Really very weird moment.
This is back when I lived in New Cross Gate, not an area known for its pleasantness at the best of times, let alone at 3am.

Returning from a night out with Mrs. Doom, we were wobbling back to our flat, and on the corner of our road, on a patch of grass there was a studenty looking girl, obviously completely pissed. She'd pulled her trousers and knickers down and had her legs waving in the air but not shouting or anything.

At the time I just thought she was being drunk and obnoxious, but as the years go by, Mrs Doom is getting more and more convinced that she saw someone there with her. I was certain I didn't but now I'm starting to wonder.... Even if there wasn't another person there, she wasn't exactly trying to avoid any attention so we should really have popped her back on her feet, got her dressed and sent her off home / given her some coffee...

The only thing that makes me think we didn't just ignore something terrible is that no yellow incident boards went up around there for ages (rare in SE London I can assure you - they're like the logo of Lewisham Borough Council). But we'll never know for certain...

Up until September I had a job in Stratford, and had to change from coach to DLR at Lewisham.
I heard from across the road "Stop, thief!" or something of that nature. Right opposite a fucking great police station.

Nobody should have to work in New Cross
In fact, I was kind of under the impression that nobody did...
