Hi all


Just a quick one.


Quite remarkably, my phone was swiped from my bare hands while waiting for a cab on Lordship Lane at the weekend (just on the corner of the road outside Caffe Nero, along from the bus stop). A guy on a motorcycle swung by and, while on the move, grabbed it. Both the Uber driver and I attempted to catch him, but within seconds he was gone.


I'm mentioning it on here purely to alert people that this sort of thing does actually happen. Even in East Dulwich. At 6.30pm. With a bunch of people around. You almost have to admire the audacity of the guy - and the skill in which he pulled off his scandalous manoeuvre.


Anyway, please bear in mind that clutching an illuminated phone in the dark is like waving a red rag to a bull. These people won't stop at anything to nab a possession they can flog for about ?20, so don't give them a reason to.


Oh, and if anyone is sold a cheap iPhone 6S with a cracked screen, please let me know!


Cheers


Matt

    • 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. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
