Just a gripe really, but we had our kerbside car door kicked in on Saturday night. The car was parked by the Barry Road / Underhill road junction, and when I went to take my daughter swimming on Sunday morning, I was greeted by the sight of the obviously man made dent in our car door.


They have managed to kick or fall on the lip of the door too, so the dent wont just pop out, meaning a ??? repair job.


Just what I needed. I dont suppose any one saw anything at time (wishfull thinking)


Amazing how some people get their Saturday night kicks (excuse the pun) these days.

I live on Barry road and have seen drunk people walking down the road pulling off the wing mirrors. And on Christmas morning 2012 I was waiting in the car passenger side with our 2 children in the back and a drunk man walking along with a couple of mates. Fell towards my car. Stopped. And smashed my wing mirror off with his elbow!


Called police. Chased the man down the road (in car so I knew where he went) He was from the place at the end of Barry road. Asylum seeker. He was arrested. Pleaded guilty. Receievd a letter from the police to confirm he pleaded guilty and was charged. But we were never given compensation to fix our wing mirror. Such a pointless crime. I just don't get it. And quite scary being sat in the car with my children while this happened.

In my experience this brand of crime is typical of areas where you have long roads such as Barry road.


I have lived in one or two villages with winding lanes which tend to keep your average thug concentrating on the task in hand. However, whenever you relieve them of the need to keep their wits about them they tend to revert to type which is predictably unfortunate for those with premium autos.


The answer of course is to present the thug with a distraction such as an orange cone filled with sand. He will be drawn to it like a fly to something unpleasant all the while tiring himself out wrestling with the sluggish base.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • 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.
