drobnik,
my friend enquired in Macdonalds yesterday and was told that someone used a hammer to smash the windows. That's all I know...

Quite correct, this is not the first time this has happened. Earlier it was believed it was a drive past gun/air rifle around two years ago. This establishment is DEFINATELY being targeted by an unknown person. Why? Some say drugs revenge, some say pure vandalism.

Maybe animal rights people? Or crusaders against capitalism. Something like that?

May I suggest that the person was either drunk or on drugs. A drive by with an air rifle! An air rifle would make no effect on a double laminated window but a hammer would, as we saw last week.
Lets face it, we live in time when people simply don't care and have very little respect. We will probably find it was someone who was drunk, missed their bus and took out their frustration on the McDonalds windows.

Perhaps a frustrated bus driver/passenger lost it as a result of the constant parade of anti-social idiots who park with their hazard warning lights on in the bus lane!!!

Les, you have nailed it on the head. I wonder why so many of them cant read because there is a no parking sign right there. There are also two red lines down the side of the road but I guess they would have had to had passed a driving test to know that.

Yes - My post was a bit of a rant, but you get the picture!

Sorry Les, not having a go at you. I was being slightly less than charitable about those that ignore the double red lines and the rather large no parking sign and the large "bus stop" sign.

Maybe some police presence on the high street would help , in the five years i lived in Forest Hill i saw 3 policemen/women on patrol .

When you do see the police you gain the impression they are too afraid to upset peoples alledged human rights to do anything,
Also have they reduced the height limit of police , they seem to be much smaller than before

You may be one of the police officers who have only recently joined the force but back in the 80's there definately was a height limit for the Metropolitan Police Force it used to be 5ft 6inches for women, but being 5ft 3inches I was refused. So no myth!!!!!!!!

I can't believe that a member of the police force doesn't know a basic fact like that - maybe it is true that they let anyone in nowadays!

Sorry, I was born in '79. You'll have to forgive my lack of knowledge to this end. There definately isn't a restriction now.
