Encounter in Nunhead /Neighbourhood Watch


Lynne

Recommended Posts

Got initially helpful directions from a man in Nunhead this morning who then went onto say he was a member of the local Neighbourhood Watch and could he come back to my house and discuss safety issues.

Am I wrong in thinking this was a bit odd? If anyone knows how Neighbourhood Watch works, I'd be interested to hear.

When we were young we'd walk past a building site. Hey mister, what are you doing? I'm building my own home. Great, can we have a look? Certainly. Each day after school. And then I passed with my mother one day and she thanked the home builder for entertaining young school children. And do you know what he showed us each day?


His days building work. Obviously in this day and age he would have provided us with hard hats and a quick safety talk. Or not approached us in any case due to the risk of misreporting.


Shame we have to be so suspicious. You never know it may be someone genuine - depending on your instincts (and your level of vulnerability) you could ask for more details and say that it wouldn't have been right to invite him round at this stage. Perhaps even talk to the local neighbourhood watch - if he is a genuine do-gooder some feedback from others on approach wouldn't do any harm. And if it is dodgy then SNT.

Trust your suspicions, that?s someone being a creep. Best case, lonely soul wants a cup of tea and a chat, and you?ll never be rid of him. ?Safety issues? is a line that could maybe lead to all sorts of things, perhaps including checking over your house with you and making security recommendations, while seeing for himself which window you leave unlocked and whatnot. Do encourage the local fuzz to have a word, if they can figure out who he is.

Sounds like the adult version of come back to my place and see my little kittens (or puppies).


Totally bizarre behaviour.

Lynne, this was raised at the aforementioned appallingly attended Police Safer Neighbourhood Meeting this evening and they said it had been dealt with. It was otherwise an interesting meeting, as usual. Such a shame the community do not attend these important local meetings.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
