Dear Neighbours


I wanted to introduce myself and offer my services for the summer, my name is Dee and I am currently housesitting in Forest Hill for a family who have been travelling abroad. I am a community teacher and will shortly be on my summer break, so have some hours to kill over the summer. My understanding is that there have been numerous burglaries in the area which are on the increase as burglars are targeting empty homes whilst people are away. Burglars are using more sophisticated systems such as drone technology and bypassing security systems to break into homes, and even when alarms do go off, by the time security or police arrive, they are in and out of your home. I know how devastating it can be if your home is broken into and your possessions destroyed and taken. I would be happy to help by staying over or to come in at random times to water plants, feed cats, put the bins back after bin day collections as this is a big tell-tell sign that you are not home etc. I?d also be happy to look after your dog at home for those that don?t want to kennel their dogs whilst they are away. Please PM if interested

Wow! Thank you for your response. You are of course entitled to your opinion. The family I am currently sitting for are grateful to have someone looking after their home while they are away and some people may appreciate a neighbour popping in a couple of times a week to make sure everything is okay.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
