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

      Winter ailments going round ED?

      “never complained” lol yes you are referring to illness specifically but judging by your posts?  Can imagine the headline   NOT ONE OF LIFES COMPLAINERS sure and in case anyone complains I’m “picking” on someone - her post directly attacks someone as “a pathetic wimp”

      Fair enough. Perhaps I’m wrong  but the country can either have rising house prices or affordable housing. Which means falling house prices right? or is there a scenario where all of the existing housing stock rises in value while the hundreds of thousands of new, affordable  homes are somehow immune to the same market forces? How do we build enough affordable houses for our children yet insist on our own houses going up in value? Both can’t be true. Enough new housing stock has to lower existing housing prices  if  not , where am I wrong?

      I don't really see the linkage between the two factors tbh

      This is weird. I don’t think CPR Dave can be called “the left”    I don’t know him - but if I had to categorise I would say somewhere in the “reform/upset Tory/maybe Green protest category” and I don’t think anyone on the left is actually crying? The people I do know on both the left and lucky enough to own a home worth this much are in favour    so, what  exactly are you saying Lindylou? (I have many problems with the current govt.  On some issues (immigration) I think I would use the word disgusting as well.  Maybe for different reasons to you.  But as a government they are a disappointment and poor and not the shambolic 57 prime  ministers in 6 months we have been used to in last 10 years)
