I can hardly think Sainsbury's management expect their security guards to put themselves in real physical danger - the guy could have had a knife. As it was it was bad enough. But as you say, we just don't know. And just to be clear, I am certainly not trying to detract from people's bravery in acting as they did. As randombloke says, "I suspect that we all have our own way of dealing with these sort of things in the heat of the moment". Of course if you are dealing with thieves and violent people in the course of your job, you will hopefully have had appropriate training, but I presume that doesn't include voluntarily continuing to engage with somebody who is kicking your head in. Apologies if I've misread the situation.

They will just report a "miscollection" and collect it "within 48 hours". When I said it wasn't just me, they said "oh well when they come to collect yours they will realise other people's haven't been collected either." Er, how? It's all in closed bins! Then they said, they will realise the whole street hasn't been done. Er, how? When other people phone to tell us. Words fail me. Surely they have a collection schedule? ETA: They must have said "missed collection", not "miscollection", sorry!

Hi Nero, whilst DulwichFox knows a lot more than me about computer issues, I don't think you need to get too paranoid over this. It only happened to me once a few years ago, all I did was change my email password (not my whole email account), I did nothing else and have had no further trouble. You'd be very unlucky if you did. I'm assuming you have the usual protection (anti-virus etc). I'd have thought your bank would be liable if anybody hacked into your online account, provided obviously you hadn't left your password lying around or given it to anyone :))

As it is, it sounds like he could be rather injured. It's not as if he was saving someone's life - he was stopping someone taking two TVs, who the police would probably have caught later on anyway.

Will be some red faces in the recycling department tomorrow, I guess :))

Maybe they spent so much time and money printing booklets and buying hideous bright blue bins that they forgot to actually give the bin crews their new schedule :)):)):))

THey told me when I complained that its all > above board and approved by the ASA! xxxxxx Naked Wines are absolute crap. I thought their wine must be OK as I had a ?50 voucher from Heals (when I bought a very cheap kettle there :)) ), so I assumed Heals had vetted them. They sell expensive rubbish covered up by a load of flannel about social responsibility etc.. Plus they hook you in via a scheme which seems to be good value but actually isn't. It's not often I can't force something down, but I had to throw some of their wine away because it was undrinkable. I keep meaning to complain to Heals, but now all and sundry seem to be giving away their vouchers. Sorry admin, off topic.

Just been out to check and my food waste hasn't been collected either. Nul points, Southwark :X

10 factors that helped Knox's case

Except that Untamed Stylist now lives in Cornwall!

Brilliant! I'm never sure whether to put things obviously dropped on a wall, or to leave them on the pavement, I usually compromise by putting them on a low wall .....

xxx Sorry admin :))

Thread already on the forum here!

Can't get smaller blue bins, only the blue boxes.

Some of them were the fathers of small children.

It was nothing to do with not having anti virus or spyware software.

No idea, but it has happened to me and also to various friends. Emails were sent out purporting to be from me/them but were actually not. Sometimes they are for things like V****a sales, sometimes pretending the person concerned is in financial difficulty (eg wallet stolen on holiday) and they need money sent to them. (the asterisks are because I've been prevented from posting this and I think it might be because of the V word!) There's been some publicity lately about the latter scam. I had one of them recently. I don't think it's by an automatic bot, at least not usually, I think it's by a "real" person, but I'm sure others will know a lot more about this than I do. Most important thing is to let your friends know that they must change their email password. Edited to add: They could also warn the people the emails went to not to click on any links in them. Could be a problem with viruses etc..

Is there some reason why I have been able to post on various threads today but now when I click on "post" nothing happens? ETA: Obviously this has worked, but there is a thread in the lounge I can't post on? Maybe it's a temporary glitch, I'll keep trying .... ETA: Belatedly realised it was because my post included a "banned word" - V**GRA !!

Yes your friends' email accounts have been hacked. You need to tell them to change their passwords.
