I live in Dylways in a small block of flats There are 6 flats with 7 residents.

Monday this week a guy knocked on my Elderley Nieghbours door, strange because he is the only OAP in our flats and lives at the end flat on the 1st floor, My nieghbour is deaf so he uses an hearing aid And quite often he turns it off indoors sadly he had it on so he heard the Guy knocking on the door, He told him that there was a leak on the coming through a downstairs cieling in the flat below and told him He needed the water turned off, with that he entered the kitchen with my Neighbour and closed the kitchen door, After a minute or so my nieghbour started to feel suspicious and asked the guy to leave whilst re-opening the kitchen door only to see another guy and a young lad in his sitting room, my Neighbour started to call out loudly and they all ran from the flat, one of them had something black in his hand as they fled the seen.

We called the police immediatly and i must say they were there in minutes, my poor old neighbour clearly shaken by this intrusion was in a terrible state of shock, he was shaking but managed to give a Discription of the one that entered the kitchen , he was wearing Jeans with a checked blueish shirt on , he had brown hair and was mid thirties About 5ft 8 and of stocky build.

if any one as had this caller or know of any one eg friend or Nieghbours then pls get in touch

Many Thanks Cas

Oh gosh, I hope your neighbour is okay, he must have had an awful fright. Its terrible to think that to be trusting in a reasonable situation to be trusting in, that someone could totally invade your space. Its unfair to burden that fear on anyones shoulders. I hope he will be okay from hereonin and that the police catch the horrible people.

    • Honestly, the squirrels are not a problem now.  They only eat what has dropped.  The feeders I have are squirrel proof anyway from pre-cage times.  I have never seen rats in the garden, and even when I didn't have the cage.  I most certainly would have noticed them.  I do have a little family of mice which I have zero problem about.  If they stay outside, that's fine with me.  Plus, local cats keep that population down.  There are rats everywhere in London, there is plenty of food rubbish out in the street to keep them happy.  So, I guess you could fit extra bars to the cage if you wanted to, but then you run the risk of the birds not getting in.  They like to be able to fly in and out easily, which they do.   
    • Ahh, the old "it's only three days" chestnut.  I do hope you realise the big metal walls, stages, tents, toilets, lighting, sound equipment, refreshments, concessions etc don't just magically appear & disappear overnight? You know it all has to be transported in & erected, constructed? And that when stuff is constructed, like on a construction site, it's quite noisy & distracting? Banging, crashing, shouting, heavy plant moving around - beep beep beep reversing signals, engines revving - pneumatic tools? For 8 to 10 hours a day, every day? And that it tends to go on for two or three weeks before an event, and a week after when they take it all down again? I'm sure my boys' GCSE prep won't be affected by any of that, especially if we close the windows (before someone suggests that as a resolution). I'm sure it won't affect anyone at the Harris schools either, actually taking their exams with that background noise.
    • Thanks for the good discussion, this should be re-titled as a general thread about feeding the birds. @Penguin not really sure why you posted, most are aware that virtually all land in this country is managed, and has been for 100s of years, but there are many organisations, local and national government, that manage large areas of land that create appropriate habitats for British nature, including rewilding and reintroductions.  We can all do our bit even if this is not cutting your lawn, and certainly by not concreting over it.  (or plastic grass, urgh).   I have simply been stating that garden birds are semi domesticated, as perhaps the deer herds in Richmond Park, New Forest ponies, and even some foxes where we feed them.  Whoever it was who tried to get a cheap jibe in about Southwark and the Gala festival.  Why?  There is a whole thread on Gala for you to moan on.  Lots going on in Southwark https://www.southwark.gov.uk/culture-and-sport/parks-and-open-spaces/ecology-and-wildlife I've talked about green sqwaky things before, if it was legal I'd happily use an air riffle, and I don't eat meat.  And grey squirrels too where I am encourage to dispatch them. Once a small group of starlings also got into the garden I constructed my own cage using starling proof netting, it worked for a year although I had to make a gap for the great spotted woodpecker to get in.  The squirrels got at it in the summer but sqwaky things still haven't come back, starlings recently returned.  I have a large batch of rubbish suet pellets so will let them eat them before reordering and replacing the netting. Didn't find an appropriately sized cage, the gaps in the mesh have to be large enough for finches etc, and the commercial ones were £££ The issue with bird feeders isn't just dirty ones, and I try to keep mine clean, but that sick birds congregate in close proximity with healthy birds.  The cataclysmic obliteration of the greenfinch population was mainly due to dirty feeders and birds feeding close to each other.  
    • Another recommendation for Niko - fitted me in the next day, simple fix rather than trying to upsell and a nice guy as well. Will use again
