I hope the girls are not too traumatised.


If you know of anyone who might go to the park and be approached by this man a couple of things I was one told at a self defence class years ago which have stuck with me might be worth them thinking about - if they can.


Shout out ?Help officer? - the article says police patrols have been increased so there could well be one around. If nothing else the distraction could give them time to get away / to somewhere with more people.


Ask someone for help but identify them - lady in the blue coat. People find it harder to ignore if you are clearly speaking to them and they are unlikely to know the name of the person they can see in the park.


Hopefully no-one will need to use these tips before he is caught but with schools reopening there are likely to be more girls going through the park. Maybe these tips will mean a compromise between girls and their parents. It would be a shame if girl had to avoid the park just as the restrictions are eased and they might be going more frequently.

More tips

If assailant realy close.. Knee jab or squeeze gonads with all your strength, jab eyes using forked index and middle fingers, dame technique up nostrils are off the record tips given us after the Official Breakaway training we had when I was working. Somee of them are same as given me by my Mum. One of the trainers even carried hmmm dunno how to describe it - made of metal, a bit shorter then a pen but with rounded ends- using it givea hard jab in that hollow above where collar bones meet is very effective.


If just feeling very threatened then use one of those horrendous alarms which should fringhten bloke off.

    • I recently used Paul to chase some cables, one in a very tricky place. And replace light switches. He did an excellent job, was a great communicator, very professional. He will now be my go to Electrician   
    • Don't' google which companies are US based, as google itself is! Perhaps Qwant it instead 😜
    • Trees in streets can cause e.g. boundary wall disturbance and issues around the trunks, but remember that tree roots in the main go down, so are unlikely to directly disturb foundations of houses, although they can, on clay soils, have some impact on water tables which may consequently cause movement. However trees, with most older houses, even where they may show some cracking are often not actually materially disposed to cause real problems (which more often are caused by building on hillside slopes etc.). We had slight cracks in a front wall facing the street when we bought our house nearly 40 years ago, the cracks have now effectively closed and over those 40 years we have had no subsidence issues at all, (fingers of course still firmly crossed).  Insurers love subsidence and 'rising damp' as it allows them to whack up premiums without any real risk to themselves. Unless you now have clear and visible problems I really wouldn't worry. And I'd certainly not start any process which may only result in your paying much higher premiums, or making your house unsaleable in the future.
    • Agreed 100% also. We went through an epic trauma getting a tree removed in Forest Hill and were then made to go through our insurance by the council for the repairs. Ended in complete misery--raised premiums, difficulty switching insurers, and all for a few very minor cracks! It's changed a lot over the past fifteen years, from what I can gather, because the previous owners of our house had a much more serious problem with the same tree, but they managed to get their insurance to force the council to pay...
