A friend?? On Underhill Road??


Please tell us you were taking a food parcel and some old clothes to the mother of your gardener.

Cannabis farms don't get heated at night. The light/dark timing to fool the plants into a state where they produce flowers constantly is not related to the 24 hour clock. So at any time of the day they can be on or off. And if the police decided to use helicopters to search for cannabis farms using heat detection they would have a challenge on their hands. If you hover over London looking at houses that produce heat out of their lofts you will see thousands of houses. The idea that the police could (or even should) get a warrant to break down the front door of a house just because it has a warm roof is just ridiculous. And what about the problem of cannabis farms that happen to be in the basement? The police would have to rethink their whole strategy.

Most farms are run by teh Viets nowadays and they work on a 5:1 basis a, budgeting for one bust for every 5 operations - they lose a grands or twos worth of HP equipment and some illegal imigrant lackey gets arrested/ jailed / deported , but it a very lucrative business and very hard to stop


Oddly, most of the busts are on information received from other "farmers", looking to trim their competitors harvest - its not often the Polis helicopter detects them.

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
