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.

      Nursery school

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
