First they steal the front blue tyre and now they have taken the whole bike!!!!

Just now by the Herne Tavern my son's bike was nicked.

IT IS very distinctive with one back wheel which is BLUE!!! IT IS DNA marked with an orange sticker under the frame to let thieves know this. It is a GIANT TERRAGO make, grey in colour. If anyone sees it or knows anything please PM me

Dulwichmum a word of caution for your au pair: The possession and use of pepper spray by 'civilians' is extremely controversial and illegal. Possession can result in a firearms charge and if my hazy memory serves me correct I have seen the use of pepper spray amount to an assault with a deadly weapon.


Now I know you're being facetious and pulling everyone leg as per usual, but I'd hate to see someone get unduly deported.


Commiserations on the loss of the bike lilolil, I'll let you know if I come across it.

I'm sure the aupair only has the pepper spray to keep her little charges in order, so more a tool of her trade than an offensive weapon ;-)


Sorry to hear about the bike lilo, it's become a bit of a landmark. First yellow, then the blue wheels. Let's hope it turns up soon. :-S

hmph.....he popped into the shop....was only seconds, which is all it takes. What makes it worse was that he had another bike stolen from there a couple of years ago.WE KNOW, WE KNOW, and really dont need reminding that it was foolish, but anyone who knows my madcap son (and lots of you do) will know how impulsive and spontaneous he is, and like many others doesnt think....

IT IS a very dinstinctive bike, and apart from the rear blue back wheel, it has a playboy logo on the front mudguard!!!

Feel slightly let down by the community warden who was very sarcastic saying dont you know the number of the police...it's 999.



update two boys were seen walking up dunstans road with it

Another update re description of the bike...

It has a hydrolic brake system i.e two small cannisters containing oil on each of the handlebars.

It has a bike chain within a tube around the frame and the seat to stop the seat from being removed. There are three mudflaps, one unusually in the centre of the bike.

This bike has been DNA identkitted and has an orange sticker underneath the frame.

We just want it back no questions asked.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
