Hello admin,


Is it possible for crime to have it's own section?


I know it isn't the first time you've been asked to consider this, and I know you have your reasons for doing things the way they are done, but the main section has been depressing reading for a long time.


Please consider.


Thank you.

The Incident Room, I like it.


I suppose we can try it out, perhaps you could help me get head in the right frame of mind...


Incident Room or not?

- door to door window sales man /woman selling book door to door

- Local police (lack of)

- Accident on Lordship Lane this morning

- unexpected evening callers

- Traffic problems on Goose Green

- Bins,rubbish & Smells on Forest Hill Road



I have to say, having looked around the first two pages there is a lot of petty/non-petty crime going on.

There was a time when the main section was full of lost cats. Remember?


Nobody would mind an incident being on the main page if it was an emergency, but then it could be relegated. I mean, who needs to be looking at "bad traffic on LL this morning" for a week. Lifetime ban isn't good enough; find out where they live and give them a house call.

    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • 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/
