    Remember....when in London.... keep your valuables out of sight.... and if u find something that tickles your fancy....buy it..... as u may not get to cover the same ground twice...
    Have a safe trip !

    Too bad they can't snatch mine; they'd be doing me a favor.(LOL)

    Odd fellow helps out Oddfellows! I knew about those skeletons. If all else fails, he can rent them out as props and cover expenses. They're cheap to feed but rent is rent.

    I don’t know anyone who’s had a phone snatched here.

    They got some politician recently and broadcaster Nicky Campbell but he grabbed his back. They are swooping in on bikes, it’s rife.

    You might not know them, but it happens and it's rife.



    How common is phone theft in London?


    Phone theft is a growing global problem, but in UK terms it's predominantly a London problem. Government figures published in September showed that “snatch thefts” had gone up by 150% on the year before.9 Oct 2024
