Ladies: Be on the lookout (avoid this man on the train)

Hello,


It's a bit of a strange one, however given that this happened to me this morning I thought I would put a bit of a warning out.


I was on the train this morning coming back to ED from London Bridge. Despite the empty seats all around, a guy walked past and then came back and sat diagonally across from me. He was visually impaired, as he had very thick glasses and carried a white stick (although wasn't using it), very scruffy, late 40's and carrying a huge Lidl shopping bag. I suddenly felt something touch my leg, thought nothing of it and moved my legs further away from him (giving benefit of the doubt that he had just knocked me by accident). Then all of a sudden I felt this thing rubbing up and down my leg. I looked down and the bloke had removed his shoe and was feeling my legs. He pulled his foot away quickly when I looked up and then stared at me for ages. I was too startled to move at the time but then went to the doors after composing myself! He also got off at ED and crossed the road and walked in to the road opposite where the development is.


I don't know if he is local, but if you see him...avoid sitting near him.


Cheers

Oh Beazo darling, how frightful.


And a Lidl bag - OHMYGOD. A good beating with the stick for even smiling in your direction, but the idea of touching you with his vile sticky foot! How VERY dare he? You must be shaking like a leaf.


Was there no-one else on the carriage to give him a severe beating?


Please call the police and tell them that he followed you. He cannot be permitted to continue with this antisocial behaviour. He must be apprehended.

There is one guy who lives in the action for blind people home up the top of Underhill who has been known to be a bit touchy with the ladies, but this sounds a bit beyond his remit. He you see him again I'd suggest confronting him in front of people if there is anyone around. Did he seem to be using the cane at all when he was walking out the station?

I hope you've recovered from you're nasty experience Beazo. I live just around the corner from the blind home on Underhill Road and there is a guy there that does fit your description as I see him from time to time as I walk past and as Keef has mentioned there is a guy there who it would seem has a bit of previous although I'm not suggesting it is one and the same person but you never know.

I feel you should have reported this to the authorities at the time though and if you do feel you want to confront this man it could end up as your word against his but hopefully there will be some CCTV pictures of the incident. It's up to you if you want to take it further. Good luck if you do.

If it's this guy his name is Billy and you'll find him most days hanging out in the Uplands Cafe (formally The Ideal) went for Mrs E one day many moons ago with tongue hanging out of his head, I shit you not, Mrs E legged it.....or so she said....

I'd also suggest that this is reported to the relevant authorities.


However I do find it disturbing that on this forum people will name and identify possible suspects, even detailing the road they might live on and what they look like. Innocent till proven guilty etc..? I know people like to spout of on here and I'm sure it was meant helpfully but perhaps people should engage brain before posting.

Hello everyone,


As a lot of you mentioned reporting it, thanks for your advice, I have done now so hopefully mr touchy feely won't be at it again. Re the question about whether he was using the stick...he was just carrying it so I guess he is not totally blind.


Roll on the weekend.

What did the stick look like? I know that sounds like a silly question (er it was white and stick like) but was it long, did it have a handle. A lot of people carry what is known as a Symbol Cane, which is a short white cane only used to show other people that you have a sight problem, but not to the extent where you'd need a cane for actually feeling your surroundings with. If he had one of those, chances are he could see exactly what he was doing.

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By Ryeman · Posted

      I would also like to recommend Andy for plumbing. I had a leak under my kitchen tap and he was able to visit and resolve the issue in the same day. Prompt and efficient service and very professional.

      Tessa Jowell centre car park.

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      It's about ensuring it's the medical facilities you are accessing, hence the sign-in actually in Tessa Jowell. And I think there are visual as well as camera checks, after all a number of people drive in and out of the car park to drop patients off. Clearly they are not parked up, so it's not relevant if they are fleetingly on camera. It's only those actually parked who need to identify themselves as patients.

      Leaves on East Dulwich streets

      By Katherty · Posted

      Thanks CPR Dave for the link to Southwark's leaf cleaning schedule. Good to see that.   I think that what may have happened was the leaves weren't cleared during the scheduled week for Whateley Road, which was w/c 17 November.  Then they were cleared a couple of weeks ago instead. We have been here through all of autumn,  and there has been a steady build-up of leaves on this stretch since October.  At one point there was a deep layer to wade through. The photos I posted were from 17 December, and as you can see,  the leaves had been trampled and compressed into the ground. It looked a lot worse at times.   Lots of school kids from the primary school walk up and down this pavement.   In case this happens next year,  I have found a contact page about streets https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/contact-us-about-transport-and-roads - so I could ask them what their plans are.

      BYO restaurants

      Amrutha is excellent, unless you are died in the wool meat and two veg most will find the food to their taste and it certainly isn't a place that expects you to be a sandal wearing vegan. Recommend Matoon too, there are many great places in SE23, SE4 and SE26 if you get chance to get on a bus. Don't have takeaways very often and would only do this when they employ their own delivery people due to all the issues with the slave labour that is Deliveroo and the like (and numerous other issues).  Yes it is a different thread but I can't stop myself reminding people.
