Rather strange occurrence, thought I'd give a heads up.


Dropped my wife off in the car to go to William Rose around 5pm this afternoon. Not long had the door been shut a young, slightly dishevelled looking lady opened the passenger door and asked to be taken to Heathrow. Told her I wasn't a taxi at which point she said 'No, I need you to take me to Heathrow' and started to get in the car. Given the fact that a Fiat would make a crap taxi anyway and she had no bags my alarm bells went off. Not really fancying having her in the car I quickly accelerated a couple of feet before braking so she lost her footing and moved away. Shut the door, drove up the street a few yards and called 101 and reported it. Tried to keep an eye on her until the police arrived but she walked off up Blackwater Street rather quickly.


Soon after I realised my wifes laptop bag and my phone were in the passenger footwell so she may have spotted them and been after those.


Thought it worth a heads up. She was probably late twenties, black and in dark ripped & grubby clothing.

    • Someone had a worse day than you. Be grateful not to be involved.
    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
