Maybe there's some dodgy dealings going on. Maybe also the explorers do happen to look like coppers.
Take a few knuckle heads with you next time maybe even a street wise kid.
Good luck

Great pics Georgie.

I agree such a shame to see it like this.

Ditto and ditto.

It's probably being used for all sorts of dodgy purposes, and you are stepping on "territory",as it were!

It's probably being used for all sorts of dodgy purposes...

I live on the doorstep, I'm around there all the time taking photos...
I get on with the kids and they are all OK..I'll vouch for that personally.

The only things dodgy Ste going on in Eldon Grove are the gypsies arriving daily
(when the gates were open..) loading their wagons stealing the boilers and metal...
and the Polish imigramts in the flats stealing the copper cables...
I know..I saw it and walked up to them and took their photographs...
and I suspect it was these people cutting and burning power cables that caused the recent fire..


Maybe the people around there have had enough of Eldon Grove being invaded and robbed by outsiders..
Maybe the kids are trying to keep them out... and thats what I think for what its worth..

... and you are stepping on "territory",as it were!

100% spot on.... if I see macho men "explorers" in combat keks trying to look dead hard hanging around there I'll tell them where to go as well....

Nobody stopped us? But then again we were with one of the local hard nuts

A certain S.G.T Pepper

Ha ha I'm flattered but that i'm certainly not.

I lived on Burly for 5 years and my brother has done since 1988 having moved there with a lot of people from Vauxhall Gardens and I would like to think that these lads are just looking out for the place.

I really hope the council or someone rescues them.

Rescues the lads?

your talkin **** explorers dont wear combat keks or think there dead hard i do hope to bump into you though on my travels and see how hard you are

[John Doh]

I've not seen any gypsies at all; but I do know a few Poles that are dead hard - and might be inclined to make contact with you...

Another thread getting ruined here. Pack it in please.

[ItsaZappathing]

Well I've said it before...
There's nowhere in this city I wouldn't go. Maybe because I am streetwise but maybe because I am awake and know "the score" as some say. Usually, I know someone who knows someone who knows me so most places I go I know people.
There's nowhere I wouldn't go and I certainly wouldn't run from a few kids. I know some people make themselves an easy looking target. Looking scared and weary. That's some peoples problem. It's like dogs, you either can face them or you can't and walk all around the place to avoid one. Not good

Hopefully we won't lose the whole thread, as most people have gone to some trouble to make it interesting.

Hopefully not mate. Just get rid of the creep who keeps popping in now and again....yeah the know all, and all will be good.
