I think this is good advice. Also keep your hands out of your pockets - it sends out a more confident signal and you may need to use them to protect yourself.

I just saw this thread and felt the need to respond.....all kids are potential victims, whether they carry valuables or not...mugging is the new bullying, except now the bullies get a reward; a phone, an MP3,a watch, a wallet, a bike, a handbag. I don't agree that kids should just give up their valuables without a struggle unless they are totally outnumbered and without witnesses. Muggers now realise they can have anything they want because kids have been told not to struggle.....I don't know what the solution is, but the police need to be around when kids come out of school, ready to face these muggers and break the cycle......

A man came up to me just as I was opening my front door to tell me he'd just been mugged last night. I saw him standing on the opposite side of the road with two men as I pulled up but just parked the car and thought nothing of it. He came over and said they had just mugged him and may have got nasty if I hadn't have shown up when I did. I told him to report it to the police and offered to walk with him to the corner of the road. This was at junction of Goodrich Road and Barry Road - shakes you up a bit when its on your own doorstep!

    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
