I know I read a thread about strangers bell ringing/knocking on doors but I cannot find it. Please direct me if you can.


We have had a few early AM bell dining (2am) in the last three weeks but never answered the door. Last night some one knocked on the door (persistently)at 230am. We did not open the door or look out the window to see who it might be, honestly guessing people drinking at the wrong door. Hopefully it was not someone in sure need of assistance.


We live by Goodrich school in case someone else experienced the same.


I don't feel like this is a big deal but wanted to mention if other experience the same. I would not second guess it but it seems like an uneasy thing others have experienced so I thought I would share.

I imagine they're planning to break in or steal keys through the letter box and are knocking as it would look odd them being there otherwise. You should probably call the police and make sure your keys are well away from the letterbox. I imagine the door chime may go off without someone ther if there was an electrical problem, but I'd find knocking a bit worrying.

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
