I was coming from central London in a taxi on Friday night (approx 11.15) when we were brought to a sudden standstill on Camberwell New Road by umpteen police officers armed with these things

(I think)

running about the road and pointing their firearms in rather uncomfortable directions. (Lots of police vehicles in evidence too.)


Anybody know what was going on?


It doesn't help my case persuading taxi drivers to head South when these kinds of things happen. (These days, I get in the taxi before telling them where I'm going, just so they can't make their excuses and drive away.)

I had the opportunity to use the MP5 SD3 (Shown on that page) that was a superbly balance gun. (Was in the TA, so no need to call the cops...)

CO, did he then say something about some day a real rain was going to come and wash all the scum from the streets?

Did you at any time catch him looking in his mirror and enquire of himself as to whom he might be looking at?

Did he have a mohican hairstyle?


I think we should be told.

Nope, I got in a cab the other week and the driver was smoking. He told me that if I reported him, it would be my word against his and nothing would happen. I told him he could do what he liked as I just wanted to get home.


He then proceeded to tell me about his double life and how his wife didn't want any more kids. He told her that if she wouldn't have them, he'd find someone else who would. Apparently he did and now has a wife and a kid up North and a girlfriend and a kid down here. They all know about each other. :-S Like I care!!

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
    • We found a recommendation for Geek Electrics on a here after we wanted to have a electrical inspection of a property we are buying. From the very beginning through to the end Bob was responsive, helpful and demonstrated his knowledge. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We will defiantly be using Bob again and would thoroughly recommend him! His details are... www.geekelectrics.co.uk 07453 407 226 [email protected]
