Just to make Parents aware, my son has been subjected to attempted mugging outside the junction of The Gardens. Forest Hill road near Harris Boys School. 3 black Boys 1 black girl pinned my son down to the ground trying to steal his phone. Lucky enough a gentleman in a white van pulled over scared them off and helped him out.


My son has mentioned a white and black uniform which they was all in they was about 15 to 16 age.

That sounds very unpleasant. Please do tell your son's school, as well as the [police] Safer Neighbourhood Team. These kids seem to carry on doing this stuff until they're picked up - which they often do because they are not master criminals.

Not in any way to excuse or belittle what has happened here, but when my children were teenagers (20 and more years ago) such muggings were very common (and just as awful to suffer) - I can recall one (male) friend of my children reckoning he and his friends were mugged for phones every 3 or 4 months!


That sort of crime is far less now, it seems (phones aren't such a catch now, I'm guessing). Let's hope this is not the start of another upswing.


My younger daughter's phone was in such a battered state that when she was last mugged (the second or third attack she suffered) the mugger gave it back, urging her to persuade her father to get her a better phone!

    • As every day goes by, it looks increasingly likely that Trump is going to sell Ukraine down the river. It's a re-run of Chamberlain and Hitler over Czechoslovakia. Trump talks of re-allocating "assets" which means conceding assets of Ukraine to Putin  and of putting in peace-keeping forces into Ukraine  to "guarantee" security. History tells us that peace-keeping forces are ineffective. Remember Bosnia & Hertzogovinia in 1996. Remember the peace keepers on the Golan Heights. They disappeared without firing a shot when Serbia and Israel took military action. It will be the same in Ukraine. Give it five years (or less) and Russia will extend its land grab.  Sadly, history repeats itself because the appeasers fail to grasp the realities. Just pray that The Donald becomes the fifth before too long.  
    • Niko completed a third job for me now. A leaking tap that was oozing from everywhere. I called Niko in the morning, showed him a recording of the problem,  and he was over with a new tap, fitted within the hour. Job done, perfect! I know I can always rely on Niko. He is my go to plumber.
