Anyone who thinks Tom's posts are anything but mature and that they don't show great consideration for this caller needs their head examined. Louisa summed it up well while Salsaboy's mother hen comment is strange as you have the option of ignoring a thread on the forum if you wish.

There are ways of correcting and ways of correcting LadyD.


A 'thanks for trying to help but you are wrong on this one' would have sufficed, instead of using provocation tactics.


Then it wouldn't have turned into a bitchfest would it?

aquarius moon I think that's slightly unfair. The opening post made a very reasonable attempt to explain themselves - subsequent early responses went off topic and made wild assumptions. The OP clearly felt these comments were not relevant.

I think the best thing might be to contact the Adult Services team at Southwark and ask to speak to the team that deals with elderly vulnerable people and/or adult mental health. They may be able to identify the lady and offer her some support following an assessment of her needs.

I was drafting s post on those lines too. They're presumably the department with whom any referral would end up. They'd also, if so, know how best to get an address, through their own or police RIPA powers, or otherwise, from BT.

To be fair though, if part of the theme of this thread is extending special courtesies to the elderley. Shouldn't this be extended equally to the Fox? I am correct in assuming he is a mature gentleman? A lot of his post have a "In the good old days, East Dulwich..." theme.

Why are SOME people here so obsessed with what The Fox says. ?

Have you really not got more important things to worry about. ?


People doing Post-Mortems on all of The Fox's past posts.


'Middle age in his 20's'


Age only exists in the minds of ordinary people..

The more Talented and Exceptionable are sometime Old and sometimes Young..

In the same way they are sometimes Happy and sometimes Sad..

My original reply to the OP may of been wrong, but was based on the symptoms of what the OP described.

They were similar to calls my late mother had been receiving a couple of years back.


The reply was a genuine attempt to help. That's what I do. I help people.


Sometimes advice is misguided or misunderstood. But if I can help one person for every two I try, I am happy.


It is not The Fox (as people seem to of named me) that is negative. It's the pack of Hounds that chase him.


This Fox Hunts Alone.

Social Services operate on addresses generally and not phone numbers however given more details as to the nature of the calls and conversation had, they may ring up the person and try and find out more about the lady. A quiet talk with PC Adrian Crust and giving him the number, he may be able to find out the address and do a 'checking call'to see if the lady is ok. Depending on outcome, Police will decide whether to contact Social Services.

Delighted to report that the calls have stopped. None for the last 2 nights/days.

The new phone system enabled us to bar calls from her number and it also lists all attempts to connect to us from that barred number.

Whether the lady in question reads the EDF or has a friend/relative who intervened, we will never know but whatever happened, a positive outcome was achieved.

May thanks to all those who offered sympathy and suggestions.

      Has Social Media Failed ?

      By Huguenot · Posted

      The EDF is social media, and it seems to have met its goals of connecting and engaging the local community. The 'media' part isn't a reference to the BBC, it refers to 'a substance that something grows in, lives in or moves through' as a plural of 'medium'. In the sense that the 'something' is people, then it does the job. Whe it comes to the BBC, the 'something' is information. For the most part the contribution has been positive. However, the downsides are driven by anonymity, and have allowed the worst of human nature to surface.

      We are in "one of UK's best places to live" 🤣

      I'm pretty sure it was still Le Chardon until 2008, maybe later. They also had The Green on East Dulwich Road, which is now Kokum. Service could be a bit 'French' in both places, but the food was good. It then had an incarnation selling quiches or something similar. It was a bit esoteric. The place where everything went against them was Saucy Chip, which was the old Curry Cabin. It's now Joe & The Juice. SE22 Bar was there before Franklin's, which I reckon opened just before the Millennium. I've got a vague recollection an (East) Dulwich Brasserie/Bistro or something similar around there at some point. The photo of the Dulwich Cafe above reminded me of when they changed the name and sign to 'Cafe Dulwich' to reflect how the area was going upmarket.  They didn't change the menu or decor at all. Just the sign.

      😥 Sorry, somehow my post above was duplicated instead of being merged with this one, and I can't delete all of the duplicated bits. Many moons ago, we used to have fairly regular "Forum Drinks", where forum members could meet up and get to know each other in real life. We met in a different local pub each time, and sometimes had sticky labels with our forum names on. A lot of those original people have moved away, but it has occasionally crossed my mind that it would be nice to start that up again and be able to put more faces to names (not that I ever remember either faces OR names)  Or maybe it is still happening but I'm kept out of the loop 🤣  Many of those pubs we used to go to have now changed out of all recognition, of course. Also there seem to be more families with young children in the area, for whom evening drinks would be difficult. I don't have time to do it, but if anybody else was up for organising it I'd be happy to help. It mainly involves deciding on a date, I imagine trying to get a rough idea of how many people would be interested,  and then booking a suitable sized space in a local pub and telling people about it on here  I don't know how it was arranged before, but maybe some of the longer standing forum users may know. I just used to turn up!

      Such a shame the Odeon and bowling at Surrey Quays has gone

      Yup, it's 15 year project (I think some elements of it started a year or so ago).  Imagine how annoyed Earl will be when they find out that the new Teaco superstore planned has underground parking for 530 cars....
