Probably nothing but just in case and due to all posts regarding burglaries and attempted van theft I thought I would mention it. As I was getting into my car this morning it looked like a guy was casing out all houses on piermont road. He then got into a white van and sat there for a while. As I said it is probably nothing but be on your guard.


I have reported description of character and registration of van to police.


Local resident.

Had a guy with a white van knock on my door last week saying my gutters were FULL and really, really needed cleaning out, just ?25, they would cause damage if they weren't cleaned out, just 25 quid, and if only I took up his offer it would only be ?25... Still continued when I said that I had had the roof and gutters fixed a couple of weeks before...

How he can see how full my gutters were without going up there is beyond me. He must be a very clever man. Or a scam.


So maybe he was checking out all the gutters on Piermont Road...?

    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
