If you took all the speculative threads on here to the letter, you could probably frighten yourself into a coma quite easily.

I'm sure it's safe and I'm sure it's me being an idiot.....but really, it would be nice for everyone to post about their positive experiences cos, now i is sh*****g myself, innit.

Honestly - there is nothing to worry about - if you've lived almost anywhere else in London you were more in danger walking home. I don't think anyone ever posts about the time they got a bus home and nothing happened though.


I've lived here for years, and the only trouble I've ever had was a very polite middle-class sounding mugger on Uplands Road who I pushed over a wall.

Sally, take comfort from the fact that this sort of things goes on all the time and just because some people have taken to posting everything that happens doesn't make it any worse


When I moved here 8 years ago the place was awash with police yellow signs asking for help. They stopped doing that not because the incidents stopped happening but because it made people feel jumpy


It it better to know about everything? You could make a case but when you can clearly see people on here saying ridiculous things like the place is becoming a "ghetto" well then I would argue that people are better off not posting. It doesn't seem to have helped anybody in any practical sense but it sure makes the place (and I mean the forum not the area) a lot less fun to be in


Free speech and all that means you can't STOP people posting about this stuff but it's best ignored. Spending ?30 on cabs for safety sake is no way to live a life..

Tht was me, you ****, I jut wanted to ask the time!

The incident happened 7.30ish Saturday night and was a dispute between adults, no "yoofs" were involved. It was a very heated argument which resulted in a stabbing, though no major injuries were incurred. Police were called by neighbours and the miscreant arrested within the hour.

Unless you were one of the arguing parties then it is very unlikely it would comprimise neighbourhood safety.

Sally, I'm newish to East Dulwich and agree with the person who said that no one is going to post about the time they walked from the bus stop and nothing happened. I moved here around the time that postings on incidents on Barry Road began appearing. Starting with a crash involving an Ikea lorry! If it hadn't been for this forum I would not even have heard about it. My point is that I haven't lived in another area which has such an active internet forum, thus you will hear stories like this you would otherwise be unaware of.


I moved here from Peckham (hence my imaginative username) and if it had an internet forum as active and informative as this one I don't think I would have been able to step foot out the door.

Well EXCUSE ME! I realise Extreme Noise Terror aren't to everyone's taste and I'm sorry for any inconvenience.

    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
