I lost my purse on Friday evening at the half moon at Herne Hill. I didnt really expect to see it again but some kind wonderful person handed it in to the bar. All my cards were still there and the money untouched. Most importantly a precious note written by my little girl was in the purse. The person who found it didn't leave their name so I have no way of thanking them personally so fingers crossed they are on the Forum.


Thanks

When there are so many scary stories on this forum about burglaries/muggings etc it is great to know there are still many honest people out there!

Most people are honest.

The scewed impression that honest folk are a minority is probably a function of the negative headlines / threads about robbings etc.

Most of the people you pass on the street don't mug you, but they're not lauded for it, so the baddies get all the attention.

Steveo - Probably because of the mess it would cause and the hassles of having to explain to passers by and police etc, if we could just switch people off who p!ssed us off on the way to work and they just vanished leaving no mess or body to trip over, there'd be loads more murders.

Yes huggers you are right it was a pull the other one event! Yet another reason why I love pull the other one !


Kidkruger I agree the majority of people out there are good and honest and being an optimistic sort of person I was so happy to be able to post something positive !

The headline of the OP caufht my eye, I knew they were talking about me and then, reading through I realised it was someone else. The purse I 'found' at the weekend has translated into a month's 'free' shopping at Waitrose! Blessy you, granny, I know you left it there just for me.


Ps: if you want your teeth back, please PM me your address.

Perhaps I should change my op to "still some kind/honest/funny people out there :)

    • "Dedicated to the purpose-built student accommodation sector. PBSA News is the leading source of news, insights and analysis for professionals, investors and stakeholders in the purpose-built student accommodation sector. With a mission to provide the latest information and foster collaboration within the rental community."   The PBSA take on the strength of the market seems much more upbeat than does the govt. research paper. Perhaps they are right or perhaps it is in their interests to talk up the market?    
    • I think a lot of people here are just speculating about empty student accommodation properties. Student accommodation developments are very popular because they provide really great rates of return for the owner. A large student accommodation owner, Unite Students, saw 97.5% occupancy across their assets in the 2024/2025 academic year. They have many properties in London; https://pbsanews.co.uk/2024/10/09/unite-students-reports-record-occupancy-rates-in-q3-2024-update/ Here's a bit from CBRE on PBSA properties in London from May 2024: https://www.cbre.co.uk/press-releases/london-plan-policy-fails-to-deliver-affordable-student-accommodation - "According to new research by CBRE and QX Global, the gap between demand for PBSA and available supply in London currently stands at 100,000 – 105,000 full-time students, underscoring how demand for student housing has outpaced supply." - The development pipeline in London isn't keeping up with the demand. Ultimately this development wouldn't be built if student accommodation wasn't in demand. It's proximity to the station means that a student could get to any number of universities easily in a short span of time. Is it ideal? No. Would more affordable housing be better? Yes. Is speculating about channel migrants occupying the space uninformed idiocy? Absolutely.
    • Really pleased your cats are both home now, but what a very difficult situation.
    • it isn't said on any news source that I look at. Are you asking on social media whether what you read on other social media is true?
