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?.

      roof repairs and guarantees

      By Dulwichlass · Posted

      Hey, I am on the first floor and I am directly impacted if roof leaks. We got a roofing company to do repair work which was supposed to be guaranteed. However, when it started leaking again, we were informed that the guarantee is just for a new roof and not repair work. Each time the company that did the repair work came out again over the next few years, we had to pay additional amounts. The roof continues to leak, so I have just organised another company to fix the roof instead, as the guarantee doesn't mean anything.

      Casino game hire

      By alexpross · Posted

      I've been thinking about hosting a fun casino night and came across some interesting ideas. If anyone is looking for casino game hire, I found a great resource at mrpunter that seems to offer a variety of options. Renting a table or a complete set could really elevate the party atmosphere, and it sounds like a good way to add some excitement to gatherings. Plus, it’s nice to support local businesses while having a blast with friends! If anyone has more tips or experiences with this, I'd love to hear about them!

      Recommended roofer (Danny)

      By markdanielallen · Posted

      Danny re-tiled and generally cleaned up the roof tiles on our front bay in SE22 a few weeks ago. He was fairly priced, and although the scope of the work changed slightly (something we couldn't have foreseen before removing the existing tiles), the price remained the same for the job. He and a colleague worked hard for three days (one more than initially planned) through pretty grim weather. With anything unexpected, he came to me with solutions rather than problems. They were polite, courteous, and left the site as tidy as they could after cutting roof tiles in the driving rain!
