Hi,

To the young lady who had her phone stolen by a lime bike this evening at the junction of Brenchley Gardens and Forest Hill rd.

I chased the thief and retrieved your phone.
When i returned to the junction, you were gone.

If you are reading this or know her, DM me.

Well done.   If you're interested in helping to possibly nail down the perp -- to get them identified at least, even if the police/CPS don't end up with enough for a prosecution -- I wonder if it would be helpful to: (1) contact Lime now, to tell them of the time and location and incident, and that you are reporting the theft to the police, and ask them if they are able and willing to check their bike location records for the incident and _retain_ them for use by the police.  It may be that records of each bike user's travels may not be retained long after their hire period has ended.  And (2) notify the police on-line, with the basic facts.

Keep the phone charged and the owner might eventually locate you if you leave a note on your door ("I found your phone") else they might think it's where the thief lives....

Reported to Met Police and Lime Bikes already. Hoping someone knows her so she can have her phone back....

Wouldn't it be lovely if the actual bike could be identified via GPS/time/triangulation and that it turned out that the perp had hired it using their own credit card and that the police would act decisively if given that info. Sadly I think there's too many ifs in that sentence. But well done for being a good samaritan.

      Lordship Lane Post Office Closure

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      Apologies if this has already been mentioned as it's a very long thread. While it would be a great shame if post offices closed down for people that need them, is everyone aware of this service? I didn't know about it until this week. https://send.royalmail.com/ I had to send a small package and it was difficult for me to leave the house so i ordered online for the item to be picked up - it was £3.35 for a small package so i don't think significantly pricier than if I'd done it over the PO counter. And it was totally seamless, I didn't even have to print a label they bring one to your door to stick on when they collect the package. Highly recommended.

      Not sure if this is exactly nature, but does anyone else have Holboellia in their garden? It's an absolute thug of an evergreen climber, and it seems to grow at about a metre a minute in all directions,  but it redeems itself at this time of year when it's flowering. The scent is absolutely wonderful, even with just a few flowers presently out, and I can even smell it inside the house. Apologies to anyone whose garden mine  has wandered into, but do take a moment to appreciate the scent before you cut it back! ETA: I have a zillion things to do, but I'm sitting in the garden watching the insects.  One very small hovering thing with apparently no brain (or whatever passes for a brain in insects) just flew to my Libertia, attempted to do something with a load of unopened buds, failed, moved to a just beginning to open bud, failed, and then flew off,  completely ignoring all the open flowers on the same plant. Maybe it's a reincarnation of someone like Trump.

      I know that for some people, particularly those with small children (and possibly also those with mobility issues) the convenience of having a surgery within a very short walking distance outweighs any other considerations. Also, there is parking available near DMC for those living further away. I guess it is a matter of weighing up pros and cons. Plus, familiarity is important to some, and also many people don't realise how easy it is to change surgeries. Btw none of the above is supposed to imply that pressure shouldn't be put on DMC to improve.  Though maybe a load of their patients moving elsewhere might help focus their minds!
