We?ve just had 2 reasonably well dressed ladies knock our door and ask if we know anyone who speaks Portuguese! When told no they disappeared pretty quickly. We are on Ulverscroft rd. Anyone had anything similar today? Seems really odd!

Yes I had this yesterday on Ulverscroft Road.


Very strange question. It wasn't clear if they were looking for a specific Portuguese person or Portuguese speakers in general.


I suggested they post on here rather than go house to house!


It didn't really occur to me until now that they might have some ulterior motive.


I thought the second person was a child, but I only caught a glimpse of them from the back,so it could have been a quite small adult.

    • Aria is my go-to plumber these days, he bends over backwards to sort things out even at short notice and really cares about doing a great job, large or small. 
    • Not everywhere is like that, my road is very friendly and nice. Everyone knows each other. Suggest starting a WhatsApp group for your street and beginning to chat.     
    • Do you have a landline phone you want to get rid of ? ( In working order). If so I am interested. Style and colour not important. Thanks
    • Without doubt.. just seem to expect others or council to deal with it…no, don’t think it is that …just the fact that people these days are working hard, tired, stressed.. what were houses are now converted into flats…there is community spirit, well hope so.. neighbours hardly see one another, let alone know each other as work schedule is no longer 7/9 …only older more established people who have lived in area, and not making a quick buck, understand… people don’t even have the time to talk to neighbours unless annoyed or complaining.. when was the last time one smiled and said hello..or even started a conversation in a queue?
