See the Nunhead crack thread for another victim. It's been going on for years as I remember my boy when he was about 10 (8 years ago) coming back from the pool after a swim without his bike. It had been stolen but more than that HE felt so bad about it. He was crying. Luckily it was insured and he got a brand new one in a matter of days.


They are a lot of bas*ards out there!

I bought a set of Pinhead Locking Skewers from Balfes Bikes some time ago. Not saying it makes your bike totally un-nickable but it's certainly given me a bit more peace of mind when locking up an expensive set of wheels. I think Balfes might sell them cheaper than ?50 and they're VERY easy to fit. The key is unique and if you lose it you can get a replacement. Highly recommended.

I find it depressing that you cannot take your eyes off it for a second before some thieving creep lifts it, and even if they were caught nothing is available, which I consider a true deterrent, can legally be administered.


In the middle east nobody takes anything not belonging to themselves, as the punishment is dire, so it can be done.

I have left my bike unlocked in my front garden since i moved here in august , and outside nearly every job I have had since then and nobody took it till I ventured into Nunhead. I think it lasted well and the Karma deterent did the trick for quite a while. I have always thought the more I worried about it getting knicked the more likely it was to happen. Then it did! feckit

    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting  but the Tories, 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
