Strange behaviour near the library last night.

Something quite weird happened to me last night, and i'm wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.... At about 5pm I was walking away from the library on London Road (in the direction of the Harvester.) I was walking along and talking on my phone (which i know is silly...) when a young man ran up behind me and slapped me really hard in the lower back. He then sprinted off up the road. I don't know whether it was an attempted mugging (perhaps hitting me to see if I would drop something or loosen my grip on my bag?) or someone trying to slap my backside with a dreadful aim (although the way that he sprinted away suggests that might not be the case.)


Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Yeah but you get into trouble for shooting kids with airguns these day. Odd I know but there you go.


When I was a boy our parish priest shot at us with a shot gun (ok they were only salt shots and he didn't actually aim at us but anyway it frightened the life out of us) Didn't dare tell anyone or we would have got into trouble for trying to steal the boxes of crisps from the church hall in the first palce.


There's no justice in this world I tell you!

    • You can request for them to come and collect your full bins again https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1879 They usually come on whatever day your rubbish/recycling collection day is. If you aren't going to be in, leave them somewhere that they can find it. If you don't need replacements, just leave a note on the full ones that a replacement isn't needed.  They usually come quite early, so it's better to leave them outside if you can. 
    • Just wondering- what were they arrested for? If you remember 
    • Cyclists certainly do have a bit of a perception problem at the moment and when I cycle I see a lot of examples of arrogance and ignorance that gives all cyclists a bad name - it does seem that many cyclists have caught the entitlement bug many drivers seem to have.
    • But Spartacus didn't mention the significant amounts of land being used for car storage - that was most definitely you.   And I am afraid when you apply your same measure to other transport uses (like cycleways and cycle lanes - Malumbu is your stat on the 360 kms of cycle network cycleways or cycle lanes?) then it most definitely is relevant for the debate.   Should we assume then that if all this ULEZ money and government bailout money is being poured into TFL then the system is, financially at least, broken or is it a case that the money is being mis-spent (like the DV junction project)?
