Some of you may be aware of an incident that took place in Dog Kennel Hill Sainsburys at approximately 4pm on the 29th of April.

This incident relates to Barbara Gustaffe, a treasured member of the community who worked for around 20 years in Dog Kennel Hill Primary School.

After finishing work that day, Barbara did her usual shopping in Sainsburys and became suddenly unwell. She collapsed and had a heart attack in the store.

Barbara sadly didn't make it and was pronounced to have passed away soon after.

As a close family friend I would like to thank members of staff in Sainsburys for how they handled the situation as it was an effort to keep the scene clear and protect Barbara's dignity. I would also like to thank Starbucks who helped with Barbara's very young grand children who were scared and confused. Also I would like to praise the efforts of the police and paramedics.

Thank you to those fellow shoppers who were respectful at the time. Unfortunately the same could not be said for all and I hope reading this post people can reflect on the fact that we live in a generation now where some people would rather pull out a camera phone then help or too busy worrying about their minor inconveniences of not being able to complete their shop all whilst a family are in obvious distress going through the worst moments of their lives. This was extremely traumatic for Barbara's children and Grandchildren who happened to be witness to all of this.

I would also take the time to ask if anyone wants to help in any way or has the kindness and means to do so, we are raising money for Barbara's family who have now been left with the financial burden of ensuring Barbara has the best possible send off and celebration of life. Barbara gave so much to our local community working in the school, as does her daughter Natalie who also works in local schools. If we could give back and help in any way to a family that have given so much I would greatly appreciate this.

Many thanks in advance.

The Friends of Dog Kennel Hill School would like to offer their deepest condolences to all Barbara?s family and friends and all the staff that worked with Barbara over the years.


This has been a big shock to our school community - Barbara was loved by pupils and parents past and present. We also want to thank all those who helped on Friday and for all the words of support that have been offered to our community.

    • Meanwhile, I'm withdrawing my previous high appreciation.  Firstly there were my attempts three days ago to provide the detailed information they needed,  to enable the technical team to check a specific post in their log  and see the server responses.  I found myself as if going round in circles.   The bot eventually told me that it was Support I should be sending it to, rather than 'here in chat'.  I'd been following the links to the numbered Ticket throughout and had not even been aware I was in a different part of the building.   It was beginning to feel as if I was being gaslighted so I just gave up, and went off to educate myself on the latest requirements the biggies such as Gmail require in ther DNS security information.  I've long had an SPF record, and it's now clear that I should be ready to install at least a DMARC, and preferably a DKIM one too, in my domain's DNS record.  I'd not noticed any recent problem before the migration, so had assumed (but haven't yet checked) that Plusnet have been inserting their own secure identity confirmation items, for known subscribers like me who use their mail relay to send email as from their personal domain.   Anyway, I've just  had another try at giving the bot the required information, and that seems to have succeeded, so I'll see wait to see what the Greenby techs say about it all. On top of that, yesterday evening I was searching for a really important email which I had to reply to,  which I'd purposely put in a separate Plusnet webmail folder.  I found that all my added folders there were empty, just as in Vladi's reports, which I'm immensely glad  of.  Knowledge of his experience and a fairly quick and successful resort  to his strategy worked for me too and helped ratchet down my alarm, which was present even despite the knowledge that somewhere I should be able to find another copy of the file. It could have been otherwise.  A system fault like that, unreported and left uncorrected, could potentially contribute to doing people real harm.  I remember two years ago, a single instant of deep fear, on hearing something on the radio about the dire legal effect that could result from an inaction similar to one of my own, that was immediately followed by a slight oddity in my hearing in one ear.  I connected the two and measured my BP for a period shortly after.  That more or less confirmed that there'd been a marked jag in my BP, occasioned by the moment of fear, that gradually declined.   Two or three days later I woke up with a severe  hearing loss in that ear.  That led to a referral to an ENT consultant, but by the time that arrived the loss had thankfully been more or less reversed.
