    "Mummy Mummy, when will I grow up?"
    "Don't be silly son, you're a bloke, you'll never grow up"

    Oh dear, that's horrible. Condolences to all that knew him.
    I find hit and runs so depressing, the thought that someone would leave a person having done that always upsets me. At least in London you'll be found quickly. I really hope they find the driver and throw several books at him.

    The Standard said it was 'gang-related'...

    More to it than a hit and run then, very sad none-the-less for all that knew him.

    Carries a lesser penalty than the more traditional gangland execution. How many times has it been said on here, if you want to bump someone off and get away with it use a car. Forgive the cynicism.
