I saw the first half of this, before Rab C Nesbitt came on elsewhere ..... What a load of bollocks. Greedy people just out to make money because they can. Cut yourself shaving? Sue the razor company. We've just become a sueing (sp?) culture, innit.

I also think, if it's keeping you awake at night, send them back whatever you think is fair (though I'm sure they'll be absolutely gobsmacked as they probably don't even realise they could have got it cheaper), and next time sell on eBay at a "Buy It Now" price if you're not happy to benefit from an auction.

Southwark Noise Control. And record each call you make, as they won't necessarily do that. Or, find out their landlord/housing association/whatever and try complaining via that route. Or, get other neighbours together and put in a joint complaint. The problem I had with extremely noisy neighbours was completely resolved after months and months of frustration, but maybe there were different issues. Several lots of neighbours got together and complained to the Housing Association. Not easy as we got fobbed off and passed around different departments, but it worked in the end. Good luck.

Lawrence Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- . Aggressive selling to persons unable or > unwilling to risk defending themselves is in fact > theft. xxxxxxxxx No it isn't. It may be wrong and unpleasant, but I think you'll find it is not theft. ETA: Your post above seems to imply that the theft is separate to any selling activity?

If you have no evidence, why do you say "the real income here is from theft"? That's a serious accusation. Aggressive selling of overpriced teatowels is one thing, but at least if you answer the door you have the choice to say no. Theft is something else altogether.

Why is this thread now in two places, with the same name?

How do you know this, Lawrence? Not saying you're wrong, just wonder what evidence you have. Edited to say: They used to come round during the day in the nineties.

What happened to the other Uplands thread? I don't think it's necessary to label ED as either a village or a town or anything else. I just think to call something a village within a City is a bit odd, unless there are historical reasons for it, and we already have Dulwich Village just up the road. Sorry but I think to call a bar "The Villager" is just odd. Just my opinion. The Page 2 Bar (?) called itself The Village Inn or something of that ilk a couple of years back in one of its brief incarnations, and the first time I saw the name I just thought, that's so not right.
