...on Saturday morning at the bottom of Eynella Road by Dulwich Park. One rocket passed me and my 3 year old by approx 8 yards. Several hit houses on the street. Three kids about 10 or 12 years old who looked like they had just finished sports training nearby. Stuff like this I wont miss when I leave the London grime.

Where did I say it was unique to London? Any big city more likely. Perhaps it's getting older and having a family. But I'm up for trading off the vibrant, diverse choice London offers for somewhere less urban shit and quite possibly a tad boring.

You mentioned London grime so the association is there

This has to be the most non-thread I've seen in ages. Kids throwing fireworks around the 5th of November. It happens everywhere this time of year. If not more so in provincial town England.


The middle classes are scared of their own shadow.


Louisa.

Eynella Road sounds horrific, I don't know how people sleep at night in such a rough poverty ridden street. All those fireworks being thrown around. I can see why so many people are now moving out to beautiful market towns like Lewes, oh wait a minute...


Louisa.

Chucking firecrackers is one thing, and I certainly remember teenagers setting off rockets from milk bottles at night, but surely the OP deserves a bit of sympathy? Kids may been doing that kind of thing for the last fifty years but every year people are injured or killed as a result.

Loving your work all - above.


This was three kids firing full sized rockets on sticks using a plastic tube at a height of about 5 feet off the ground. A few yards ahead of my 3 year old kid. Yeah it happens somewhere every year at this time. Doesn't mean its ok. Or that it couldn't scar or injure someone for life. If you all think its ok /normal /acceptable /a non thread then well....

kids letting off fireworks at people is ok because

- they do it everywhere, not just in London

- they used to do it when i was a kid

- they're doing it in Eynella road so it's only affecting the posh-os


so nothing to worry about. have i understood right?


actually, the stats show that fireworks hurt nearly 5000 people in england badly enough for them to have to go to A&E in 2014/15

Not really. The OP wrongly thinks they won't encounter this particular behavior outside of London...

true, thanks RD - but something to worry about wherever, right?

Absolutely, I'm sure there are tragic incidents every year associated with fireworks/bonfires etc, and children need to be taught of the dangers.

Had the OP not written that last sentence then I think there would've been more sympathetic comments, but once someone starts 'dissing' where they live you're bound to get other local people who will object to that...

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
