Just a gripe really, but we had our kerbside car door kicked in on Saturday night. The car was parked by the Barry Road / Underhill road junction, and when I went to take my daughter swimming on Sunday morning, I was greeted by the sight of the obviously man made dent in our car door.


They have managed to kick or fall on the lip of the door too, so the dent wont just pop out, meaning a ??? repair job.


Just what I needed. I dont suppose any one saw anything at time (wishfull thinking)


Amazing how some people get their Saturday night kicks (excuse the pun) these days.

I live on Barry road and have seen drunk people walking down the road pulling off the wing mirrors. And on Christmas morning 2012 I was waiting in the car passenger side with our 2 children in the back and a drunk man walking along with a couple of mates. Fell towards my car. Stopped. And smashed my wing mirror off with his elbow!


Called police. Chased the man down the road (in car so I knew where he went) He was from the place at the end of Barry road. Asylum seeker. He was arrested. Pleaded guilty. Receievd a letter from the police to confirm he pleaded guilty and was charged. But we were never given compensation to fix our wing mirror. Such a pointless crime. I just don't get it. And quite scary being sat in the car with my children while this happened.

In my experience this brand of crime is typical of areas where you have long roads such as Barry road.


I have lived in one or two villages with winding lanes which tend to keep your average thug concentrating on the task in hand. However, whenever you relieve them of the need to keep their wits about them they tend to revert to type which is predictably unfortunate for those with premium autos.


The answer of course is to present the thug with a distraction such as an orange cone filled with sand. He will be drawn to it like a fly to something unpleasant all the while tiring himself out wrestling with the sluggish base.

    • Aleksandra was the driving force behind the conversion of what was a nice but very outdated house into what is now my beautiful, vibrant and modern home. I cannot recommend her enough- she was a pleasure to work with- she has an uncanny eye for detail and her sense of style is unparalleled. She knew where to push me beyond my “safe beige” colours but always kept my personality and preferences in mind. She sourced fabric / colours / lighting designs , she found local options for spectacular interior ideas in the kitchen , display cabinets , bathrooms , bedrooms and wardrobes. She never went beyond budget and was very timely in her execution. The result was a beautiful home that even after 8 years looks as stunning as it did when first put together. It is as liveable as it is beautiful and none of it would have been possible with Alexandra. I truly could not recommend her highly enough- there are few people with her work ethic and style. Thank you Alexandra !
    • The Lib Dems are against tightening visa requirements to live in the UK and against shrinking the university sector, and also (at least in Dulwich) against housing being built if it means that foreign students live in it. 🤷
    • Maybe once you have left and have nothing to lose, name and shame him on appropriate local forums? Assuming he doesn't have loads of mates who would then make life "difficult" for you,of course ......
