Today, someone stole my 18 month old's lunchbag (including all contents - milk, lunch, bib etc) from the pram whilst my mum was playing with my child. I wrote about this in the 'stolen' section, but thought I should add it here so that parents can be extra vigilant with their belongings.


Fortunately, we always carry our respective handbags on us, but I never thought I'd have to worry about someone stealing a baby's lunch from a children's playground. From now on, I'm going to keep the pram right next to us, which will make playing more difficult, but it seems that's what's necessary, and we certainly can't afford to replace it.

Unfortunately, it was an adult, according to the woman who saw the item taken.


Adults should know not to steal and children should be taught not to steal. We were shockingly poor when I was young and no one in the family ever stole, so I have no tolerance for those that do.

Unfortunately I've known this type of theft to happen previously... from the playgroup inside a church no less! It was definitely an adult, and I seriously doubt they were hungry. More likely an opportunist thinking there would be cash. All they got was baby food... and someone's favourite nappy bag. Grrr.


Sorry to hear this happened in GG playground. What does the lunch bag look like, in case anyone sees it discarded? Slim chance but worth a try. xx

    • Because our posting, banking and counter services needs have changed and the Post Office and Royal Mail can't compete with the myriad of parcel delivery services (none of which make any money either) that are there to satisfy our every immediate delivery whim and then when we decide we don't want said goods we block up the Post Office trying to return them for free. Or the sense of dread when you realise a parcel has been sent by Royal Mail and you get the text that says: we will be delivering between 7am and 7pm today (or maybe tomorrow or the day after but we will only tell you that at 6.59pm) and if you want to change your delivery click here and we will put you into an endless loop of clicks that don't let you change anything. I sense this is why our local politicians offer such a weak response as they know the system is broken and there is nothing they can do about it and they don't want to put their necks on the line. P.S. I am using the Royal "we"!
    • There have also been a few instances of it on Whateley Road recently.... Horrible.
    • You seem to have had a run of bad luck, but I don't understand some of what you say. What do you mean by each shop requiring a different bar code etc? Surely you only have one thing to show for each package you are sending or  collecting? Don't you get an email or some other kind of notification which contains the thing you have to show? Are you suggesting that it would be easier to queue up at the Post Office than do it at a shop? You have to show barcodes etc there as well. Where did I ever imply that anybody was "thick" or a "troglodyte"? I did suggest that some people wanted to hang onto the old ways of doing things, like only using cash, that's true. And it isn't that this country "can't run a decent, simple post office." It's that Crown post offices are losing money by maintaining  buildings which are expensive to run,  whilst no longer providing  the range of services they used to, because for various reasons they are no longer needed. And the services which are still needed can be more cost effectively provided elsewhere without causing undue inconvenience to customers. Things move on.  But in any case, nothing has been decided yet. The closure of the Lordship Lane post office is just a proposal. I hate self service tills 🤣
