Some time today, someone threw a stone at our front window and shattered it (I found pieces of the stone).

Luckily the shards haven't fallen out yet, but it's a security risk even so. Will have to pay a lot of money to get it replaced tomorrow - it's a big pane of glass :-(


Just wondering if this is a one-off, or if there's been a spate of it in the area...

We live near Piermont Road.

Charming.

Not heard any others.

Ours was done few years ago got crime reference number to claim get glass boarded as emergency then replaced.

Was teenagers trying get neighbours above attention not familiar with doorbell.

To fast get description of them.

Was in our case accident was meant get someone attention not actually chip glass which then cracked right threw.

I was once warned (by a glazier) that burglars broke windows so that when they were replaced they could return and remove the pane simply whilst the putty was still malleable.


I don't know whether that was true and still is, but you might want to be cautious if the broken window could give access to your house without glass in it.


Equally it might have been broken by a stone flying up from a wheel accidently, if it is close to a road where traffic might pass at a little speed.

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
