I foolishly answered the door this evening and was then sweet-talked by a pleasant young woman offering a free "exterior assessment", to be arranged over the phone. I even gave her my name and phone number. It seems, in retrospect, that this is some sort of scam (I am now kicking myself). Certainly I have now found comments about this being a scam on other community groups, indeed they were the top results when googling "Red Ball Marketing". Does anyone know quite what the scam is? Is it simply trying to get one to sign up for unnecessary building work or rather something more sinister?

yours worriedly!?

this guy came to my house last night too

wasn't pushy - he was quite nice for random sales person


i asked him how his company made their revenue

he said that they booked commission from construction companies who would come round and fix asthetic or structural problems with a house


scam or not, i dont know anyone who'd consider employing someone who randomly goes round people's houses on a friday night to drum up business... weirdo

      Lost Cat Henslowe & Underhill Road

      By jfern · Posted

      Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know

      That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring

      The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.

      Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
