On Saturday the boys in blue turned up in Barry Road, following an incident where some 'chancers' decided to climb scaffolding errected on a building and nicked some lead on the roof. Not contented with that property, they made their way to adjoining properties and attempted to do the same. Unfortunately they were spotted and eventually nicked.

Peckham Police officer informed me that there had been a number or burglaries in ED - some of the thieves had been caught- these were people from both the Camberwell and Peckham areas.

ED is seen to be a 'wealthy area' hence the 'tourists' see us as rich pickings.

It is indeed LB, I bought the larger of the two on offer, the smaller was 11 quid.

It's a black one and looks pretty good if I say so myself.

What I also need to share is that the a couple of weeks prior to my chop2pot board I bought a large royal blue polypropylene chopping/bread board also by the Joes.

Big solid lump of polypro it is an'all.

I'm seriously considering the colander though, it looks very handy and is probably a boon.

I think there's lead on roofs in those areas as well.


I love these imaginary chats with police officers.


They're great for backing up any groundless assumptions one might have on the internet.

I know I know. It seems harsh. But if you want the very latest in polypropylene living hinges you really can't afford to lose focus, even for a month.

A boon, yes, but tread carefully HB. They do folding and square colanders. A chap could make a grave error if purchasing without due thought.

Excellent findings, sophiesofa. This may well make the front page of the next issue. (providing there's no massive shakeup in the chopping board world, like when they brought out the Anti-Bacterial Polyethylene range back in Aug '02 - fair few late nights THAT month, I can tell you!)

Right, kids?

Thieves and scumbags are everywhere - how depressing! I think we should all stop worrying about it but keep our wits about us. Life is for living not worrying. I don't mean about past crimes mentioned on here, some sound horrible and nasty and I hope you all are ok and safe.


thebestnameshave gone I forgot to point out that it's also a smooth surface so slips around a lot and I'm surprised they haven't been recalled off the shelves - at least a few digits must have been accidentally sliced off. I remember aug 02 with fond memories.

(!?) Think you've got me confused.


On day 2 of the internet's existence someone made a student-politics reference to 'sheeple' and was shortly followed by someone else posting a Rik Young Ones photo. It's pretty much the rules.

(!?) Think you've got me confused.


Hmm, not convinced. ATBNHG = Full time PR, part time DJ. Lived in Hackney and Manc. Lots of cycling stories and short thrift for crime scares = Honk - antagonistic posts about binlids.


+ Posting "Clint Eastwood in Nunhead" story on PB after seeing it on here.


Not that I'm fussed, I quite liked Honk.


(day three of the internet - low level stalking when bored. Otherwise called "reading previous posts")

Blimey, do you have a file on everyone?


I really do think you have me confused with someone else though, Columbo. I've never lived in Hackney.

    • @ ed pete "there still has to be the demand". I don't know but wondering if developers have been able to make a case based on the increase in demand from 2023-2024. The research I looked at said demand had risen by 500 in that period,  but was still below an all time high in 2022.   There will be others who know much more about this area who can give the rationale in favour; perhaps this latest govt. research is incorrect or only gives part of the story. My point is if, as seems likely, this development does little to solve the current housing crisis at local level for the non student population, I hope that the council is very, very sure that this level of student accommodation is warranted at this location. I have not managed to look at the plans in detail but how sustainable are the plans for the build; how will it be heated, what about impact on water and waste services?    
    • There is also I believe some evidence that students are choosing to go to universities, where they do, closer to home so as to avoid additional costs by living at home. Personally I think this is a mistake - being an undergraduate is a first chance for independence - but if economics and costs are making this so the demand for accommodation such as this will again be weakened.
    • A good plumber - Ade Okoosi. He came to do some plumbing for a new kitchen at a flat in Camberwell, sealed up a gas pipe and put in some taps and a thermostatic shower. On another occasion he rapidly removed a radiator. Would definitely use again.  Ade 07961981944
    • Interesting the projected demand.  One imagines that you don't undertake this kind of investment without the business case to back it up.  There's one going up near a friends office in the City that is for 782 students.  OK, these are much closer to HE establishments but there still has to be the demand. https://dominusrealestate.co.uk/projects/65crutchedfriars/
