Mugged at knifepoint near Greendale (Aug 2nd 2017)


Recommended Posts

RP Child - Southwark is hit and miss on this. Some roads - Barry, for example - have the big trees cut right back, even at the base where the new twigs sprout, but other places are left to grow like topsy. Ring the enviro line - 020 7525 2000 - and ask them to keep it in check, if it is indeed Southwark's responsibility.

Sorry to hear this and glad you were not seriously harmed.

Worrying to hear as I'll be using that regularly soon on school drop offs, not something you want to hear about and 6pm is not late or dark either. It's really a prime spot if you think about it as it's like a dead end then an overgrown pathway. I have messaged James Barber in case anything can be done re CCTV or something to improve security.

All descriptions of perpetrators should include passport no. and DNA profile.

Anything else, ie. not specifying name, exact height, brand and colour of clothing, shoe size, and inside leg measurement is simply generalising.

Imagine warning people about a mugger and only providing the details you managed to observe during the attack, perish the thought of such an ill-informed and badly thought out approach to raising awareness.

If the only detail you could pick out during the mugging was the fact that it was a black man then that's not very helpful. Try going to the police and say you got mugged. The police will most likely ask for a description and you'll be like 'well he was black and a man'. Cheers buddy, that really narrows it down.


What's the point in even saying it was a black man when that literally doesn't help at all. Would you have said it was a white guy if it was a white guy who took your phone? Of course you would. I'm very sympathetic towards the victim. But find it very odd the way that was worded and slipped in st the end of the post.


Kidkruger, I see what you tried there but it wasn't funny. Good effort though.

stantonb, yes it was a slightly undesirable turn of phrase, but the OP had been mugged a short while before at knifepoint - I'm sure anyone who's been bored with my posts on here can tell you I'm tiresomely politically correct but in this instance maybe cut him/her a little slack, under the circumstances?

Not sure the OP was offering that as a complete description, but in any case when you're the victim of a crime, particularly a violent one, it can be surprisingly hard to remember anything but the most obvious things about the aggressor. I believe the OP is also not a native English speaker so in what must have been a very stressful situation they might not be able to think of another way to say what they wanted to. Please don't turn the perpetrator into the victim here.

Yes, and people on here have done in similar circumstances.


ETA: And I am unclear why you have called me Susan above.

it would seem that this alley has insufficient lighting and in the winter months is rather dark has anybody contacted the council or contacted the police in reference to this as this is a on going problem for as long as i have lived in the area surely some responsibility is with the council we all pay our council taxes and have rights


maybe its about time a petition was started about getting some CCTV along there maybe a long shot but nothing tried nothing gained


i know it is a good Short cut but maybe this alley is best avoided in the dark evenings

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
