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

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
