[Closed] First looter sentenced is a 31 year old teacher!!!

Brit: Australia, that's where we sent all the criminals

Aussie: England, that's where all the crooks come from

Ernie, I think you'll find Central Parade took a bit of a hammering up there too.

Mind you, I also heard that the unofficial King Henry's Drive Residents Association are now, errm, self-policing the situation quite successfully...

in the posh part of Croydon

Pardon? 😯

Joke, right? 😉

I did a 1/2 marathon through Croyon, posted my fastest time 😐

Yeah I heard about Central Parade Nobby ....... I'd forgotten about it 🙂

My point still stands though, the New Addo lads are sound IME. Just rough diamonds and pikeys.......a bit like me 😀 As your "self-policing the situation" example shows.

All the more impressive as you were carrying a 42" plasma TV at the time, eh?

Black male who worked in a primary school. Does not say he is a teacher.

That sounds about right Ernie - they don't like anybody s***ting on their doorstep. 🙂

He is a "learning mentor" not a teacher

The only learning mentor I experienced at school was a well aimed board rubber.

I thought teachers spent all their free time marking and planning classes for the next day.

He obviously doesn't teach 'How to Hide behind a Newspaper'...

oh dear 🙄

Hitman - have you heard the one about the two elephants that fell off a cliff?

Boom Boom!

Obviously, two elephants didn't really fall off a cliff, and even if they had, it would be more like squish, squish. You see, sometimes things are simplified or exaggerated for comic effect.

Well, we [b]were[/b] told that all this violence was down to young Black men not having enough positive role models...

oh noes...I misrepresented him...argh...I feel terrible.

How very true that is Nobby - seriously. I've stayed up New Addington quite a bit over time, initially I thought it was just a matter of time before my van was broken into - but it never was. I've had a van broken into and all my tools stolen from being parked in my front garden in South Croydon though - and I wouldn't be surprised if it was New Addo lads what did it 🙂

A couple of years ago I was working on a site in New Addington, and as I used to walk down to the shops young lads loitering in the street would acknowledge me and say hello, not in a piss taking cheeky way - proper respect 'cause I was an older bloke. They're like that up there - kids showing respect to older people.

It's a shame that it's a forgotten estate which is seen as an embarrassment that is best forgotten. And they are solidly anti-BNP too btw, despite the BNP's best efforts to make inroads up there. Yep, it might be a depressing forgotten estate, but they are sound as a pound imo.

Were we Zulu-Eleven ? Show me where we were told that - I haven't heard it.

Or did you just make that up ? .....like you usually do.

I lived there on & off as a kid Ernie - like you say, there certainly is an order & respect that you don't see in many estates these days. Not quite the old "honour amongst theives" of old but a clear understanding of right, wrong and morality. IMHO of course. 😉

Also appearing at Highbury Magistrates Court, 19-year-old Adam Ozdas, from Hackney, today denied receiving stolen goods.

He was stopped by police in the East London borough and found to be in possession of a large bottle of Southern Comfort, a large number of National Lottery scratchcards, tobacco, £90 in cash, and confectionery, the court heard.

Prosecutor Abiodun Kadri said: [b]"He stated that he found the items on the road and that he was going to hand them into a police station."[/b]

😆

Proof he's dumbass though...

He actually does walk into a lamppost

He obviously doesn't teach 'How to Hide behind a Newspaper'...
