Hope all is OK too BUT


No point in having technology and not using it.

Insure or use social techniques (don't look like a victim)

That is very true.. The Police really do not want to get involved with this sort of thing. It is not cost effective.


Catching motorists out is much more profitable.

It is virtually impossible these days to drive anywhere without committing a motoring offence.

Speed cameras...Parking cameras... Box junction cameras.. ANPR....

and if we all stick to 19 mph they will reduce the limit to 15 mph

Dulwich Fox - What a load of tosh, of course the Police want to catch people committing these thefts. As for your comment on box junctions, these fines go to the local authority and not the police. The police have nothing to do with them. ANPR is also a useful took to detect stolen cars and vehicles without insurance etc. Spend a bit of time chatting to local officers and you will soon find out how keen they are to rid the streets of thieves stealing mobile phones.

Talking of the Police, I was surprised when some toe-rag scratched my vehicle, that the Police were even interested


But no, I had a call back that day, and the officer came round to see me super prompt 9:00 am next day. Same happened when someone stole Mrs Seabag's front number plate.


Did it fix my car?, no I did that by taking it to get it sprayed. Didn't return the number plate either


But at least they 'take these crimes' seriously, so they told me

Talking to local police today - was informed that several shops in LL and area have been repeatedly targeted by shop lifters recently - some caught on CCTV. From the sound of it there are several people (possibly in same gang) targeting shops on a daily basis. Even charity shops have had thefts of clothes/items.

And speed camera fines go straight to the H.M.Treasury consolidated fund, not the police - worth pointing out that the government give more to local councils for road safety measures such as cameras than the cameras bring in, so the idea that they're a cash cow is nonsense. Oh and if you don't break the speed limit, they can't catch you...

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
