In that case we know each other in real life! I'm in the red:

Just popped out for a late night takeaway, it's always a mistake.
Noticed a youngish well dressed guy, stripey top (i think) and red trousers being very loud,very animated with another similar lad.
Thought a fight was developing. Then thought he was drunk but none of that fit quite right. Similar lad had to use a bit of force to subdue youngish lad and attempt to calm him against window of PayDay Loans.
Got my food and both were now outside Barnardo's. Similar lad was joined by another attempting to calm red trouser man who was now highly distressed. Both were struggling to hold onto him. I was concerned for the welfare of the man in red trousers and as i crossed the road towards the Police Station a police car parked up and two officers decanted, i indicated there was a possible problem. They could hear him screaming as i spoke to them and could have looked around the corner or walked 20 meters to investigate but dismissed my concerns by saying they might have a look on CCTV later.

Never normally talk to the Police and fuck Brixton Police. Hope that man is ok.

Absolutely fucking outrageous.
 
I walked home last night at around 10.30 past the Atlantis Bar which is normally empty. It was heaving with people who looked like they should be in Clapham.

Hmmm...OK...looked quite like this but with tan tape.

BUT if you were going out on a Saturday night, and you needed to have this tape on, wouldn't you wear trousers? Unless you just wanted to look like a bit of a cock?

Are we to assume this comment is made entirely in jest?

Tempted to report this to Coldharbour Safer Neighbourhood Team (local plod), what time was it roughly? I intervened in a street robbery once on the start of Gresham Rd, opp police station. A van-load of cops were turning into Gresham Rd, so I stopped them and asked them to help. They just drove off :eek:, I couldn't believe it. I reported it, doubt anything ever happened. Hope the guy is okay. Isn't their job to assist members of the public, protect, and prevent crime?

It was approx 03.30hrs. It probably was not a street robbery. I got the feeling that they knew each other but i just don't know for sure. It was so out of the ordinary even for a late Saturday night that those coppers should have checked on the welfare of the man.

Yeah, nothing looks like where it should be when viewing London due to all the bends in the River making things appear where they shouldn't be :D

mate of mine lives in part of a rectory near a tube station- kids set light to the other half last week, firemen turned up, kids were doing that strange arson thing of standing round watching the place burn, so firemen called the police (they had been asked for in orig 999 call, but hey...). Police didn't turn up even when the firemen, ie another emergency service, were saying the arsonists were 20 feet away and could they please come and do something about it :confused::confused::confused::mad:
 
Minnie, Must be the wind direction. Can't hear a thing.

My only real beef with the fringes of the god squad is the 'charitable status' that doesn't really seem to benefit anyone except the preacher's family or the church hierarchy.
