Two men just came to my front door and offered to clear some things from my front garden there from a recent clear-out. I agreed for a ?5 charge, but when i said i had no change of a twenty one of the men practically grabbed it out of my hand and said he would change it at the shops. I protested and said no but couldn't go myself as my kids were at home.


In the split second moment i had to make the decision i thought, I must trust them, its a sad world if I say no...they are just trying to make a living...he said his mate would stay with me while he went, but he dashed off as soon as the garden was cleared.


Anyway - they never came back, my rubbish is littered down the nearby roads and most is in a skip on Forest Hill Road by the shops. So a double scam...


Posting partly to vent as I am so angry and partly to warn others.


I have told the police so they are aware...

    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around. 
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
    • The toilets at this spot in the park have been vandalised to such an extent that they are now closed.
    • Hello! I'm looking for 2-3 baby gates I can borrow from 17th August - 6th September for a visitor.  Does anyone have any I could use? Thank you!
