evening all


i was just wondering if anyone else in the tintagel crescent area is concerned/bothered by all the junk that ends up scattered around the lordship lane end of tintagel crescent?


i am sure some of the stuff left outside the charity shop ends up being picked up by people who think they like the look of it, only to decide a few metres down the road they don't and dump it. some of the mess is also no doubt post-pub detritus, especially at weekends.


but what is harder to explain is the copious amounts of general, mixed and weird rubbish that appears and is left either by the garage at the end of the road or round the end of the alley behind the indian restaurant. it often looks like it has been deliberately left/stashed on private property (i saw two 1980s portable TVs in dumped in a front garden a while ago...) or just dumped on the street.


sometimes it looks like bags of clothes/really random odds and ends destined for the charity shop - in which case i can't understand how they ended up where they are (surely people coming to drop stuff off wouldn't leave it 20m away from the shop, and surely someone picking it up from outside the shop then deciding they didn't want it wouldn't leave it neatly by the garage or the fence by the indian 20m away??). other times it's just rubbish. this weekend there was a sainsbury's bag with, amongst other things, a broken egg shell and a pair of knickers....failed attempt at a niche omelette recipe? this stuff inevitably gets strewn all over the road.


maybe people from the nursing accommodation - but they have their own bins? maybe bin men who don't want to take certain stuff?


i know there are options about getting flytipping reported and investigated which i will look into (i know this won't apply to items on private property), i was just wondering if anyone had seen anything or had any thoughts about who might be doing this? as you can see from the rant, it's starting to get on my nerves (apologies) and i would really like to catch them doing it!


thanks for your time.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
