pepper spray may be illegal, but a large pot of black ground pepper left forgotten in your bag after a long ago trip to tescoes isn't.

thanks Ladysaw and everyone, my son is remarkably stoic about the whole thing, like a gazelle given a fright at the watering hole by a jackal, shaken but keen to rejoin the herd.

Hope he is ok -

Did the police catch them..?

I found this from 'nunhead_man' post above -

http://www.selfdefenceweaponsuk.co.uk/legal-pepper-spray-uk

and also this:

http://www.ukpreppersguide.co.uk/uk-legal-pepper-spray-alternative-for-women

its a red dye criminal identifier spray.

They are both good articles - I have bought some for my family to carry now.

This was years ago so not sure what the law says now, but remember a police officer telling my school that itnis a crime to carry any weapon, and (this is the bit that stuck with me) if an old lady carried sone salt or pepper in her bag just in case, she could in theory be prosecuted.


I suspect they wouldn't actually prosecute, but it's interesting.

Dirt in the face, making out you're going to be sick, shouting out 'excuse me officer'


All these can work.

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
