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!?

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

      New Shops in East Dulwich and Nearby - 2025 Edition

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Ollie's is another restaurant concept from the same people that do the Megan's chain. It was pretty mercilessly mocked on a thread somewhere on here. The Megan's branch on Lordship Lane closed not that long after it opened for a rebirth as an Ollie's, but it didnt seem to have happened last time I noticed. The Crown & Greyhound is closed until Thu 19 March for renovations (and staff training, hopefully...). The Romeo Jones booze and entertainment licence application closes for comments sometime this week. Simba Dulwich Ltd is the applicant. https://southlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/london-borough-of-southwark-simba-dulwich-ltd-premises-licence-1.pdf

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Sue · Posted

      I don't know whose idea in the Lib Dems it was to put round a flyer saying that James' radical Marxist (in red caps) views are "at odds with East Dulwich and Goose Green residents", plus a load of ridiculous alarmist b******s. They may like to know that putting this round has had the opposite effect on me to that presumably intended. In local elections I usually vote for individuals who I think will do a good job  rather than  voting for particular parties, but as far as I am concerned the Lib Dems have shot themselves in the foot with the contents of this flyer, because I shan't be voting for any of them.

      And still is, and hopefully will continue to be with changed ownership, should that happen.

      Victorian gas outlet??? Any advice?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Absolutely do not follow the advice to turn on and check the outlet yourself, but the previous part of the post above about contacting the gas authorities. Amongst other things it us illegal for those not trained and certified to interfere with gas supplies. Which you can only check (if it should be live) by breaking the law!
