A friend informed me today that whilst she was at Church a couple of weeks ago, her handbag, phone and car keys

were stolen She was sitting on a chair with bag across back of chair and her coat fully coveringthe chair back and

bag. A man and woman came in who she had not seen before so she was a little suspicious, they talked to a couple of other people who were in the church at the time about purchasing a religious book, but left. A few minutes later she noticed the bag had gone. Police called who assisted her in phoning her bank etc as she was quite flustered as her reading glasses had been stolen as well. Phoned her husband from the church to advise him. Within a few minutes he rang back and advised that a cheque had been presented at a branch about 15 mins drive away which aroused suspicion of the bank clerk who rang her home. Talking to other people she found that there had been thefts from St. Thomas More Church during the services - people leaving their bags to take communinion and finding them gone on their return.


So if you are a church goer or attend groups etc in a church - beware not everyone attending is 'god fearing'

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
