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...

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s
