Huggers

I am now thinking maybe the call was for Thomas the Apostle school which has a similar number to mine, (we've been rung before by mistake) and the 'i think Ive been talking to Huggers and we got cut off' was her not knowing who she had just been talking to at the school and so assuming it was the female name on the answer machine...

well this is what I wondered....and what got my paranoia going but I haven't spoken to this person before like they say we have 'just had a conversation and got cut off.' Surely you would leave your number on an answerphone? if it was a premium number you probably wouldnt check if you just used the 1471/3 service. the way she started by saying 'i believe I am speaking to Huggers Name (mispronounced, so maybe she didnt have that much time to write it down) blah blah' ....sounded very odd, and as I say, the name could have been picked up from the answerphone message, although the number itself doesnt appear in the directory of market cold call spammers, the 0207 450 prefix is a common denominator to all of them. p.s. edited to add, my children are teenagers, where from all paranoia comes.

is there? I've only heard that message attached to certain numbers?

I've had a very odd answer phone message- the person knew my name (I'm not in the directory but my name is on the answer machine though in my husband's voice...duh!)and said she was Jamie's big sister (someone Ive never heard of) and that we'd had a conversation and been cut off and if I needed to discuss her brother further to ring back. No number left. Like an idiot I did a 1471/3 as I assumed it might be the school or something who had rung wrong parent, and got an anonymous answering machine. Then I actually listened to 1471 and the bit I hadn't listened to before, which was 'to return this call, press 3, there is a charge for this service'. I have googled the code and it is a landline but a virgin one, so not attached to specific location. The message was vague enough for me to be really curious and then wondering if someone else in my family had been impersonating me! has anyone else had anything like this? Obviously I dont want to ring again...but I originally left a message saying I didnt know what they were talking about, so if genuine would realize mistake. aaagh.

inserting your finger up dog's bottom should deter it, and also it's a litmus test of sensible behaviour: something you would only do if you really knew you weren't just being paranoid. or carry a brolly.

naked sunbathing may put her off the garden visits.

She sounds like she has a personality disorder and is beyond negotiation. However- can you get landlord to fence the access path so that she is separated from you in her journey to her garden? my friends did this in a previously unfenced garden. It could be offered as an action to protect HER privacy. Ignore her when she is in her garden, invite people over, sunbathe....it's possible she is a narcissist enjoying the attention.

there's Saturday morning badminton club get together on saturday mornings at Harris

Had lunch there bank holiday Monday, very nice veggie pie, mash and peas with gravy. It was about 8 quid which is what I might pay for a baggette and cappucino in some of the LL cafaterias. They do a delicious 2 point something real ale for people who want to sup something not too potent too which is excellent for those who want to go there, have a beer and drive.

I'm just back from a month away and can't go through all the pages of this thread, so sorry if this is a repeat quesiton, but where are the questionaires to be found? I hate it when questionaires are put out by stealth when everyone is away! They did that with the parking.

Brilliant!

is it open yet?

First Mate you are an absolute hero. I'm glad there are people like you in the world.

I use the milkman and have had the occasional theft but now he leaves it more discreetly inside the wall. It is delivered very early and I suspected the thefts were made by late night small hours revellers.

Moved here from Pimlico in 1999 full of dread but like living here very much. The new East London Line is an added bonus.

sounds familiar, FJ, but still no idea how it works! no funds appeared in my sons account and had no idea what to expect, just the promise of untold riches if he lent his card. The boy who recruited him has now been caught, but maybe he was an equal but more proactive idiot.

My experience is the targetting comes from an older child in the school - But I believe it's a pyramid type scam where there is a chain all the way up to the conning theiving adult who has basically scammed everyone. Skegness may be able to explain it more clearly-as we are still working it out!possibly like the Nigerian internet scams.

thanks Skegness, have sent you pm. Teenage years are such an anxiety, I feel every year there is a crisis of ultra stupidity.
