I just wondered if anyone knew what the score was with the alarm that keep myself & Mr P awake all last night? I think it is somewhere on North Cross Road. Started about 11.30pm last night, I was going to go out & investigate this morning, but it seems to have finally stopped...Just wondered if it might have anything to do with the young men who broke a window in the Thai Corner Cafe the other week?

Funny, I was walking up Northcross Road at about 10:15pm and there was an alarm going off at the chemist. I wouldn't have liked to live nearby, it was quite deafening. Does nobody report these things to the police, what happens, does anyone care. I did nothing, call me a hypocrite!

I once called the Police because my neighbour's house alarm was going off and they were on holiday. The response from the Police was 'have you actually seen anyone breaking in?' As I hadn't, and didn't fancy investigating myself in the darkness of night, they told me that if it hadn't stopped after an hour call the environmental people at the Council.

Rubbish.

I was less bothered by the noise and more worried for my neighbours that their house was being robbed. It seems that unless you actually witness first hand a break-in, the police aren't bothered. I appreciate there are more serious crimes to attend to, but being robbed is pretty serious too don't you think?

Alarms are temperamental and I know mine has been off a few times. My first reaction is never ?OMG there?s an undesirable in my house? but always ?OMG what about next door?. But my next door neighbour is a honey and never complains!


Alarms just deter a burglar into going to a house without an alarm because, let?s face it, we all want an easy life.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
