Geez shows how you can get the wrong idea whilst I was there yesterday paying for petrol when that black car swerved into the garage, screeching tyres and the guy working there raised the alarm saying 'not again'... I legged it out of there so fast hearing sirens all over the place, assuming the two things were part of the same, assuming they were related incidents, and now find out I was unduly freaked out whilst the car at the front had been smashed before then. There was me worried I'd have my number plate picked up on CCTV and be contacted for evidence. Pretty funny now I look back on it! That said, shootings and gang crimes do happen around that area so no wonder we can get paranoid. Not to be laughed at.
How is it possible this car STILL hasn't been removed. It's an incredibly dangerous eyesore and forces pedestrians into the petrol station forecourt where cars aren't expecting them. What possible public good is there in having it remain there? It's hardly being preserved for evidence..
I had a near miss with a car that pulled out suddenly from the station from behind the car...it's hard to see oncoming traffic as you pull out, I was slowing down anyway as I approached as he pulled out...he didn't see me until last minute, luckily i could see him first and was able to brake...someones going to have a prang soon though.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
