I grimaced when i came across loads of sticky sweets and toffees littering the pavements.

I was walking through the East Dulwich Estate and was walking on the pavement side when i trod on a half eaten lollipop, it stuck to the underside of my shoe and i almost went flying when it stuck to the ground like glue! then a few metres away were a trail of sticky strawberry laces.

I was intrigued and followed the mess across Dog Kennel Hill and saw a group of young kids and their parents strolling along squabbling about what pic 'n'n mix was best, eating the sweets then spitting them out! I thought that was disgusting and had a good mind to tell off the parents who did'nt seem in the slightest concerned the sticky mess they were leaving behind, littering our environment.

Yes you are right, i should have actually held those litterers to account, but was bit intimidated by them to be honest as they had one of those bull terrier type dogs that looked quite menacing, aswell as the adults themselves!. so no i thought it wise not to say anything just in case they turned on me. In many cases i would'nt have hesitated but i did then and for good reason.
I think we should start a collection to take Poppy on a nice day out around ED - we could hire a double decker bus (sans conductor) and go on a day trip, via the nice sweetshop on Northcross Road - we would sing happy songs to her and she could leave the trolley at home because the gentlemanly folk (or ladies!) of the forum would carry her bags. There'd be cake and ginger pop and nary a pit bull or hoodie in sight.

Get the Ginger bread man onto it, he sorts out all confectionary issues, you can get his details from the Muffin man of Drury lane. They usually send the tooth fairy round and she lays into their molars "big time".......it's a slow process is the justice system, but in a democracy it's all we have.




Keep 'em peeled.

    • For those wanting to boycott US products, it might be useful to consider  a list of brands owned  by Proctor and Gamble:-     Ariel laundry detergent Crest toothpaste[4] Dawn dishwashing Downy fabric softener and dryer sheets Fairy washing up liquid Febreze odour eliminator Gillette razors, shaving soap, shaving cream, body wash, shampoo, deodorant Head & Shoulders shampoo Olay personal and beauty products Oral-B oral hygiene products Pantene haircare products Tide laundry detergents and products Vicks cough and cold products    
    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
