Before anyone says it, I'm absolutely not saying everything in the garden's lovely, but I was interested to use this calculator on the BBC website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-44045128 and see that for South Camberwell, there have been thirty-four moped crimes in the last five years, and only twelve of them were robberies by people on mopeds (the rest were thefts of mopeds, which I know is serious). Just thought it lent an interesting perspective, when a foreigner reading the Evening Standard (or indeed this forum, on occasion) might get the impression that it was a rarity to walk anywhere round here and not be the victim of a moped robbery.


Again, not saying it's insignificant or that it isn't terrible for victims, just thought others might like to try their postcodes and see whether the actual level of crime matches up to their perception of it - I know it didn't for me!

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money
