Uncomfortable experience walking to hotel

But Sarf Laandan tends to be dodgier than say Ealing or Camden or even Notting Hill IMHO.

What a silly statement. Because Sarf London is one entity isn't it?

Whereabouts was it, Cojak?

Oh yes, sorry, Sarf Laanan _and_ Wandsworth, innit

Is 'Sarf Laandan' near 'That London'?

Or Barnes, Richmond, Sheen, Dulwich etc - all of which are much safer than anywhere north
The two times I've had some trouble have been in Fulham and Camden. Someone I know had his cheekbones smashed in a brutal mugging in Chelsea.
The pattern is that where council estates crowd round rich areas, the level of crime is higher.

So why do the rich people stay in such places?

OK, I can think of lots of social reasons why it's a good thing that they do, but personally I'd sell up and leave if they built a council estate near Tester Towers.

You don't understand London do you?
A visit to any of these rich places and their proximity to the City would answer your question.

No. I don't need to.

Just another reason why firearms should be made legal in the UK.

If that was the case the story would read:

cojak: "I was walking to my hotel after a few drinks and suspicious bloke tried to chase me - gunned him down before he could say ABC - will be getting a medal from Mayor of London Boris the Bullet Dodger."

What about buying an attack alarm?

Also, saw this on Amazon:


I also did a search for 'skunk spray', but there doesn't appear to be any such product. I gather the smell of the real stuff is much worse than one can even imagine.

Maybe the danger of getting some on yourself while using it had prevented it being a usefull product.

Don't tell him Cojak
