Florida. The Tube.

NickW. Get a grip, as my son might say.

Lox this neither the time nor the place for a wider discussion about police policy. Try the drawing room.

Spill it sister.

Terrible news. My thoughts are with the fanily.

As probably one of the few black people on this thread I have to say I think the OP and her partner were very measured and responsible in their descriptions. Race was part of an honest and really quite detailed description. It's the uselessly generic 'black youth' label you sometimes get on here that gets up my nose. Pick your battles allthebestnames. There are plenty of them to fight but this ain't one of them.

Re dogs in parks it's more the crapping pissing and mating that motivates my reservations rather than any realistic fear of savaging. Even the most 'broken britain' kids tend not to behave like that . In dulwich at least. But I agree we should all coexist in peace and harmony. I think we should heal the world. Make it a better place - for you and for me. And the entire human race.

I'd rather have nuisance kids in the park than dogs.

Hope you are both ok . Hope the attackers get what's coming to them and make the connection and are therby deterred from further thuggery. Really good you reported it and have come on here to give us a propotionate and sensible warning. Even better that you are recovering faith in humanity . Power to you both

Thanks guys - will follow all this up....

DavidM - yeah I have a picture of the same car parked in the same place.

Pepsi - you presumably therefore agree that the parking wardens must also be fined when parking illegally - as witnessed by a number of folk on this forum...

Hopefully this is the right forum - and I'm sure this isnt a unique situation. Does anyone have any tips on handling a romance with a single mum of a three year old - especially when it comes to valuable adult time alone. Babysitting agencies tend to be horrifically expensive. Relatives are all a fair distance away and so the only real date-night option tends to be other parents from school. Obviously there's a bit of quid pro quo involved - and anyway, there's a limit to how often one rely on that option. Help! A lifetime of watching Holby on a Saturday night beckons menacingly. Also: When is it ok for the little one to find the "boyfriend" sitting perkily at the breakfast table ( having woken up absurdly early to avoid being caught in bed) ? I fear it could prove nerve wracking for everyone involved. Any suggestions from either side of the gender divide gratefully received.

GSJ57 I am sure it was scary at the time - but well done on making it work. Takes head and heart! Although I think the odds are against the long distance option, your life shows what can happen when fate,love and committment come together. I salute you! Katie take note - but only follow suit if you think your relationship could be as special as that enjoyed by GS

GSJ57 - what an inspirational tale! Makes me feel ok about being a soppy old romantic. That said, I am currently opting out of a possible transatlantic relationship. I think I just need that daily face to face contact for it to thrive and grow. I need to know first hand what the emotional weather is like for my partner. Katie 1997 - I guess there is no rule that fits all people. By the way, I am really hoping 1997 isnt your d.o.b. If it is, you should be doing homework rather than contemplating long distance relationships! But assuming it ISNT your d.o.b, how long distance is your potential relationship? Is it something that could be handled by a discount rail card - or does it require a frequent fliers' programme?

Reggie! You, sir, are the man! Regards to Sly. Off topic I know, but still.....

What? Is Reggie the eponymous Reggie of Sly etc...Wow! Repeck!

Johnh - I am getting a stress headache just reading your post. Talk to the local MP about it. And what about that councillor guy who posts on here. Get him involved as well. Grrrrrrrrr
