on the way home from work, turning into the street before mine, police with blue lights on but no siren's up head on the the road on was turning from, i turn and suspect they are on there way to an accident on the busy A road not far away, but no they turn into the same street i'm already on, still with lights on and no siren's, they over take me and the car in front and then turn their lights off, pull over at an angle, jump out and put cuffs on a man(he was a beefy well built guy as well) that was just on the street!!
wish i knew someone that lived in those flats to see if i could find out what was going on!!

YY to Beckton Alps - it had a ski lift and everything Grin I lived in E15 and E13 and remember when nobody wanted to live in the Beckton area until it was gentrified.

I also remember driving past the Full Metal Jacket site many times

Silvertown in E16 was also awful especially around the Tate & Lyle factory

OP, as someone who grew up in a household where at one time the police were frequently called due to DV (while our opposite neighbours stood outside their house loving every minute), I would ask you to please bear in mind the people who have been affected by whatever 's gone on. Not critsising you for being curious, just trying to give you a little perspective.

Amicissimma, I'm only speaking from my own experience, which was of one of my own family calling the police while our neighbours gleefully looked on. No one ever tried to make sure we were OK or offered to help.
