Bike Thieves or 'City Scrap Metal'?

About ? hour ago, a truck sporting the words ?City Scrap Metal? pulled up our road. A guy walked out and calmly attempted to load a brand-new bike belonging to one of the kids playing outside onto his truck. Fortunately, my neighbour spotted him and run across demanding to know what on earth he was up to. The kids were engaged in a water fight ? a second later that bike would have vanished and we would never have known how. What a great cover: the guy claimed that he was just doing his job. When we asked him how a brand-new bike could possibly qualify as ?scrap metal?, his accent became very foreign and he was having trouble understanding us. I wish I had been cleverer (or less shocked) and noted down his car registration number. Be warned ? he may be down your road as we speak ?doing his job?.

      Piotr and his team just completed our ensuite and we couldn’t be happier. They were a lovely team to have around and took great care with protection and clean-up every day. Communication was great and there were no nasty surprises with the final invoice despite some surprises along the way. The standard of work is incredible. We still can’t believe this room is in our house!

      What has that got to do with their being potentially terrified when loud fireworks are set off? To the best of my knowledge nobody is suggesting the firework noise is actually killing the animals.

      I run a small tutoring service for children who need extra support in their entrance exams as well as overall academic support for areas that need a little shoring up.   I'm a mother whose son benefitted from coaching to get 3 offers from leading schools.  I personally offer Creative Writing as a specialty and in each exam my son scored top marks for his creative.  If you would like to discuss options, do reach out.  We offer online classes in Maths, English, Creative, Science and Spanish to GCSE.  Many thanks, Kate
