shady characters hanging around Barclays bank this morning


Recommended Posts

Hello,

did anyone see the group of four men hanging around on the corner of Ashbourne Gr and Lordship Lane this morning? Two were waiting near the atm, the other two in the car (dark grey ford galaxy). I live nearby so noticed them there for about 25 minutes this morning around 9am-9.25am I thought they may have been waiting for the bank to open, but they left before it did.


Or am I being paranoid having read too many threads on this forum?

Don't think you are being paranoid. Sounds like they were waiting to surprise someone at the cashpoint. Have seen it happen at the HSBC one. That time one man and he ran around corner and got in a waiting car. There was a spate of early morning robberies at the Barclays a few years ago.

I almost had my card nicked from there by a very basic Lebanese loop about a year ago but luckily managed to pull the contraption out of the card slot and retrieve my card. Reported it to the police. It was a metal coil that someone had inserted into the machine so it looked like the machine had swallowed my card. I was just about to walk off and leave it then realised and used my key to prize it out of the machine. I think someone would have been hanging around nearby hoping to get the card... Scuzz buckets!

I don't suppose you went in to the bank to report it?

Hi,

no... didn't think of it.

I took photos of the guys and got their car details so that if something did occur I could use that. But otherwise, no.


The Ashbourne/ Lordship Lane corner is a bit of a hotspot for unusual activity, with HSBC and Barclays on both corners. Does anyone know if there are CCTV cameras there - and if so, what their reach is?

I heard it said that local kids used to refer to Ashbourne Grove as 'the river', ie it ran between two banks.

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
