Well it's no wonder they're confused, they say 'caretaker', you say 'concierge'. It can lead to all sorts of misunderstandings.

I wouldn't be surprised if they hadn't started fomenting the recent unrest about that Totale company bringing in foreign workers and all that malarkey.

I'm not holding you directly responsible, of course. Not directly. Not completely.

But in future, think before you Frenchify, it can lead to faux pas.

PGC - you describe my neighbour! i had to threaten them with a 5000? fine from the council in the end.


He is beyond any doubt the most selfish person i have EVER come across. If / when he moves back in im sure it will be a suitably horrible place to live for him...

grrr (yes i tried to reason with the idiot but couldnt find a brain cell after 3 separate attempts of having the door slammed in my face..)

    • Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering.  The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on.  Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft, both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile.   Met Engage? I don't think so.
    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/violent-crime-plunges-london-homicide-rate-b1247078.html Worth doing a little checking before making assumptions about violent crimes. Recent data suggests a drop in violent crime. Gang violence will make a significant contribution to the numbers. You are unlikely to be attacked by a stranger   
    • Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.
    • It’s getting a bit annoying. We’ve a nervous dog who trembles when they go off. I know to expect it around Halloween and Diwali but it seems to be happening more through the year.
