Hi all


LOL what a reactionary and provocative item!


I have to say that I have SOME sympathy with his thoughts regarding the actual buggies. (Not the mothers or fathers).


Walking along the east dulwich pavements and meeting a 4x4, rib tyred, super sprung, all terrain, heavy duty, commando buggy (with one, or two, perplexed looking tiny tots buried deep in their thick defensive walls) coming in the opposite direction, is an intimidating experience. Total protective "overkill".


I have a suspicion that owners of such prams either already own a 4x4 Chelsea tank, or wish that they did.


My own experience of child raising and prams, involved the designs of 20 years ago; lightweight, foldaway things that could almost be thrown carelessly into the umbrella stand when you got home.


I am looking forward to winter and the first snowfall; then we can all gleefully spectate as the 4 x 4 owners who can't actually drive them very well, go for a slide; and the monster buggies slide all over the pavement, dragging their "parent" owners, and the chuckling kids within them.


Hey, I turning into Victor Meldrew........


Yours

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
