You need to stay safe by being aware of your surroundings...


Not being over dramatic. There is real danger.

What a load of scaremongering rubbish. I would advise against running with your headphones with music on full blast to provide some awareness of your surroundings and obstacles you may encounter, but not wearing them in case you get attacked - come off it. Last time I checked, we dont live in a high crime area with joggers being targetted by criminals hiding in the shadows of SE22.... Ridiculous.


The fear of crime....

That is where you are most at danger... Display your Phone in public attracts thieves.

wearing headphones will also bring attention to yourself that you have some valuable kit on you worth stealing.

and you will not hear someone creeping up on you.


People have been killed wearing headphones whilst running/cycling


It is just common sense... Not scaremongering rubbish.

Worst sort of scaremongering, get a grip foxy!!


It took me years before I dare set foot on a farm lest I drowned in a slurry pit whilst being crushed by hay stacks, ploughed up by a tractor and electrocuted whilst getting my frisby (that may have been another one).


There's one thing promoting sensible caution and another to tell people THEY'll DIE IF THEY WEAR osbourne stewart HEADPHONES!!!!!!

Ok I was Scaremongering... No need to be concerned whilst out jogging by your self on a dark evening..


In that case may I suggest:-


The Sennheiser Orpheus may be a great pair of headphones for audiophiles, but what about those who prefer style over sound quality? Well, that?s what the world?s most expensive earbuds are for.


Created by Thomas Heyerdahl of Heyerdahl Jewellery, the same person behind the iDiamond iPod, these blinged out buds aren?t just a one-off for charity?they were carefully constructed in a series of 1,000. Each pair of iDiamond ear earphones is made of 18 karat gold set with 204 diamonds (1.65 carats total). Each pair is numbered, so you know that your pair is entirely unique.


Of course, getting one now may be a hassle. They were distributed to high end jewelry stores in March of 2008 and, at the time, sold for $6,400. Considering their limited availability, purchasing a pair now might require a considerably larger investment.

You should also consider a decent watch:-


Swiss watchmakers such as Patek Philippe , Vacheron Constantin , Girard-Perregaux and the like. Oh, they?re going to cost you?$200,000 per easily, and much, much more if you really want to splurge.


Do roll up your sleeves though so it is on full view..


You should have no trouble in East Dulwich.. There is no crime...

I wouldn't dream of wearing earphones on a run. Nothing to do with the fear of crime but rather the fear of ending up on a bonnet - and more especially because I love the experience of being outside and actually hearing everything around me (wildlife etc.).


And anyway, there's enough hurting as I go round so the idea of sore ears afterwards isn't what I need too.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s

      The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.

      Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
