I was driving my old MGB the other day when I got the strong smell of petrol in the car and the she suddenly cut out. When I managed to free wheel it down Barry Rd to Kevin (highly recommend mechanic for classic cars) he quickly figured out that it was out of petrol - turns out that someone had cut the fuel pipe under the car in order to siphon out the petrol the night before. Kevin mentioned that another classic car owner in ED had petrol siphoned from his car in the same week.


I think these clowns are stealing petrol from old cars because they usually don't have alarms - the f*ckers!

Who says old MG's don't have alarms... mine does (and bizarely Central locking too... not bad for a 72 car...)


It is more likely they are stealing from old cars because the fuel lines are easier to get to then modern ones... that said I am sorry to hear that you had your car vandalised and your petrol stolen like that... could be quite dangerous if you were just about to pull out in a tight space on a busy road...


Thank you for bringing this to peoples attention, I hope you reported it to the police and that someone catches the idiots who are doing this (thinks good firm kicking would be too light a punishement for anyone who damaged my old girl)



Glad Kevin was able to assist and hopefully it won't happen again.

      I see their website has it as https://www.royalmail.com/services-near-you/delivery-office/peckham-and-east-dulwich-delivery-office-se15-5au, though I wouldn't be at all surprised if they're also distinct administrative or operational entities for some purposes.  I note, for example, that Peckham (SE15) isn't on the list.

      Covid & Flu vaccinations recap

      By ianr · Posted

      A reminder of the current situation. Covid-19 Eligibility: https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/ Availability: NHS are no longer running their own appointment-making system. This winter's version is still available from pharmacies until 31 January.   They may have individual availability times, see:  https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/pharmacy/find-a-pharmacy-offering-walk-in-COVID-19-vaccination-services Flu Flu vaccinations (65+, pregnant, higher risk, or private) are available from some pharmacies.  See https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/pharmacy/find-a-pharmacy-that-offers-free-flu-vaccination for details of eligibility and a link to a pharmacy finder. Some may offer appointments: you may have to dig down into their individual listing. RSV Currently eligible/recommended: If pregnant (at 28+ weeks), or age 75-79, or became 80 on or after 1 Sept 2024. This has been available from GP practices.  I was offered one by text.  When I responded a week later they didn't have any available but gave me one by appointment three weeks later. https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/rsv-vaccine/ Other vaccines https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/

      Street trees: when is it time to call time ?

      By ed_pete · Posted

      I get that they're being pollarded. This estate was built in the 60's and so I'm guessing that they're around 60 years old.  Nothing wrong with that but even when they re-grow they're hardly going to be the most attractive. Y'know just musing on improving the look of our public spaces.

      Lordship Lane Post Office Closure

      By malumbu · Posted

      Pretty repetitive on the transport section.  I like a good discussion and this does raise wider issues.  I miss banks more than post office branches which tend to be part of other stores.  A few other threads on the Lounge, come on over.  Or 🐕 💩
