Not wanting to make this a competition, but when I lived on Dunstans Road I had the fuel cap on my Jaguar forced off three or four times. Each time it cost me ?20 in parts to fix. The killer bit was it had an 83 litre tank...


Sad to say that it was actually a factor in us moving house.

is this still going on? I sold my car last year but i was targeted twice by these thieves. my neighbor told me that he saw them doin it but didnt want to get involved because he was on his own. He said there were 2 of them with trolleys that elderly people use for shopping (they must have had a small tank in there) but it was to dark to get a description. shocking to read about the lack of interest from the police. I reported it as well but didnt hear anything back from them

if there are a group of people around Overhill / Underhill road - all bike users only (fuel theives need not apply or respond), why don't we hire a southwark garage together. They cost around 20 quid a week and should comfortably hold 6-8 bikes. We can share the cost and should get a few benefits like reduced insurance costs and not having to pay for bike parts and fuel all the time - not to mention the sheer inconvenience of having to trek to buy fuel, go get repairs made etc.


If you're interested, please pm me and if there are enough people, I will try and find one that is well located for everyone.


Costs will be a share of the garage costs and the cost of a key.

We are on Belvoir Road, has happened to our scooter about 5 times now; the only thing we can do to help it is secure the cover tightly looping the lock/chain thru the eyelets in the cover and firming it tight up against the bike, makes them work a little harder at least.

Ild be interested in a communal garage option if there are enough of us and the location is right.

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
