Yeh watch out for the protests!
the silence is golden and a sign that no whites were the stabbers. Imagine the lammys and abbots getting off on that.

I CONcur, Croydon is as safe as any urban area with a large population, you are absolutely right dan, I am in town 6 days a week, walking about all areas, even the London road to the heath on a Saturday,passing the different groups either side grafting, they never bother me, if you mind your own business, and are over 23, not looking for trouble, you will be fine dan. On the other hand, the stabbing in Coulsdon yesterday might be a different story.Chiselhurst had 2 stabbings Friday night, not sure what happened there either, Wandsworth had 4 Friday, probably gang related I imagine, if anyone doesn"t feel safe in Croydon, may i suggest they don"t come? simples.

You are correct, no idea why i thought over 500k, its only £103 k, plus expenses, not my 600k, but hopefully enough to keep her and her partner Helen in a nice lifestyle, something John Charles might have enjoyed had she not been in charge of that botched operation on that fateful night.

I was wondering what happened with yesterdays coulsdon stabbing, anyone know? I was thinking of buying a place there, but not so sure now, it seems to be getting like anywhere else, remember that poor chap Michael Lavery, beaten and stabbed to death in Reddown road in October? And a woman stabbed a bloke in stoats nest road the year before i think, my pal lives nearby, also the man found in Purley with stab wounds was actually attacked in coulsdon high street last June. I really do think that wherever you flee to, for a better safer life, these incidents will catch up with you, lots of rascals from Croydon have moved out to, of all places, east grinstead, know a few, the trouble you have is if you flee to somewhere like Bournemouth, you get a different type of low life, I know, I just sold up there, almost in-bred, im not joking, father and sons walking about like cloans, strange but true.(great beach thou).

Glad to hear it Ted, best not reveal where or you might have a surge of anti Croydon hol"ers clogging up your retreat! My Bournemouth point should have said it also has a terrible drug problem, Boscombe had/has the most drug rehabilitation places in the country, and its only a small place.Don"t get me wrong, the heath is as rough as any urban area in London, but it2s urban- theres the rub! Other parts of the borough are nicer and as safe as anywhere, I walk through the different dealers gangs in West Croydon every day and they never bother with me, don"t even try and push their wares my way, lots of these stabbings in urban areas are drug/youth related, bit like our youth days going to football. I can see these problems spreading thou, as i previously said, look at Coulsdon, that used to be posh back in the day, Caterham to has undesirable parts. Now east Grinstead is getting rough as fcuk, keep your bolthole to yourself Ted if you want to keep it that way.

The fight where the stabbing in coulsdon happened was in the valley in Hadleigh Gardens off Reddown Road where Michael Lavery was stabbed ‘in a flat off Reddown Road.’ It’s where the recently built flats are tucked away next to the back of and the platforms to the now named Coulsdon Town train station. I don’t know if there are any housing association flats there but there sure will be people renting and when you get a few hundred people together in 1/2 bed flats you’ll get some people up to no good with people coming and going having issues with whoever on a regular basis.

The area in caterham that has a few people with no respect for life or morals is one or two council blocks on Croydon Road which is mainly private flats, private houses and a few shops. A few things have happened with people living there. Otherwise Caterham has so many handy people from older generations who can knock people out or bump into someone again or there isn’t really that much bother, yet. Maybe give it time as more scum either moves into the area or due to generational change. But for now they’re priced out or irrelevant. Most of the flats are so close to the train station they’re not in the cheaper price brackets so office professionals rent them.
