Had a laugh out loud at "Millwall Brick". Is it cockney rhyming slang? I've never heard of it before...

Make the wrong call and you're open to both criminal prosecution and action for damages. Do you want to gamble on, say, whether your assessment of 'reasonable suspicion' is accurate and provable, in such a piddling case? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_arrest

'A piddling case'!! I wonder what her annual income is? I bet it's more than i earn!!! She hasn't just hit one person, it's a career to her - so i'd hardly say it was 'piddling'. You also missed the point of my previous post, but i won't bother explaining it as you appear to have no sense of humour.

i'd certainly agree that it's piddling - especially as it seems she generally doesn't get away with it


to me it's effectively just begging (with a sob story, but nothing new there). (obviously i appreciate that her style of begging involves calling on people at home)


dialling 999, chasing her, citizen's arrest - all a waste of time and an overreaction in my eyes

pk, I agree that dialling 999 should be purely for emergencies. Being conned out of a fiver is not an emergency. There's been quite a lot of recent publicity about people wasting the time of the emergency services by dialling 999 for trivial reasons, I'm surprised it's being suggested here.

Just had a visit from the police to take details of the con woman. They advise that if she knocks on your door you should dial 999. They are actively looking for her. She is currently targeting Glengarry, Trossachs, Tarbert Roads apparently.

"Pillwall Brick"??..Thats West Ham Fans derogatory named for Millwall's brand of Football that is so boring, they reckon, that you have to have Pills to endure it..zzzz....and "Brick" in this context is an old-fashioned term for a real trooper, as in, "he/she's areal brick"...someone to rely or depend on....

They can't be looking very hard, ROFLMAO. She's reportedly already been arrested and prosecuted in the past, she is 'known' to police, she is very very active and yet the police can't find her! LMAO!

Maybe they lost her address.

Maybe the po-po are in on the act with her and she pays them a cut of her profits!

Had her ring my bell late on Saturday night (live on East Dulwich Grove). Same story; stopped her halfway through and told her I heard about her on the East Dulwich Forum? she was a bit stunned and asked what that the EDF was and once I told her she was on her way?.
well done matti, I started the previous thread after she conned us. Even if the police have not caught up with her yet the forum has let loads of east dulwich folk know - perhaps she might post her own message on the forum!! 'con woman replies'....only problem is will we believe her?

She came to my house on Landcroft road couple of weeks ago (i am literally next to the police station!) . Same sob story. She is a VERY good actress. Can't believe i fell for it. But it was snowing and ?5 for a "neighbour in need" didnt seem like too much to ask. will be the last time i ever help anybody!!

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
