Locals will have noticed the appearance of two yellow Police signs on Central Road with "Can you help us?" across the top.
The text reads: "CASH IN TRANSIT ROBBERY - On 8th Aug 07 at about 11.15pm a uniformed G4S guard was robbed by two males who fled towards the A3" As I was away at the time it happened I have no idea what went on and the local papers seem equally uninformed, but if you do have any information then 020 7232 6530 is the number to call.
On the subject of yellow things I had a brush with a minor celebrity the other day in the form of Spongebob. Not, however, the large yellow children's cartoon character but the spider monkey who was stolen from Chessington last year. Marlon Brown was given 12 months for stealing him, reduced to 50 hours community service on appeal. Spongebob wasn't so lucky. Having been rejected by his original group at Chessington on his return he was moved to Battersea Park zoo where he was rejected by the females in the group there and has ended up in his own enclosure with another male. They seemed to be getting on well but none of this expense and hassle needed to have happened in the first place if it wasn't for some moron needing to get a life. I'm cross, you can tell can't you. Very nice monkey though

This isn't actually a comment on this story, but the contacts section doesn't seem to work....
As a resident of Worcester Park I check your blog daily in hope of some juicy gossip or news. I’m rarely disappointed.
One incident I witnessed first hand that I thought may have reached you, but never has was one I saw by Waitrose a while ago. It’s so unusual that I thought it may be of interest to you, and perhaps to other WP residents, some of whom may have actually seen it too!
I’d popped into Waitrose for a “top up in-between Tesco online delivery” type of shop and it was as walked out of the car park that the incident happened.
A small Fiesta sized car was waiting to turn let onto Central Road, and when a gap opened in the traffic it pulled out.
However, as it was turning left the driver decided to stop on the corner and stay there. This obviously caused a bit of an obstruction both for people coming down the hill and for other cars coming out of Waitrose.
But that’s not the odd thing – after all, she may have broken down or have been taken ill in which case she’d have had a good reason to stop.
But neither of these were the reason she had stopped.
In fact, she was causing traffic chaos in Worcester Park in order that she could shave her arm pits! Huh?
Bonkers! Surely someone that mad shouldn’t be behind the wheel of a car?
I’m sure she annoyed a lot of drivers that day, but as a pedestrian it made my day! :-)
Keep up the good work,
Best wishes,
The Longster

I am sure you have noticed more "yellow things" further down the road this morning that refer to a serious assualt outside the huntsmans hall.
I only glanced it as i drove past this morning so didnt get the full details unfortunately but the gist was someone had been beaten up in the vicinity of the HH.
Not really the best advert for WP...

Now if she'd been shaving her p*ssy, that would have been a story!!!! I jest, great story, the sort of thing that could only happen in WP!
