Stef, I read your account of at the time - sounded terrible.
Even so, I've lived in this neck of the woods for about four or five years now though and tbh while obviously stuff goes on - it is a deprived part of London after all - it's not as common as people think. I've heard of far worse areas south of the river, and compared to some other places I've lived in - Barcelona, Paris, some shorter stays in bits of South America - it's really quite tame.
Though of course it's still a shitter when something does happen.
Anyway, will stop derailing the thread now.
