Have just called Sky. Problem in the local Exchange apparently. No further info with regards to repair estimate.

Rather strange occurrence, thought I'd give a heads up. Dropped my wife off in the car to go to William Rose around 5pm this afternoon. Not long had the door been shut a young, slightly dishevelled looking lady opened the passenger door and asked to be taken to Heathrow. Told her I wasn't a taxi at which point she said 'No, I need you to take me to Heathrow' and started to get in the car. Given the fact that a Fiat would make a crap taxi anyway and she had no bags my alarm bells went off. Not really fancying having her in the car I quickly accelerated a couple of feet before braking so she lost her footing and moved away. Shut the door, drove up the street a few yards and called 101 and reported it. Tried to keep an eye on her until the police arrived but she walked off up Blackwater Street rather quickly. Soon after I realised my wifes laptop bag and my phone were in the passenger footwell so she may have spotted them and been after those. Thought it worth a heads up. She was probably late twenties, black and in dark ripped & grubby clothing.

I often use the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 for work (I'm an IT consultant). They're very good and you get the best of both laptop & tablet. Haven't recommended a Microsoft product in years but this one is worth mentioning. Also you can get a refurbished Mac under warranty for a very good price from the Apple website if you want to go down that route.

Done. I will forward the crime reference number to you when I receive it from the police.

Hi I was hit in the back of the neck by a white projectile as I was jogging up Lordship Lane (opposite Townley Road) on Weds 26th in the morning. It surprised me as it was very painful and moving too quickly to be thrown. I had to stop running for a while as it made me feel a little sick. I didn't notice any van however but I wasn't really looking. Is this worth reporting? Thanks

Noted - cheers

Best post-walk Sunday roast in ED please?

There was a guy with a scarf around his face acting strangely on the corner of Crystal Palace Road & Heber Road as I returned home about 8.30 last night (Weds). His body language was so odd that both myself and my friend stopped to look at him. At which point he backed away as if threatened and walked off. Couldn't give a better description as it was too dark.
