Common tabloid misconception that. Have a look at the Sentencing guidelines for youths (pdf), wrist slapping isn't on there.

agree about using here. but not clear why getting boards up at the time is a no no (unless this is so common there'd be boards everywhere)

I used to do martial arts and sometimes we'd cover simple self defense techniques. Good one to do is try and walk about with your house keys in your hand - a potential attacker will assume you're close to your house and less likely to jump you, or if they do, a bunch of keys can make a good weapon!

    • Eats Dulwich has just reviewed Arapina, including its hot chocolate!  I assume they read the original first and  very long post on this thread before almost all of it was removed. Interesting to have another opinion!
    • I see you have just reviewed Arapina's  hot chocolate 🤣
    • HA! If only . . . The other night I took the 37 from Herne Hill to Goose Green, only it was diverted via Denmark Hill. That would have been ok, except when the driver reached the junction for Denmark Hill she wasn't allowed to turn right as there were road works on Dog Kennel Hill starting at 8pm and all buses were being diverted via Camberwell Church St and Rye Lane.  I got off there at Kings College Hospital, as I figured it was closer to home than Peckham . . .  Still good for my step count I suppose.
