3 men over the last few weeks have targetted a neighbour who gets a little confused re trees cutting down, tiles coming off roof, guttering blocked etc.. Forked out over ?7000 to these guys in cash - only discovered when spouse looked at their joint bank statement. Police notified.


Also heard of this week, vulnerable pensioners being targetted - elderly lady in Dunstans Road area lost a couple of hundred pounds in cash when helpful man offered to put a new light bulb in her room, then helped himself to her cash. Thought to be the same man who got her to sign a cheque and then added a few noughts. Luckilly bank realised it was a forgery and made contact.


Please warn your elderly folk that there are many con men around at the moment

    • "Squander"? "Capricious folly"?
    • Strongly recommend Oskar and his excellent team- They've just completed the demolition and removal of our precarious cracked  brick boundary walls, fences and concrete paving in our exhausted front garden. They levelled the site and re-established the appropriate gradients with stone substrates before installing  excellent new paving, a new brick wall and new fencing - even approved by our neighbour- as well as new beds for our planting plans.  Oskar is a good communicator and kept us informed at all points, adjusting plans as necessary and always finding solutions.  Previous works by Oskars on the back garden 4 years ago were excellent and have stood the test of time. Strongly recommended. 
    • if small family homes are priced at £2.000.000 in SE22 I suspect they are over priced.
    • That's exactly my point Ian. The council will collect on behalf of the government. Not on behalf of themselves. The government then decides how and where it is spent.  So poor people in Southwark might end up paying Southwark to collect the government's mansion tax and watch the government then squander that money anywhere else they see fit.  I really do hope the government reimburse the council for collecting this tax on their behalf.   As regards villas in Burbage road, I'm actually talking about two small family homes currently on sale on my road in Se22 for about £2m. No doubt neither will now be saleable and this government will miss out on £155,000 of stamp duty tax that will be payable on these mansions when they eventually sell under another government that cancels this capricious folly.
