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

    • But a larger number, in a more hotly contested election, didn't. It is an anomaly that Starmer won a landslide in seats with a turnout for Labour which would have shamed Labour leaders in all the 21st and much of the post war 20th century.
    • I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!
    • that's exactly what happened - Brickhouse were forced to close due to rent hike and then Gail's didn't move in until covid restrictions lifted and normality resumed. Gail's would have opened much sooner as they were lined up and able to offer the landlord much higher rents. Brickhouse was a local favourite
    • The Brickhouse closed just before Covid December 2019. Nothing to do with Gails muscling in as they didn't move into till December 2022. Stop trying to fit a false narrative into a story
