I was driving my old MGB the other day when I got the strong smell of petrol in the car and the she suddenly cut out. When I managed to free wheel it down Barry Rd to Kevin (highly recommend mechanic for classic cars) he quickly figured out that it was out of petrol - turns out that someone had cut the fuel pipe under the car in order to siphon out the petrol the night before. Kevin mentioned that another classic car owner in ED had petrol siphoned from his car in the same week.


I think these clowns are stealing petrol from old cars because they usually don't have alarms - the f*ckers!

Who says old MG's don't have alarms... mine does (and bizarely Central locking too... not bad for a 72 car...)


It is more likely they are stealing from old cars because the fuel lines are easier to get to then modern ones... that said I am sorry to hear that you had your car vandalised and your petrol stolen like that... could be quite dangerous if you were just about to pull out in a tight space on a busy road...


Thank you for bringing this to peoples attention, I hope you reported it to the police and that someone catches the idiots who are doing this (thinks good firm kicking would be too light a punishement for anyone who damaged my old girl)



Glad Kevin was able to assist and hopefully it won't happen again.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      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.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      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.
