Quote Hoof Hearted at 29 Oct 2015 10.59am Ahhhh (Nostalgic Sigh)..... I miss West Croydon. There was time to get yourself a steak slice and a coffee from Greggs and not miss much of the action. Fair play to those girls... they made a formidable tag-team! They actually stabbed the guy with a broker bottle too.

[Link] VIDEOS posted on the internet of crimes being committed in Croydon are undermining attempts to improve the town's reputation, says the councillor responsible for safety and justice. Mark Watson acknowledged such recordings help police to bring about prosecutions, such as in May when a 14-year-old girl was given a detention order after a video of her attacking a young boy on the Monks Hill estate, Selsdon, was watched online more than 2.7 million times. But he believes the videos damage the perception of Croydon and, in some cases, may be encouraging criminal behaviour. He said: "In this day and age we can't stop people recording things.

Croydon is just a punchline to a lazy joke. If this sort of stuff happens in Peckham or Camberwell, it's not seen as hilarious.

Hahaha - Damaging Croydon's reputation? Better that people are forewarned I feel! Load of bs that comment. Just because they're not being videoed doesn't mean it's not happening. And you can guarantee that for every video like this there are 20 more that were never caught on camera. Keep videoing em I say then the state of the place can't be denied. West Croydon needs some sort of investment because to call it a broken toilet would be a complement.
