when I was atacked, the lovely vagabonds couldn't have known what I was carrying as they attacked from the front and all the vans sign writing is on the sides and back, for all they knew I could have been carrying bins full of dirty nappies! my initial thought was that they wanted the van to carry out another robbery.

or try Mr Site, the website in a box. I made my own website for ?30.00! and it works fantastically. you can buy online but I picked up one at pc world. you can have numberous pages, a gallery and receive payments etc. here,s my website to see it looks, www.graymarbleandstone.co.uk.

one white guy, one black. the white one was early 20's 5'9"ish skinny, wore a kind of mottled hoodie(suprise,suprise!) and the black guy was about 25/30, 6', stocky, short hair in litte twisty spikes and was the main attacker, the white guy was the driver of the car. the police think the glove I discribed may have been a police issue riot glove!! re enforced kevlar knuckles and wrist support.

Shot down in the night - Hawkwind

I did a defensive driving course a few years back when I worked at Wimbledon and I managed to keep calm, I think thats what saved me.

driving my van Loz...a deeply disturbing experience

Rise up - Osmium

I had a similar incident a couple of months back. coming home from work at 2.45am driving down, Lyndhust way where the road narrows a car came at me at speed and blocked the road, the two occupants jumped out and ran at me, "get out of the f***ing van!" I hit the central locking and one of them started punching the windscreen and drivers window with some kind of heavily re enforced glove. luckily I stayed calm and began to reverse at speed back up Lyndhurst with one of them hanging onto my wing mirror still trying to punch his way in. at the first junction I lost my passenger (and mirror) and aimed for Peckham Road with the car chasing. luckily for me there was a police car double parked on Talford Place so I pulled along side and repeatedly sounded the horn. I was fortunate that I spotted police car, because I have no doubt that if they'd have caught me i would have taken quite a beating. the police were great, but they didn't catch the guys. so all van drivers need to be weary if its the same two guys, it was truly terrifying and the level of aggression was hideous.

heres a copy of the letter I sent to the appeal officer, nothing has been altered I've just removed all names and addresses.

whats he gonna say? - Francis Dunnery

a successful outcome! I've just received the reply to my appeal and the fine/notice has been made void. but they do warn that "officers have been instructed to pay particular interest and to deal with all other (fly)posters"

To ianr, thank you for the time and trouble you have taken in this matter, it is very much appreciated. I have just delived my letter of appeal and now I need to wait...fingers crossed.
