a search like that certainly shows evidence of the number of hits on google if you 'do it properly'(?), but it doesn's show anything else

Seeing as this thread is about whether Peckham Rye was or was not a worse area than other areas, why not look here:

http://maps.police.uk/view/?q=se155dq&url=

It isn't explicit to stabbings but the number of crimes, makes for an interesting comparison if nothing else.

[R&A]

Exactly pk and stevebailey, one is random fact (google hits) and the other is a source of statistics....

It's like the Tories saying 'The no. of google hits for the word 'CRIME' has gone up exponentially since Labour has come into power.... :)

Edit to say that on my google search this link comes up on teh first page whereas i can't find anything on the actual stabbing this thread was orginially discussing.. what does that say????

[Huggers]

blimey, Chelsea and Maida Vale above average for violence and anti social behaviour!

[R&A]

chelsea has some rough estates... but that's the beauty of London. We don't have ghettos like other countries do. The rich live alongside the poor. Dulwich village is minutes away from Peckham etc

It's much better this way i think.

[stevebailey]

That'll be all the Upper Class fighting over parking spaces for their Tractors! :)

it's not far off what they've done - using stats that official statisticians say should not be used for comparison purposes (due to different methods of collection) for comparison - then claiming crime increases where more reliable comparators show decreases!

and when this pointed out saying words to effect of 'well, we're going to keep using the comparisons anyway because they suit us'

[R&A]

I agree pk

It wasn't a complete coincidence that i used that as an example...

Lady muck - it was to do with quotation "marks " and double quotation ""marks "".

[The Minkey]

Hi Jaws - I was on a bus at a standstill outside the 99p store at the time. Something was clearly going off ahead of us. Thankfully there was little evidence of it, apart from a taped off area of pavement, by the time we got moving again. I'd forgotten all about it until I saw this thread.

Horrible thing to have to witness - hope the playback is fading.

Whereas I was talking about 'single' and "double" quotation marks - see my personalised wiki page for details: Quotation Mark

I will guess that our very own Hal is "the man" on the subject of quotation marks? - I know because I have seen it on the WWW:

Hal's bit on the Web about the Qmarks - can you spot "HAL" somewhere?

The man is the local genius - no doubt about it.

Good grief, when do you people sleep?!!

[PeckhamRose]

Any news about the girls who were stabbed (by each other?)

[karter]

they don't sleep LB, they were too busy on the p!ss last nite.

[legalbeagle]

Only drinking my lovely organic wines, no doubt.....!

[intexasatthe moment]

Oh Hal ,fascinating link .Thank you !

But sorry - the pedant in me can still only regard " as a quotation mark.

' is an apostrophe.
