Hello


So upset and angry to say we were burgled yesterday - 18th March 2014.

Numerous electronics, their cables and other items stolen. It's a truly horrible feeling so I'm hoping that posting here will help people be even more vigilant.


Of course all windows & doors in our flat were locked, but the sash window was forced.


PLEASE

- never ever leave your premises with even a window ajar

- have restrictive locks and screws fitted to sashes so they can't be fully opened

- hide any high value items away. People are looking through windows

- always look out for neighbours and question any unusual activity. Someone was in our garden, on a main road, forcing a big window open with tools in broad daylight

- If burglar alarm goes off, yes it's annoying, but please check it out


A few months ago we had an Eastern European male repeatedly ring our doorbell during the day who liked startled when we answered and gave a very rehearsed excuse. So don't think "it'll never happen to little old me" - it does!

I'm so sorry to hear this whiterose , I was burgled a couple of years ago and it is truly awful . I'm on belvoir road and I've noticed how many people are around due to the new road surfaces being put down . Loads of strangers easy I would think to blend in ! I don't know what part of Underhill road you are but we've just started a new neighbourhood watch and were informed of a burglary yesterday at this end of Underhill/ belvoir . Just wondering if it was the same one ?

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
