Any reccommendation for a late night takeaway that will deliver at this hour?

I have been on crutches for the last few weeks following a bike accident. I have now fully recovered and do not need the crutches anymore. I am not quite sure what to do with them? Do I need to return them to the hospital where I got them from? or can I hand them in into a local pharmacy? Does anybody know?

On Saturday I need to get to Heathrow (T2) for a 6am flight. I was hoping to get the Paddington Express but the first train is at 5.10am which is not good enough. Any recommendation for a reliable cab company? The last two times I have booked an early morning pick-up both companies turned up late! Any other option for getting to Heathrow for such an early flight (I have no private car)? Thanks, S

Mine was done as well. Definitely last night between 8pm and 6am this morning. They got away with about ?1 of petrol as the tank was almost empty! Please report to the police - in the past I have always reported it no matter how small the amount of petrol stolen.

After over a year of silence the petrol thieves are back...sigh...tank empty this morning on my scooter. Bastards. Out of curiosity has anybody else been targeted last night as I remember that in the past several bikes/scooters would be targeted on the same night? What's the non-emergency number to report the theft to the police? Thanks

Thanks all very useful replies - it is a day-business trip but unfortunately on this particular job we do not get expenses paid. I was trying to save a few pennies but in this case it sounds like the most sensible option is a taxi.

Next Tuesday I need to catch an early morning flight (6.55am) from Heathrow and I need to get there by 5.45am. I suppose the best way would be a minicab straight to the airport, but I also noticed that the Heathrow Express from Paddington starts at 5am so could get me there on time. Any easy way to get to Paddington at that time tough? Thanks

I need to get to west londo later this morning - Any update on trains from Peckham Rye to Victoria? The national rail website doesn't have specific information. Thanks

Here we go again...petrol gone last night, off to report it now

I noticed the same thing (vehicular crime is supposed to be indicated on those maps). I understand that it is not the type of crime to go top of the priority list for the police, but to ignore it completely as they seem to do is quite annoying...

Petrol gone again last night :'(...reported to the police. If you have been a victim of a similar crime last night (it always seem to happen to several people at the same time) please report it as it only takes 5 minutes. The number to call is 0300 123 1212.

My scooter is alarmed but it doesn't seem to make any difference... The police have just visited to get a few more details on the theft. I pointed out this thread (they were not aware of it) to explain that this is not a localised incident but a more widespread issue. They asked me to remind people that these thefts, no matter how small the amount of petrol stolen, should always be reported to the police. If you are a victim of this type of theft please report it as it only takes a couple of minutes!

Petrol gone this morning from my scooter....groan, new year but same old s***....crime reported to the police as usual etc etc. Now waiting for the usual useless call when they give me advice such as park it in the front garden or the garage (which I have told them countless times I do not have...) etc etc So so fed up with this...:'(

Yes - again for me as well...:( Let's hope the police are realising this is serious and trying to do something about it.

James thanks for your contribution, I fully agree with you, people affected should report the issue to the police otherwise there won't be much they can do. On a side note, is there a way to make the council CCTV department aware of this issue? I only ask as one of the standard questions from the police every time I report this crime is if there is any CCTV in the vicinity. From posts on an earlier thread it appears that the majority of these theft is specific to a certain area and it might be useful to investigate the feasibility of installing (even temporarily - not sure if this is technically possible) a CCTV camera in a strategic location? Initially I thought it might only be local kids trying to save a few quids on petrol, but the extent and regularity of these occurrences (and the fact that cars/vans are also targeted)is making me wonder if this is a more 'organised' operation? I might be wrong tough.
