Matt, walking down dark roads, Black Cabbies don't even want to drop people off in Brixton, SE London, East London. You must have lead a sheltered life. Even in parts of Chessington, my son realized the minute they got in his cab they were up to something. When they got to where they wanted to go they jumped out and ran and jumped over a brick wall, and he only saw one get up, so one got his karma. Also Putney we were coming back from the boat club after a do, A young man came charging down the back of British Home Stores, a taxi was chasing him , the taxi driver was an ex boxer, he jumped out grabbed the suited young man told us, to hold him , made him sit on the pavement while he called the police. The young man had come all the way from up town, got a cab to Putney asked to get out and go to the cash machine and made a run for it. But didn't get away. That young man was one of our local young Estate Agents who go round to your houses. Oh Matt and what about all the local stabbings, perhaps your not worried about your children, but others are.
