Never heard of them! The place in the screenshot attached?

If you are at home and are able to, please put water out for our lovely local birds ❤️

Was that in the post removed by admin?

If they are kids, I don't suppose they read this forum, or are even aware of it 🤣

Well yes, but I think it was on the BBC and other sites as well. I don't use Twitter/X apart from publicising our gigs. But I take your point. And also yes, obviously other priorities, but presumably the whole Met workforce was not at Notting Hill!

My "assumption" was based on those people having seen the publicity about what he's done. I thought that was obvious, so apologies if it wasn't. And the police thought it was serious enough to publicise it via various media outlets. Clearly it is particularly relevant at the moment because of the recent rioting etc, so I guess they are publicly hammering home the point that any form of racism won't be tolerated.

I really cannot understand why the police have not found this man. All I can think is that the people who know him don't want to tell the police who he is because they agree with his racist crap. Why else would you not? Even if you were his neighbour, presumably you could do it anonymously?

How did you come to have a £50 note in the first place?!

Why? To study? To meet each other? To game? Why do they need separate spaces in a library?

Barclays online service is appalling, in my experience, so probably their offline service isn't usually much better. I was briefly a customer (I only joined to get a payment for switching) and had so many unnecessary problems. If memory serves they don't come out well in customer satisfaction tables in things like Which and MoneySavingExpert.

Surely somebody must know this man. He has quite a distinctive face. And cap. I can't understand if the police can later identify and arrest masked rioters why they can't identify someone they have a very clear photo of.

Isn't Alleyn's a separate school? Have I misunderstood the article?

It rings a very very vague bell, but I don't think this is the right thread to discuss it, given the subject matter. Because they could remove the graffiti?

??? Where did you see the handwriting and black marker? It's been masked in the material the police have publicised.

Years ago, I used to get loads of starlings in my garden, until one day one was carried off - in great and noisy distress - by a bird of prey. I realised what was happening too late to do anything about it, though not sure what I could have done anyway. After that, not a single starling came back to the garden. Ever. I get loads of sparrows now. So I hope this bird doesn't get one of "my" sparrows and all the other sparrows disappear, as I'm only round the corner from Crawthew Road 😢

I hope they find him and jail him 🤬

Give it energy in what way?

I'm so pleased!

You've lost me, Malumbu! Is it some song I should know?! I'm in Ulverscroft Road, so it could very likely be the same kids. Thanks!

Oh dear.

Ah. Kicking. Yes, that could account for the very loud noise

The banging sounded too loud to be kids, unless they were very strong with big hands!

What section are they advertising in? I haven't seen any adverts or posts from them? They recently sent me another email asking me to review them, so I can only assume they didn't read my first email 🙄 The actual checkup was ok, it was quick, they took x rays. I presume they didn't find anything wrong. They didn't suggest I saw a hygienist, so my gums etc must be ok.

No, I was sitting on my sofa right at the front of the house, with the living room lights on! Yes, but they didn't wait for me to open the door, so I don't know how they could realise they were at the wrong address. It was a massive banging, it wasn't a "here's your food" type of banging! Yes, that seems the most probable thing, which is why I wondered if it had happened to anybody else, and if not why they picked on me 🤣😭 It was quite disconcerting, and it caused my neighbours to check all over their house as well for any signs of what had caused the massive noise. If it happens again I would have to assume it wasn't random, and that would be a bit worrying as to the best of my knowledge I haven't upset anybody!

Has anybody else had someone bang extremely loudly on their front door and then disappear? About 8pm tonight. I didn't open the door, but I called out "Who is it?" twice, then looked out of the window but there was no sign of anyone either on foot or in a car, so I think it may have been someone on a bike. My neighbours heard it as well and didn't know what the very loud noise was. I'm just wondering if this was a random occurrence or if it has happened to anyone else, and if so whether it's just somebody being annoying or whether they have some criminal intent.
