Just thinking about how I will collect my dd and bring her home safely. Would it be better going by tube or bus? Why do we have to live like this?

sparks do whatever is quickest and do it quickly.
things are already kicking off in se london.

There is all kinds of rumour, gossip and misinformation going around at the moment. The best advice from the police is to keep yourself and your family indoors. Collect your DD however you would usually do it. Stay alert and get home as fast as you can.

What, where in SE London!?!?

Here too in High Wycombe. We are preparing for trouble here. Apparently the intelligence is that they are heading for the large Wycombe retail park here. Unusual number of police in town as I was going home.

sorry glitter been on work conf call. shops in peckham advised to shut down around lunchtime today; there were gangs already hanging around rye lane by that point. i thought they'd be asleep till mid-afternoon at least...

oh - and saw the gangs and the shops bringing down the shutters with my own eyes. dragged the kids home pronto so know not what happened thereafter. there were various reports on twitter but that it is not entirely reliable and heard sirens, chopper at certain points but it seems quieter at the mo.

Kidbrooke?! Wtf

Slough McDonalds on fire and Tesco Car Park attacked.

Yeah Kidbrooke not far from me either. Lots of sirens but nothing else yet

DS in EC1. Shit.

I mean barbican....

This is a useful link, for those that are worried.

ooh I'm on there too. Not quite sure that the shops of Kentish Town hold much valuable loot though (Poundstretchers?).

I'm wondering whether my sainsbury's delivery is going to be hit (sorry mundane).

I'm getting a leetle bit sick of peoples hysteria tbh. I've posted on that site, I linked to. Someone just said that a shop was on fire in my town. I am so close, that I would hear the emergency services going to it! I can hear absolutely nothing!

my sainsburys delivery has been cancelled grr (camden sainsbury's closed alot of the day apparently). i'm sick of it too now!

A friend of my daughter's broke her leg and needed to use a wheelchair. The hospital sent her to the Red Cross shop to pick one up. When she got there, they were in the process of closing and said the police had advised them to and she couldn't even get the wheelchair.
