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...?

    • The BBC is one of the finest, if not the finest, broadcasters in the world.  They have been admired by many across the world for their journalism.  There have been numerous arrests since their recent expose on convenience shops that cover ups for criminals - money laundering, contraband,  illegal workers and the like. By no means perfect and some of what they have done in the modern world is questionable - the website often comes across as tabloid or sensationalist, as do some of their documentaries, and at times it is full of low grade game shows, fly on the wall etc which bring the punters and money, including overseas, in but is not quality TV.  In their desperation for 'balance' they've given too much air time and credibility to some more extreme views, which contributed to Brexit and some of the rise in right wing parties.  I wish they'd say 'the convicted criminal' every time they talk about Yaxley Lenon. The programme was clumsy, why it didn't go through proper clearance including the lawyers, I don't know.  But it created zero stir at the time. Zero.  And had no impact on the election, so Trump has no case.  I hope they don't cave in like many of the US corporations and media.  Oh and well done to South Park using the small p*nis defence in ridiculing him. What I expect is as the Beeb is pretty centrist in it;s reporting in riles some of those who thrive on the toxic populism we have seen since Trump mark 1 and Brexit.  How sad.
