Not exactly current but definitely positive ...


Saw an ordinary but rather forlorn guy standing outside the Co-op in Lordship Lane prior to Christmas, stranded by the fact that his bike had been tethered to the bike rack by someone else's lock - every cyclist's nightmare. His only hope was that the other cyclist would come back soon, but the much flashier steed didn't seem to be yielding an owner any time soon. Since the offending lock only passed through his brake cable, I went home, got some tools, and freed his bike, obsviously checking that the brakes worked once reassembled. I think he lived a few miles off so it would otherwise have been a bit unnecessary back and forth in a season when time is short. Good to feel useful and be in the right place sometimes. Haven't seen him since though ... ooh errr!

Good for you, paulc! I think I did that to someone by mistake a few months ago outside the Ritzy. When I came back 8 hours later at midnight all the other bikes had gone and mine was attached to nothing at all. Had this thread existed then I'd have said how grateful I was to find it still there.

      But hang on a minute, did no-one in the Reeves family check that the letting agent had actually done it? #thismaybehowthestorycontinuestodevelop As anyone who has ever dealt with an estate agent knows...trust them with nothing...

      I saw this sparrowhawk bring down a pigeon in Upland Rd today, a few houses short of Eric's bakery. Nature red in tooth and claw in East Dulwich!

      Completely agree.  I always go to them for any keys I need cutting and have used them when I've had trouble with a front door lock.  They never opt for an expensive solution if a serviceable alternative exists.  They are friendly, helpful and polite.  They restore my faith in humanity every time I use them.

      I can think of several possible motivations for your writing that, but can't tell  which.
