well not the allotmemts as such (the ones the other side of the South Circular from the Village up the hill that is) ....... rather leaving your stuff unattended on them. my friend left a few things in a bag by the side of her allotment while working on it today (err that is technically yesterday now) and the bag was nicked. This included her car keys and loh and behold she had to walk home on account of the tea leaves helping themselves to her car. Apparently it happened to someone else there late last week.

I had this happen on my allotment. Gun site on Grange Lane, but two years ago. A bunch of kids hahging around, so I thought I would be friendly instead of being anti young people. They distracted me, took my bag and raided my car, which I left unlocked. I knew where they went to school as they told me!. So reported it there. If your plot is on Grange Lane like mine, take care at lunch times

Do these posters annoy anyone else?


I don't like to be told to hide my mobile phone (or Ipod if I had one). They are portable items of equipment meant to be used in public spaces. The posters imply that by using a mobile phone in public I am somehow responsible encouraging crime and criminals. This seems, as my Devon neighbours used to say, "Arsy versy".

    • I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.    
    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
