Not quite sure what that says about me to be honest0 -
watched crimewatch last night they had about 10 minutes on carrying knives, one of the parents started saying parents should do more, then was quickly shut up and they banged on about education, point was proved that it was a load of bull about 5 minutes later when a fella that had turned his life around said for me i was 12 and at school and the offer of £500.00 to do one small thing just cant be turned down, f all to do with education.5

Oi! Born and raised in Erith. Fine town, nice people. Mind you, it may have changed in the last few years- but that is the fault of the EU.The_President said:

Erith isn't twinned with another town, but it does have a suicide pact with Dagenham.
As Kigelia rightly says:
The late great Linda Smith I think.
Another funny lady taken far too soon - 10 years ago now.

Did anyone see that terrible documentary the other night about the gangs round Lewisham. Reporter was some how condoning the lad for carrying a knife 'for his own protection' and so was his mum. She was admitting that every now and then she notices a knife gone out the kitchen drawer ffs! They were blaming the authorities. These 'good kids who are only in to their music and not into gangs' in this documentary were filming a music video (all 25 of em, but not a gang) in a car park on their rivals manor and start getting paranoid about a couple of groups mobbing up outside the car park; so what do the good kids do? Pull out knives in front of the cameras ffs. You start to see how these things escalate, but ob ain't allowed to stop and search young black lads too many times in case it offends em. 2 of the lads who appeared in the documentary were dead by the time it was airedpalarsehater said:watched crimewatch last night they had about 10 minutes on carrying knives, one of the parents started saying parents should do more, then was quickly shut up and they banged on about education, point was proved that it was a load of bull about 5 minutes later when a fella that had turned his life around said for me i was 12 and at school and the offer of £500.00 to do one small thing just cant be turned down, f all to do with education.

Owen Jeavons, 23, said there had been tension between students at local schools when he was a teenager but called the brawl "something new".
"I have never seen anything like it. It's such a quiet, peaceful place", he said.

He must have lived a very sheltered life. My Catholic school in Maidstone was always involved in large scale punch ups and the was way back in the late 70's early 80'sValleyGary said:Owen Jeavons, 23, said there had been tension between students at local schools when he was a teenager but called the brawl "something new".

I listened to him live on the radio. He didn't sound like he had lived a sheltered life but that did make me chuckle... I think they finished the interview straight after that comment.ValleyGary said:Owen Jeavons, 23, said there had been tension between students at local schools when he was a teenager but called the brawl "something new".

Yeah it's still there Weegie. It's had a refit recently and the hygiene rating has gone up from something like a 1 or 2 that it was at!Weegie Addick said:By the way, is the Chinese still there? #feelingnostalgic

Always remember Picardy & Brook St(Erith) having it in my school days though don't remember knifes involved,however do remember Thamesmead being far worse.
Life just seems so cheap these days?4 -
Thamesmead back in the day (late 80's/early 90's) had a few gangs who were bizarrely all named after fish - such as The Carp and The Rudd gangs
Always kicking off back then.0 -
It's all crazy in the dunya0

Just back from a run in that park. Community police conducting interviews and looking in bushes for weapons etc.
Erith and picardy used to have it over north heath rec 40 years ago but the video in the news shopper article is shocking.0 -
Went to Erith Secondary '75- '80. There was some lively rows with Picardy school, I have no idea why, there just was, I remember about fifty to a hundred or so turning up at Erith west building with bats, chains and other really nice soft objects (no knives as far as I remember). Our teacher said dont go out there, so what did we do, yep charged out of the school after them, running battles up and down North Heath. I was about 15, I guess, and it was school honour we were defending, however I hated Erith School, I mean really despised the brutal place, what a fukcing bellend, what was I thinking?Jon2461 said:Always remember Picardy & Brook St(Erith) having it in my school days though don't remember knifes involved,however do remember Thamesmead being far worse.

As a lot have said before school punch ups are nothing new. But nowadays everything is captured on a phone and can be widely circulated so quickly.0

The headmaster's had enough today
All the kids have gone away
Gone to fight with next door's school
Every term, that is the rule
Sits alone and bends his cane
Same old backsides again
All the small ones tell tall tales
Walking home and squashing snails.4 -
And that was just with the nuns.cafckev said:

The rumour in my day was always that 'Picardy were coming'
This stuff really isn't anything new. There has always been school v school, or offshoot of teen gang fights. Danson Park was the Madison Square Garden of this back in my day. And weapons were involved in those days as well.
Social Media escalates these things by a 1,000%6 -
Was that 1977/78? I think I was there. I can remember playing football on the pitches behind Erith School one lunchtime and what seemed like hundreds of them suddenly started piling over the fence by Sussex Park. Put to flight by three sports teachers as I recall, and don't know what happened after that.Greenie said:

There's often a big contingent of yoof hanging around up North Heath.0

Around that time, may have been '79. But that rings a bell, I believe the sports lot got involved, I just remember at the next break everyone legging it out the gates for a row.......bloody idiots.ken_shabby said:

Remember when the McDonalds in Eltham first opened mid-70s. Big row between Crown Woods and the riff-raff from Eltham Green on opening day. Both set of pupils banned from the Golden Arches as a result.
As others have said social media spread what would just a local event and make it seem worse. Street violence has been going on for yonks. Quite a few posters on here have been part of such events connected to football and/or politics.
Doesn't make it right or mean action shouldn't be taken but it's not new.0 -
Just kids letting off steam after studying hard through exam season.
Joking aside this sort of stuff happened when I was at school when my peers at St John Rigby used to batter the soft lads from Hayes at the start of each term and football hoolies been doing it for years.
It's a right of passage as much as hiding a porno mag and having a line of whizz in the school khazis. They'll all grow out of it and turn out to be fine upstanding citizens.
Probably all back to swapping paninis in the canteen this morning.1 -
In my day Chis and Sid gangs used to challenge the Hurstmere oiks to games of chess.
It was so much more civilised back then..

Woolwich common against the 'Triads' (not sure how long Triads have come from Somalia)
Barnefield - always sent a shiver up your spine
Helped out a mate who was getting bullied at Tallis. About 20 or so of us turned up one Friday night down the bottom of Dearsly Road, only to be confronted across the footbridge by half of Brixton stood outside the Dover Patrol, needless to say we had it on our toes lively, I scaled to gates of Dearsly Road playing field in one jump.
We always had love hate relationship with the 'top lot' of Charlton, can't remember ever coming to blows though and good friends with em now1 -
by the top lot do you mean Vicky way, Springfields and Mascalls?i_b_b_o_r_g said:Woolwich common against the 'Triads' (not sure how long Triads have come from Somalia)
