Huggers

whats the numberplate? seeing a couple of navy old Volvos in last couple of days. Presume the name could have been removed- was name scratched on, painted on? in what size letters?

maybe they were influenced by my email cos they switched it off last night! Thank you thank you thank you!

we fought it off in Nutbrook and surrounding areas. They tried to get it through with their summer hols questionnaires when everyone is away. I experienced CPZ in Westminster and it meant I could never park near my house but paid for the privilege.

I have just emailed their office about this. But meanwhile is anyone else getting bright light shining into their bedrooms from the security lights in the school's playground. All night long. It is not a constant problem. The light is turned on for several nights and then is dormant for others. Right now it shines upwards and straight into our bedroom window, penetrating thick curtains.

dogs are not allowed in there.

I am in edinburgh and have just seen the King James trilogy at the Playhouse. They are on their way to the National. Phenomemal theatre, visual, passionate, exciting plus the third one stars sophie chabrol from the killing. It's going to sell out so get in there now!

Threatening to punch a six year old? That's not A school matter, thT's a police matter.

Thanks guys! Missing the hood already!

Just off to the Edinburgh Festival to perform my comedy show Charmian Hughes: Raj Rage!

Maybe see some ED'ers up there!

thanks Sinktink, I'll tell him.

pepper spray may be illegal, but a large pot of black ground pepper left forgotten in your bag after a long ago trip to tescoes isn't. thanks Ladysaw and everyone, my son is remarkably stoic about the whole thing, like a gazelle given a fright at the watering hole by a jackal, shaken but keen to rejoin the herd.

Description in original post. One was of smaller stature. Also if you see it happening it might not seem obvious, may look like three boys greeting one other as victim tend to be quiet in response and just hand stuff over.

did they phone for the third? or was he waiting/hanging around. which direction do you think they came from- adys or rye lane end? how frightening!

also a general call out to all those ''found a bank card, will cut it in half after three days if no one claims it'' threads. PLEASE hand them into banks- they could be cards discarded by muggers, with their prints, which could be used to support a successful prosecution!

that's terrible JGray as its our road!!

Melonsmasher, they did straight away! I was impressed with the speed of police arrival. Two marked cars and an unmarked one, son went with them in unmarked car as they cased the cashpoints. My son came straight home after mugging- a 5 minute walk- and we did all phone calls from our house but I wonder if he should have rung a doorbell close to where it happened and asked for help- and got quicker result. Police said an attempt was made on someone going into their house about five minutes before my son's incident but was not reported till next day. Hence importance of reporting at time! If police had been alerted then it would have probably prevented the second crime! cctv on local schools were all angled onto their own properties unfortunately.

a reminder that if you have any incident like this - or you think you just missed being a victim in an incident like this- to call the police. They can build up a picture of the perps. There was another attempt- a near miss-on someone else yesterday within the same time range and within area, but not reported till this morning. Reporting straight away might get these buggers caught!!

Looking back over past threads there seems to have been similar activity by a group of three with knife around Sainsbury's area in recent past .http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1254511,1254813#msg-1254813

he is fine. Its the first experience I have had of that in this bit and we have lived here 18 years, but it is the man route from ed station and the bus stop. But the muggers were coming the other way, so a bit random. I don't think he can be the only victim tonight.

My 16 year old son was mugged at knifepoint by three boys, aged around 18, black, one with covered face scarfe on Ondine Road at about 11.10pm this evening. Police here in seconds and now looking for them. Bank card, oyster and money taken.

your privately educated kids are lying to you, probably out dealing whizz. Their schools broke up on Friday.

Ayres do the most yummy lemon madeira cake with soft squishy lemony stuff in the middle. They also do the most amazing sunflower and pumpkin seed low gi bread which we get for taste rather than health reasons.

Hurrah!

Ive just been to the Copeland one today- excellent, a tenner to clean inside and out and my car was absolutely filthy before I went in, with dog hair all over the seats. very good job done.

I went to the French house for the first time on Saturdays and loved their big French things to eat.
