Man with bag knocked on door

[max wellhouse]

Yesterday morning, a white, balding man, slighly overweight, and carrying a large bag, knocked persistently on our front door. Fortunately I had taken the day off work, so was at home. When I answered the door, he insisted he had a 'parcel' for me. Of course, I slammed the door in his face and dialled 101 to report the matter to the police. The guy was quite persistent. Before he left, he pushed a small card through our letterbox. The spidery scrawl of his handwriting was quite hard to read, but he seemed to be inviting me to a 'sorting office' to collect a 'parcel'!!!

Obviously this incident has left me quite distressed, and I'm glad my wife and children weren't home at the time. I've seen other people dressed in similar (blue) clothing, but always in the afternoons, never in the morning.

I live on Barry Road, but would advise people to keep an eye out in case this guy is still operating in the East Dulwich area.

I'd say it was a postman except for the persistent knocking. They don't usually bother knocking at all. Thanks for the warning Max. I'm on red alert.

I noticed some men going through my bins this morning, They then removed the green ones, emptied them into a large vehicle (didn't catch the reg, sorry), put them back on my front path and drove away at low speed.

I didn't alert the authorities but have posted here to warn you all to be on the lookout.

Yeah... because it's really funny to mock people for being vigilant... well done you, you really are ever so clever.

This is golden! I think Max may be pulling the paranoid ED forum leg!

Only if you invoke the word 'shower' as well.

Inspired post. Some of you lot really do live in fear and love to dial 101 at the drop of a hat.

Thanks for warning everyone - I'll keep a eye out and 101 is now on my speed dial.

Lol, I find the hysteria on here incredible sometimes, so I admit, this thread made me chuckle, especially Jeremy's comment.

I think you're missing something LadyD. Where's the hysteria?
