Hi,


Just to let our neighbours know we had someone try to break in to our house on Monday night at about 1.30am. Fortunately our dog growled at the back door so we went to see what was going on and saw someone rattling the handle and staring in the window. Even more fortunately, they ran off. On further investigation, the police have said it looks like a few attempts might have been made on sat and sun night, judging by the state of the lock.


Just want to let you all know to be extra vigilant when locking up at night. We are mid terrace so not easy to access.

Thanks for the heads-up. Just goes to show that living mid-terrace isn't much protection against folks accessing the rear of your property. I'm on Landcroft, and always assumed it would be near-impossible for someone to hop over two fences to get to us. Guess that proves me wrong!


Same goes for 1st floor windows, which can also be surprisingly easy to access. Most back gardens feature enough equipment to give someone a hand (spare ladder, tools from shed, outdoor table, etc).


Glad you weren't actually burgled, and thanks for the info.

Yes, thanks for the update yeknomyeknom. This is a good warning to ensure we are all vigilant and remember the mid-terraces are not as hard to access as we may all think!


Agree with ianc too - this is made even easier if you live in the 2 bed terraces with a back extension!

Years ago when I lived in Jennings Road I got the fright of my life when the police knocked on our back door! We were about halfway along the terrace, they we're looking for someone who was apparently in the gardens somewhere and knocked out of courtesy as they hopped over fences.


It made me very conscious to be careful about keeping the back door locked when I wasn't in the back of the house (this was mid morning).


Very pleased to hear they didn't actually get in, must have been scary to see someone outside your door though :(

    • These are the times he used the word "fight", in context. And Rudy [Giuliani], you did a great job. He’s got guts. You know what? He’s got guts, unlike a lot of people in the Republican Party. He’s got guts. He fights. He fights, and I’ll tell you.   ... For years, Democrats have gotten away with election fraud and weak Republicans, and that’s what they are. There’s so many weak Republicans. We have great ones, Jim Jordan, and some of these guys. They’re out there fighting. The House guys are fighting, but it’s incredible. ... Did you see the other day where Joe Biden said, “I want to get rid of the America First policy”? What’s that all about, get rid of -- how do you say, “I want to get rid of America First”? Even if you’re going to do it, don’t talk about it, right? Unbelievable, what we have to go through, what we have to go through, and you have to get your people to fight. And if they don’t fight, we have to primary the hell out of the ones that don’t fight. You primary them. We’re going to let you know who they are. I can already tell you, frankly. ... Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back. It’s like a boxer, and we want to be so nice. We want to be so respectful of everybody, including bad people. And we’re going to have to fight much harder, and Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us. ... And we were going to sit home and watch a big victory. And everybody had us down for a victory. It was going to be great. And now we’re out here fighting. ... [ I GUESS THE BBC REALLY COULDN'T USE THIS ONE:] The American people do not believe the corrupt fake news anymore. They have ruined their reputation. But it used to be that they’d argue with me, I’d fight. So I’d fight, they’d fight. I’d fight, they’d fight. Boop-boop. You’d believe me, you’d believe them. Somebody comes out. You know. They had their point of view, I had my point of view. But you’d have an argument. Now what they do is they go silent. It’s called suppression. And that’s what happens in a communist country. That’s what they do. They suppress. You don’t fight with them anymore, unless it’s a bad story. ... With your help over the last four years, we built the greatest political movement in the history of our country and nobody even challenges that. I say that over and over, and I never get challenged by the fake news, and they challenge almost everything we say. But our fight against the big donors, big media, big tech and others is just getting started. ... Our brightest days are before us. Our greatest achievements still wait. I think one of our great achievements will be election security because nobody until I came along, had any idea how corrupt our elections were. And again, most people would stand there at 9:00 in the evening and say, “I want to thank you very much,” and they go off to some other life, but I said, “Something’s wrong here. Something’s really wrong. Can’t have happened.” And we fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.
    • Saying the election had been stolen was pretty provocative wouldn't you say? Pardoning the rioters would suggest that he agreed with them.  Wouldn't you say? Being an apologist for leaders of a country who execute political enemies, is a sad reflection of civilisation.  Wouldn't you say? Whether the above stands up in a court of law is another question but surely it is obvious to most of us.
    • "His speech did repeatedly call on people to fight."   If that were true there would have been no need for the BBC to splice together two sections of his speech that were uttered 53 minutes apart. They could have just used a clip from one of the times he actually said it. If it were true.
    • Gourmet to Honest seems a bit of a downgrade.
