Just had some guy ringing my doorbell as if there were a fire.


Briefly flashed a plastic card hung around his neck. Said he was on a young offenders works scheme.


Opened up a holdall which looked brand new.

Had lots of cleaning stuff and the like. Offered me an extendable feather duster. and some cleaning clothes.


I said sorry mate and that I did not need anything of the sort.

He then got very aggressive and said 'so you dont want to help me '

I said 'Sorry mate I'm a pensioner. '


He said 'At least you have a Pension'


I said ' Well sorry but I worked for 40 years for that'


He stormed off swearing but did not catch what he said.


He run up the road (Ulverscroft) towards Whateley and did not knock at anymore doors.


he was wearing Red Top

No, not the same person.


This guy was a young person, quite presentable.

He flashed an I.D. card he was wearing but I did not look at it.


He was very enthusiastic offering various items from a very new well packed holdall.


He said he was working on a Youth ex-offenders scheme. It is possible that this is a genuine scheme

and that the 'Packs' are prepared by the scheme.


Like all these door to door sellers the stuff they are selling is Tat and available in any Pound Store.


I do not think that this chap posses any threat as a potential Burglar.

He did not appear to attempt look into my premises.

He might not be looking into your property but he might be finding out if you're out/away.

I asked the probation service about these door-to-door salesmen and got this reply:


'As a result of the Government's recent probation reforms, 21 Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) were established in order to deliver rehabilitation services in England and Wales to low and medium risk offenders.

The CRCs are not involved in such door-to-door selling schemes and we do not condone such activity. We firmly believe that offenders should be integrated back into the community in a more positive manner than this. These schemes are run by private companies, not the CRCs.'


This doesn't mean the people selling are not bona fide, but they are not part of any government scheme.

      EMERGENCY PROTEST: join us today (Tuesday 29th July) outside Downing Street, 1pm [PSC]

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Yes I do have a vague idea of what's going on in the world, thanks Sephiroth, for explaining it all out to me though. The point I was trying to make, rather badly, because I'm busy and shouldn't be on here, is that I'm sure Jazzer didn't used to be this extreme. Either he's moved into wind-up territory, which people do do on here to keep themselves entertained, or he's just moving further along a spectrum as he gets older, which many people also do.

      Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

      By taliax7 · Posted

      Thank you for responding. I’m Carl Salawa’s little sister. I was nearly 8 when the incident happened. It’s still a very painful and sensitive topic in my family, so I never really asked too many questions growing up, but what I do know is this: Carl had just turned 18 and was on his way home that evening after spending time with his girlfriend and a small group of friends. The police claimed he jumped to his death, but his friends and some residents said he was being chased by police around the estate and that he fell. The toxicology report showed he had no alcohol or drugs in his system. Carl was well loved, an army cadet, and had just enlisted in the Army or Air Force. He had recently gotten engaged to his long-term girlfriend. He truly had everything to live for. Thank you again for remembering and for speaking about it. It really means a lot, especially with so little available publicly.

      Recommendation for Critter Solutions Pest Control

      By PGB · Posted

      Another recommendation for Roger. He came round promptly to inspect my loft as I was worried I had mice in there. He checked it thoroughly and found no evidence of pests, and refused to take any payment for the trouble of coming out! Thank you Roger!

      you may not have met them - but you've seen them on the streets protesting outside hostels. You've seen them in the 30% support for Reform. You may not have met them, but they sure do exist
