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

      A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10!

      Highly Recommended Painter / Decorator - Temi

      By nipperpenrose · Posted

      Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

      Dawson heights parking charge notice

      By mary123 · Posted

      The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time

      Threads that devolve like this should be moved to the Lounge, so the 'comedy' can continue in an appropriate vacuum.
