Some people fill their blogs with pictures of flowers, or birds, or their extensive collection of chocolate bar wrappers. I live in South London and therefore have to make do with pictures of signs put up by the police appealing for witnesses to serious assaults.

When not guarding empty multinational office buildings from bogus terrorist threats, the Police have been pretty active in their drive against serious assaults in my area lately. Most significantly, they have taken to handing out leaflets to people advising them not to wear watches, possess mobile phones or carry anything else worth stealing on their persons. If this tactic fails to deter muggers, young women are advised to run as fast as they can to the nearest fried chicken shop and take shelter there. Several local fried chicken shops have been specially designated as official 'Safe Havens'. Yes, there's nothing like tucking into a Bargain Bucket of counterfeit Special Recipe Chicken to take your mind off the thought that hooded men are waiting for you outside with their hands in their trouser pockets.
