I should have posted this earlier but for some reason it didn't cross my mind until now.

I was mugged a couple of weeks ago walking home at 5pm on a Thursday from Herne Hill to collect my little girl.

I walked past the culprits at a newsagents on Half Moon Lane (I was talking on the phone at the time) and I realised they had clocked me. I stopped a few shops up to check if they were behind me. They were still outside the shop so continued assuming I was being paranoid. I turned into Elmwood Road and was suddenly jumped from behind. They pushed me over a garden wall and grabbed my phone. Not my bag though. Bashed and bruised and somewhat frightened of walking in the dark now, but it could have been a lot worse. The police were great - showed up v quickly and took me out. They think they have images of them from newsagents and are trying to get identification.

Was a group of three lads, I guess at 15, in school uniform. Opportunists in my opinion.

Just be careful walking along on your phone.

  If I buy a soap dispenser and want it to produce foam, do I need to add water? What is the ratio of water to hand soap?

  Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers. When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.

  Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor
