I was showing a visiter my patio'd back garden yesterday evening and noticed some fresh clumps of grass lying on some patio slabs. An unknown neighbour had decided to toss some of their garden over the wall into mine.. tut tut. By the size of the clumps it was almost certainly by little kids.


Anyway, few hours later I was watching the football when two letters arrived through the letter box. I opened them up and there was a card in each, addressed as 'Dear Sir' neatly hand written by young children apologising as the culprits and promising not to do it again.


What a nice gesture and taking responsibility at such a young age.

I don't know for certain which garden it came from, or the number of the house as it's a street that back's onto mine, and neither do I know all the neighbours on that side, so the answer is no.

Well I've got a wonky doorbell that doesn't always work so..

    • Is it possible for someone to change the heading, because it is not clear that this "fatality" has not just happened. I'm not sure that the OP still posts on here. Admin?
    • A couple of updates to this terrible event:   1) In 2021, two cousins (one from Penge and one from Streatham) were convicted of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 23 years in prison. The Southwark News has a summary of the awful day. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/donnell-rhule-dulwich-knife-murderer-cousins-sentenced-to-life-for-killing-18-year-old/    2) Last week, a female prison officer from Forest Hill was sentenced to eight months in prison for pursuing a relationship with one of the two murderers while at HMP Brixton. https://metro.co.uk/2025/12/15/probation-officer-admits-relationship-prisoner-hmp-belmarsh-25501445/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/38203627/probation-officer-jailed-illicit-relationship-murderer-secure-prison/
    • The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.
    • She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck
