "some kind of judgement"?


How do you interpret what I said as a "judgement"?


ETA: And why do you suggest I think I'm an "expert"?


I gave some background to indicate (I thought) that I am sympathetic to and have experience of people who are mentally ill.


I really cannot understand why you are reacting to my post in this way.


From the information given on this thread, do you think the person who attacked the barber is completely well?

      Council "weed" removal

      By LordshipPain · Posted

      Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.

      No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
