No 36 has had a water leak for at least 2 weeks and the landlord has only just bothered to call his repairman.


I went t*ts over arse this morning and fell really bad due to ice that had formed which #i failed to see, thanks to the lovely young lady who stopped and asked if I was OK and only moved on when she saw I was walking again, I must have looked like I was in shock. As I walked further up, I heard two other people slip and fall too. Will look and see if I can find a road cone to put outside the property as there's still water leaking.

You're most welcome, more pride hurt than anything, luckily, thank's for the kind words :)


I did find a traffic cone to give some sort of warning and put it in the dangerous area late last night, but the nearby builders may well have reclaimed it by now.

There is a yellow salt / grit bin on the corner of Crawthew / Frogmore which members of the public are free to use when it is icy.


If a reader has a chance it might very helpful to take a handful of the grit and dump it on the relevant section of pavement.

Would the landlord be liable to pay damages if he knew the leak was there and that icy weather was coming? A vendor on CPR has been informed that his/hew property is leaking water all over the pavement, I was told when I rang the stage agent. It is running so may not freeze unless it gets very cold indeed but there is always the chance. Be careful out there! (It's a property near the junction with Goodrich, oppo the newsagent.)

I don't often look at this forum, so a bit late with this.


I sa the leak too, and knocked on the door of the flat to let them know.


The tenant said that the owner was aware, and 'was going to do something about it..'


I told the tenant that when similar happened to me, the cellar started to flood quite quickly.

Tenant: It's Okay, we don't have a cellar.

Me: what's this coal scuttle in the front step then?

Tenant:........


Got out my handy torch & shone it down the coal scuttle plate...


One Cellar, half full of water (a lot of the conversions just wall off the (dirty, nasty) cellar, not realising how much storage is down there)


I mentioned electrics/rot/subsiding floor supports.


Strangely, t'was fixed the next morning :-)))

    • Not they've gone. Everything has been ripped out. No sign of anyone new yet. 
    • The frequency of fireworks seems to be increasing. If revellers selected the low noise variety that would help, but the trend seems to be the louder the better. I do not think sensitivity to stimuli is the same as timidity. Unexpected, extremely loud bangs and unusual noises will startle most of us. Humans, unlike other animals, have the luxury of knowing what fireworks are and what the noise represents. Some animals do learn to cope but many do not. It could be their hearing is not as sensitive. We should not forget that many animals, including cats and dogs have hearing that is much more developed than ours.
