Oh, come on: this is a city of several million people. Perhaps if it had been on the night after the fire or the next night, a cancellation or muting would have been appropriate, but going into a kind of mawkish hibernation is the very opposite of what London (and life) is about. We don't live real-life enactments of Twitter feeds or tabloid headlines!

Happened to be on a train out of Charing Cross last night as they were starting. Set off from a barge near Waterloo Bridge, so does sound like that Somerset House thing. More money than sense...but we're no in a period of national mourning or anything, so if that's how they choose to waste their money...

Life goes on...I see the press have tried to make a big deal of it; as we were cycling along Lower Ground on Saturday there was an earsplitting roar very close overhead and I must admit for a second I did think 9/11...turned out to be the Red Arrows heading for the palace to wish Her Maj happy birthday, haven't seen any outcry over that celebration.

"More bloody fireworks- bit insensitive given today's events imo"


Come on man, most people with a party planned in ED won't park it / not set off their fireworks 'out of respect' for a failed bomb attempt in Parsons Green ?!

I'm not sure people are being insensitive (to whom ?) by 'carrying on'.

I heard more than that.


But there was a brief flash of light before (or possibly after, I can't remember now) each one, which was weird. And they weren't very close together.


I thought it was thunder/lightning at first.


I looked out of the window but couldn't see any sign of fireworks.

My first reaction to that post was exactly the same as yours... Then I realised this thread was started a couple of days after the Grenfell fire.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
