A friend of mine in Herne Hill recently lost her home of 32 years to a dreadful house fire. All her irreplaceable possessions were lost along with 70% of the house. Seems it was her TV on standby that had overheated and caught fire. So just reminding everyone to not leave them on standby. I had a very professional guy round the other day putting in hard wired interlinked alarms very reasonable ?85 per alarm. For anyone else interested his number is 07943 548 586 done the whole house in half a day. Remember to test them once a week.

In fact London Fire Brigade will do a full "Home Fire Safety Check" as part of installing smoke alarms, all free and done by experienced professionals. Contact your local fire station. Don't pay anybody when you can get it done for free effectively from council taxes you have already paid !!!

Hard wired alarms cost about ?25 each, so ?60 to install each one is a bit steep (if he did the whole house in half a day he's raking it in).... Never heard anything about a recent house fire in HH...

    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
    • MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.
    • The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
