Oh vanilla.. how awful for you.. it is like everything you do and have done is being thrown in your face.. but if he isnt prepared to help himself you cant do it for him.. and sometimes you have to face up to the fact you have given all you can and the how much more is fair on you or the children? Look after yourself and those munchkins.. and !!!!!!!! to the estate.. let them gossip.. you may well find you get support form the strangest of places. Huge hugs to you all xxxxx

If anyone saw Sky News in Croydon - I'm about a quarter to half a mile from the place that was alight. The little !!!!!!!s have gone into the next street to the house and looted all my local shops as well, by the sounds of it, including my beloved music shops.

A bunch are riding around on specialist racing bikes at the moment outside. Roughly two grand apiece. And the bike shop will be out of business, I reckon. Almost all down this bit are sole traders and family businesses. Oh, for my old air rifle.

I hope things have calmed down a bit. Stay safe. I don't think many of us are out of danger if you live in a large town
It is the small businesses that will suffer, and have a knock on effect locally. Valli - it probably will increase insurance premiums (any excuse!), although they obviously won't be paying out anything, because they don't cover riots :mad::mad:
