Hi there my girlfriend car was vandalised last Sunday morning around 1am in peak hill ,also around 7 others had keys scraped along them or the wing mirrors smashed off , bill of around ?500 to repair,also heard from my mechanic mate that cars in thickett road had been vandalised as well, looks like having a drop kerb put in is the only way to keep cars fairly safe from these half head vandals

On Friday (18/03) evening at 7pm we had a large piece of kerbstone chucked at our windscreen.

Car parked on drive, SE5/SE22 borders. Group of teenage boys seen running away and caught on CCTV. Reported to Police.


Phoned Insurance company who t/f me to Autoglass immediately, excess paid and promises of no reduction to NCB but of course renewal premium will be affected and that of neighbours. Sigh.

Insurance is a joke, isn't it.


You pay out for years, then if you eventually have to claim, they up your future premiums to recoup what THEY had to pay out.

I was reading the other day how the car insurance industry as a whole generally makes a loss, and has done over a 30-year period. Even when they turn a profit (2013 & 2014) it is really slender. If you have an FT subscription you can see the article here: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/3/3aeb5112-eb8f-11e5-bb79-2303682345c8.html#axzz43cwU63k0


It's thanks to intense competition that they don't shoot up even further. I wonder how much money we could all save if senseless acts of vandalism were reduced. The cost of 1 minute's damage is crazy.

    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.
