Hello,

did anyone see the group of four men hanging around on the corner of Ashbourne Gr and Lordship Lane this morning? Two were waiting near the atm, the other two in the car (dark grey ford galaxy). I live nearby so noticed them there for about 25 minutes this morning around 9am-9.25am I thought they may have been waiting for the bank to open, but they left before it did.


Or am I being paranoid having read too many threads on this forum?

Don't think you are being paranoid. Sounds like they were waiting to surprise someone at the cashpoint. Have seen it happen at the HSBC one. That time one man and he ran around corner and got in a waiting car. There was a spate of early morning robberies at the Barclays a few years ago.
I almost had my card nicked from there by a very basic Lebanese loop about a year ago but luckily managed to pull the contraption out of the card slot and retrieve my card. Reported it to the police. It was a metal coil that someone had inserted into the machine so it looked like the machine had swallowed my card. I was just about to walk off and leave it then realised and used my key to prize it out of the machine. I think someone would have been hanging around nearby hoping to get the card... Scuzz buckets!

I don't suppose you went in to the bank to report it?

Hi,

no... didn't think of it.

I took photos of the guys and got their car details so that if something did occur I could use that. But otherwise, no.


The Ashbourne/ Lordship Lane corner is a bit of a hotspot for unusual activity, with HSBC and Barclays on both corners. Does anyone know if there are CCTV cameras there - and if so, what their reach is?

I heard it said that local kids used to refer to Ashbourne Grove as 'the river', ie it ran between two banks.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
