Oh, that is awful! Thank you for sharing that with me; it has helped me feel a bit more normal, but no longer at home.

On friday I was walking home with a friend at about 1.30am. On the pavement farthest from the rye, just past the new vet surgery by barry road we were ambushed from behind by two young black men about 5'8 tall. During the scuffle, I was relieved of my handbag and my friend his wallet. One of the two came back and after threatening to shoot us, grabbed back his baseball cap from me and ran off across the park. Be warned: just because it's a main road it isn't safer - at least two cars refused to stop. And despite our shouts, no one in the houses came out. I have walked home alone often without incident in the last 10 years, but police advised that stretch of road between barry and friern is a dangerous spot due to lack of lighting and camera coverage, so take care! ps.. If anyone found a sainsbury's bag with a black fleece and 'moonwalking with einstein' in it around that area, please let me know. They are unlikely to have held onto those, and the fleece belongs to a friend. I would also be delighted if anyone found my sketchbook but have given up hope on that.

thanks john, that's very useful.

Does anyone remember Thames water putting down bore holes as part of the London Ring Extension? I think there was one on Upland Road near Piermont Road sometime in the last 5 years, but I can't remember when. It would be really handy to know! thanks
