If I was in an incident requiring emergency services to attend, I would be furious if I found out people who knew why were blabbing to total strangers on the internet who wanted to find out details of my misfortune.


I dont think its any of your business until someone involved chooses to tell you.

Why?


Presumably you'd like to share similarly personal information with us here? How about telling us your deep medical history so we can all know?

are Angharad and OP same person?


police accompanying an ambulance is not unusual.


don't worry - if it was a murder you would have seen the yellow 'do not enter' barriers. Ergo, it's not relevant to you.


maybe for another time, in the spirit of community and all that, you might venture out and get to know who your neighbours are and then be genuinely concerned for their wellbeing, rather than being concerned you've missed something exciting.

On the contrary, I think it is bang on the money.

Jimlad48,


Recently you posted regarding an incident involving a cyclist whereby a father was actively encouraging his children to jump a red light. You didn't like some of the comments you received as a result and your response was that people were turning your post in to something it wasn't. You stated you were genuinely concerned about the children.


Well i, like you, was also genuinely concerned.


You also asked some of those who commented on your post in a negative way why they read it in the first place just to make sarcastic, patronising comments.


Well, i like you, feel the same.


If you think I wanted something exciting to happen, you are wrong. And that says more about your mind than mine.


It just might be worth you remembering what you have posted yourself previously, just to appear less hypocritical in future.

There is an entire world of difference between observing very public (and exceptionally dangerous) behaviour visible to anyone present at the time, and asking for information on a private medical incident, inside a private residence where the person privately received treatment in the privacy of their own home.


One ocurred in public, one ocurred in private.


If something occurs in public view, then it isnt unreasonable to comment on, or ask about it. Such activity is the lifeblood of this forum with people wanting to know about certain activity.


By contrast, asking very publically for a medical update on a private citizen, who is being treated in private in the privacy of their own home, knowing the answer would be visible to anyone in the world with internet access. Well thats a different game.


How would you feel if a close relative of yours had a nasty accident necessitating ambulance intervention, and then discovered local residents who didnt know your relative, never spoken to them or seemingly? made any effort to get to know them or be neighbourly were suddenly asking for public updates on their private health condition? If it was my relative, I would be livid.


If you really care, then instead of being a nosey neighbour content to speculate anonymously, go? and knock on their door, introduce yourself and say 'I hope you are okay, can I do anything to help'?


Given you have seemingly never done this before, what would knowing about someones private medical situation acheive for you beyond a bit of gossip and a vague sense that you somehow care by not doing anything to actively make the situation better.


Bottom line in my book is simple - if you do something in public, where others can see you or be imlpacted by your actions, then it is appropriate to pass comment. What happens indoors is private until such point as the individual chooses to share it, and should not be discussed by others.


The cycling post by the way turned into a 'cyclists vs the world debate' which is slightly different to its purpose of highlighting a very specific case of very public activity that threatened child safety.

Jimlad, I think you're making rather broad assumptions there - how do you know it was "a private medical incident, inside a private residence where the person privately received treatment in the privacy of their own home"? There's nothing in the post to imply that; one would think that rather unlikely in fact, the police don't send generally two cars to accompany ambulances attending just for treatment. Surely most likely someone was injured in either an accident on the road or a crime, in either of which cases it's quite understandable for a resident of the street to enquire as to what happened. I understand all the points about curtain twitching and neighbourliness etc, but to go from Bea's fairly innocent enquiry regarding an ambulance and police cars in her street to accusing her of "asking very publically for a medical update on a private citizen, who is being treated in private in the privacy of their own home" isn't really justifiable or fair.
Jimlad48, it is sometimes better to know when to leave things and move on, rather than try to push your opinions on to people as if they were facts... a much more dignified look in a person, I always thought. Otherwise, it could be observed that arguing on this forum is the only happiness you have in your life and what a unfortunate little life that would be... in my opinion of course. I wish you a wonderful Monday! Bea

Actually I love forums like this. I enjoy using them to practise structring arguments and debates and trying out views I may or may not hold. Thats the wonder of the net - its a way to test whether you agree with.the arguments you espouse.

    • 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.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
