Yesterday evening around 6:45 a young man in a suit with a SkyTV lanyard round his neck knocked on my door and said he was doing a survey for the council to check and make sure that everyone was hooked up with digital access etc etc, he mentioned he'd been by a couple times earlier in the day but no one was home which i thought was a bit fishy but mostly stuck to the questions on his sheet and then tried sort of half heartedly to sell me Sky Broadband. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar visits as i am now feeling paranoid and certain that my house has been cased by a mastermind criminal who used the council as his cover (that lanyard does lend an air of respectability after all, Sky wouldn't hire anyone shady!) Help reassure me so i'm not spazzing out all day while I imagine my poor house in a burgled state all day from work.

hope that's not meant seriously, i'm not trying to fear monger or anything here, just concerned and probably letting my imagination get ahead of me. there was a twarted theft burglary attemp on my road (near the Ivy House in Nunhead) just the other week and i'm a bit paranoid at the moment as a result


besides, all those bad kids will be down by the posh houses near goose green what would they want with nunhead?

I'd a Sky guy round our house in Nunhead yesterday afternoon too - young guy in a suit. He didn't say anything about a council survey but then I didn't really give him much time to say anything - I saw the Sky badge and straight away said I wasn't interested.


So I suspect your guy was just a standard salesman too - albeit using some dodgy lines!

Sean, all was well when I returned home, paranoia was unfounded (although am still convinced rupert murdoch is out to get me). actually owning the home makes me for more nervous than renting ever did.


nunheadmum, that was what i meant to do but somehow i let myself get suckered into talking to him

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
