A few weeks ago my bicycle was stolen from the shed in our back garden - chatting to a neighbour we found they had suffered an identical crime a couple of weeks earlier - we both live in corner houses, the side gates were locked so the thief had to climb over the (high) wall, and in both cases they only took one (the better, of course) bike, so maybe it's just one person. So watch out if you think your bike's safe - these thieves could be back. Landcroft/Goodrich Road area. Sorry the warning's a bit late, I'm new to the forum.

Sorry to hear that. I've lost so many bikes over the years that I know keep mine indoors, although living on the 2nd floor of a building with no garden makes this something of a necessity.


It wasn't you that put up the signs on your garden fence was it?


If so I don't suppose that it worked and the thief was made to feel so guilty that the cycle was returned?

Any lawyers on list? How does the law stand on measures to protect your property? Is it down to what is 'reasonable' Crushed glass is effective but electrickery perhaps not! Personally I'd run a cable on top of the wall connected to a car battery (as farmers have done for years)I'd assume conecting it to the national grid might cause 'issues' shall we say

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By redjam · Posted

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
