(not like when I was young, we were all miserable).


Talk for yourself - I had a fantastic childhood - most of the summer either on the beach or in the woods building dens (wouldn't be considered safe now)............ I had free meals at school and we were too poor to go abroad on holiday and I had totally bonkers parents - but I was very happy indeed!

May I cordially suggest he try this approach in the Whetherspoons in Peckham.

I'm confident the parents' response will make him long for a Mrs *Bob* style eye tent-pegging.

But actually I'm with Quids, your 'friend' doesn't actually do this, does he?

Bob he still has two eyes so he couldnt have met your other half, I wonder if she knows you fancy me . The thing is, everyone expects everyone to like and tolerate children. I was in Sainsbury's, the checkout woman say's are you collecting books for schools vouchers, I say 'no i dont like children' and everyone near by gasps and stares at me speechless. No humour, nothing, just shocked faces. Result for me as she undercharged and off i strolled leaving the stunned queue behind me .

Nice people, your friend doesn't have a beard does he (or she)? :))

    • A pretty awful incident.  Thankfully from my time in London fairly rare.  There was a time, particularly in North London in the 00s when moped gangs would come up behind cyclists and grab their bags.  There were also scare stories about riders being pushed off at the top of the hill and the bike grabbed, or cyclists being pushed into a canal such as the Grand Union.  I think these were very exaggerated. In recent times, cyclists, in particularly women, have been mugged, on cycle routes when other riders are not around, such as Deptford/Millwall  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm27x5klxxlo But I expect that crimes involving threats/violence by criminals against cyclists are less likely than in other areas of life.  Mobile phone theft being one of the obvious examples.  I was told many years ago following a burglary that criminals would rather not have any contact with their victims, and bike theft would sound to be less risky to them by stealing locked up bikes (far too common) rather than attacking the rider.  The spate of thefts from builders vans in broad daylight knocks this a little on the head, as the criminals are often confronted. @Rockets as a regular cyclist in the past did you experience threats etc?  My worse experiences were being knocked off by dangerous drivers, once being left for dead in a hit and run, and road rage where drivers chased me or threatened me after they had passed to close, turned across me etc.  You learn from this and do your best to avoid such conflict.  
    • Whilst I am not sure if this is appropriate to this case, I know that often people from minority groups don't feel safe with the police and there have been many incidents where people from minority groups have been mistreated, beaten etc, just for being.   
    • It certainly was😁 Bob S
