Copy from facebook tonight.


At 2.00pm driving south on Crystal Palace Parade this afternoon when while in a traffic jam noticed a commotion ahead in the traffic queue. Four young guys in hoodies (it was sunny) who were walking in the middle of the road surrounded the car two in front and started banging on its windows and shouting. Suddenly a girl got out of this car and ran out screaming, she ran past the car in front of us and stopped at our car screaming help I'm being mugged can I hide in your car. Not too sure what was happening but always suspicious I gallantly drove off. Later feeling slightly guilty we mentioned it to the staff in the company in Croydon we were visiting and they laughed and stated that we were the intended target and it's a scam. They are waiting for us to open our doors then all five of them lean in rob you and run off. So always keep your doors locked and have enough space from the car in front to escape.

Isn't it just awful that we have to be suspicious , even if it was genuine, it's just horrible having to drive off, leaving us feeling guilty not knowing if it was a scam. There was a series on tv and in one scene, a girl was laying at the side of the road in the evening , a man stopped and went up to her, he got badly beaten and robbed. I know it was on tv However it makes you think. I guess it's a good idea to have car doors locked, as heard of lots of people getting robbed at traffic light. Glad you are ok Mrs y.

I used to stop for people - 3:00 AM in Catford, some guy flags

me down, jumps in and asks me to take him 1 mile down the road.


He's on the phone to his girlfriend telling her he's already

waiting for her where they arranged.


Everyone thought I was mad to stop :)

    • I’m guessing that “work wear ” doesn’t include suits and “sportswear” doesn’t include Dulwich Hamlet colours. Or rugby shirts.
    • Nikolay & team were fantastic from start to finish - really responsive, easy communication, explained what they would do and delivered on it, and crucially delivered high-quality work. We bought a house with very tired floorboards that had been covered up by carpet for a very (very) long time, with cracked floorboards, and big gaps between some of them - just generally dirty and grim-looking. Within 7 working days for three rooms, a corridor, and an entire staircase, the floor was sanded, some floorboards replaced, gaps filled in, and finished to a great colour and feel. We hesitated a long time between restoring the floor or just covering it up again with a new floor, but really glad we went down this route and found a great team to take care of it. It was also a very reasonable price for the amount of work done - would have been a nightmare to do ourselves without the right kit etc at the start, so glad we spent this money. I would highly recommend NN Floor Sanding based on my experience with them.
    • Is the Bishop still owned by the guy who started Meat Liquor and who annoyed all his ED neighbours during his house renovation?
    • In my experience, if your child's SEN leads to behavioural issues, do not send them to Charter North. It's just endless detentions and threats of exclusion. Too many people try to get in because it is Ofsted outstanding. Not a good sign for SEN, your child would likely be better off in an Ofsted Good school with a better understanding of and attitude towards SEN. The new SENCO might turn things around.
