Hi Forum,


Just posting on the remotest off chance anyone saw or heard the smash that resulted in my parked car being written off last night. It was at about 11.20pm, outside no. 314 Upland Road. Heard a vehicle driving hard and fast up the hill, then heard a bang, went outside and my poor old much-loved Citroen has been completely scraped along one side, rear bumper completely off, wing mirror on the road.


Later on, maybe it was just my imagination, I could have sworn I heard joy riding type noises a bit further south in the area - maybe on Lordship Lane or Dunstans, Overhill, Mount Adon Park kind of area? Did anyone else?


Needless to say please contact me if you can add anything to this sorry tale. I have a feeling I've read about other cars in SE22 being mindlessly smashed into overnight in the past couple of weeks. Perhaps someone is doing it for laughs?


Speaking to my insurers this morning they more or less told me not to bother reporting to the police!

Sorry to hear that - ignore the person you spoke to at your insurer though and report it to the police asap - the insurer call handler may just be woefully naive.


There may be a nugget of intelligence the police could use. Or at the least it will show up in statistics and highlight the problem...

We heard it! I can't help though, sorry. We heard the bang but by the time I'd got to the front window I couldn't see anything apart from some foxes going crazy - I assumed they had been fighting and knocked over a bin or something. I somehow didn't notice your car with it's bumper hanging off!


I would normally have been in our front room at that time and could have been more useful but our 5 year old is currently scared of burglars (she hasn't been reading the forum, our car was broken into recently) had woken and I was having to lie under her bed until she fell back to sleep!

      New Empanada Place on LL

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
