I should have posted this earlier but for some reason it didn't cross my mind until now.

I was mugged a couple of weeks ago walking home at 5pm on a Thursday from Herne Hill to collect my little girl.

I walked past the culprits at a newsagents on Half Moon Lane (I was talking on the phone at the time) and I realised they had clocked me. I stopped a few shops up to check if they were behind me. They were still outside the shop so continued assuming I was being paranoid. I turned into Elmwood Road and was suddenly jumped from behind. They pushed me over a garden wall and grabbed my phone. Not my bag though. Bashed and bruised and somewhat frightened of walking in the dark now, but it could have been a lot worse. The police were great - showed up v quickly and took me out. They think they have images of them from newsagents and are trying to get identification.

Was a group of three lads, I guess at 15, in school uniform. Opportunists in my opinion.


Just be careful walking along on your phone.

      If we accept what the OP has written, and it does seem credible, the father did not respond to the incident appropriately. His child was out of his line of sight when the OP was hit from behind by the child on a bike. Many of us, having been startled like this, might express some displeasure. Rather than a sincere and concerned apology, it sounds as though the father instead attempted to paint the OP as the problem, even laughing at them. I don't know what kind of message that would send to his child but doubt it is a good one.

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.
