well not the allotmemts as such (the ones the other side of the South Circular from the Village up the hill that is) ....... rather leaving your stuff unattended on them. my friend left a few things in a bag by the side of her allotment while working on it today (err that is technically yesterday now) and the bag was nicked. This included her car keys and loh and behold she had to walk home on account of the tea leaves helping themselves to her car. Apparently it happened to someone else there late last week.

I had this happen on my allotment. Gun site on Grange Lane, but two years ago. A bunch of kids hahging around, so I thought I would be friendly instead of being anti young people. They distracted me, took my bag and raided my car, which I left unlocked. I knew where they went to school as they told me!. So reported it there. If your plot is on Grange Lane like mine, take care at lunch times

Do these posters annoy anyone else?


I don't like to be told to hide my mobile phone (or Ipod if I had one). They are portable items of equipment meant to be used in public spaces. The posters imply that by using a mobile phone in public I am somehow responsible encouraging crime and criminals. This seems, as my Devon neighbours used to say, "Arsy versy".

    • So Southwark in No Overall Control? Green / LD coalition?
    • Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.
    • That would be 78.231 m3, that is 78,231 liters.  The average water consumption per person in the UK is around 141 liters per day I believe.  So I'd say you're doing very well 👍 Have you tried to report your reading online?
    • Apart from potentially saving money (which TBF is more likely if there are fewer people living in your home) it is better for the environment to have a  water meter,  as you have an incentive to use less water. But roll on the re-nationalisation (is that a word?) of the water companies, before our green and pleasant land is covered with raw sewage. And so that the money from our water bills goes to improve the infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of already rich people. Vote Green! Ooops sorry, that's another thread.
