Just a heads up to everyone. We had a delivery man knock on our door tonight with 3 pizzas we had not ordered. We told him they were "not ours", he then said there were some youths hanging round outside and he thought itcould be a scam. We invited him in while the guys hung around outside for a while and I called the police. He was a bit scared I think though tried not to show it. I think they would have grabbed the delivery bag and possibly assulted him. If this happens to you keep an eye out for the delivery person and make sure he gets back to his vehicle safely if pos, I felt pretty sorry for him.

Report of a similar case in Peterborough (planned theft of three pizzas after giving a false address which resulted in death of delivery driver) reported in today's Standard:

As a former pizza delivery driver the first thing I was told was you either come back with the pizza or the money, so I doubt it!


Well done to the OP for helping him.

I expect people were saying the same hundreds of years ago, when there were cutpurses and other crims out and about in the streets of London ......


Oh, and highwaymen ..... and pirates ...... no pirates in London, obv ......

Sort of reminds me of the line from 300 (Sparta)


"come back with your shield... or on it"

    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.
