I've had fuels stolen from my old Vespa parked in the front yard. Quite easy to get at the fuel tap/hose, just under the bodywork on the right hand side at the back. Have a quick check that the fuel hose is attached.


Otherwise - does it have problems starting or starts fine? If it does have issues, it may be that the fuel tap is dud and not shutting off the fuel flow. Cheap part, easy to fit.

Honda Riders in Peckham is the one my local car mechanic directed me to when I first got my bike. When it was time for a service, I got 3 quotes and HR was the cheapest (?40ish compared with ?70ish at a place in Croydon and ?120 at an official dealer - all for the same job!).


In the end, I went for the even cheaper option of spending ?16 on a Haynes manual and doing it myself.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
