Iā€™m on the local ā€œvillageā€ faceache pageā€¦
Normally itā€™s complaint after complaint about dogs, kids ands the usual nimby stuff howeverā€¦
This morning someone posted about the guy attempting to break into his house through the front door and how his new security system has recorded him approaching the door then running away and how heā€™s going to the police.
The village rent a mob has been hailing him a hero all day for getting this burglar and bring him to rightsā€¦
that is until a wee voice has popped in to askā€¦
do you get milk delivered ?
Of course I do, got to help the local dairy outā€¦

Cool because you just recorded the milkman!

Amazing.

I love the ones where people take pictures of white vans up to no good.

Several local tradesmen have replied saying thatā€™s my van, going about legitimate businessā€¦ I was in your road to fix a sink/dig a garden/whatever and not steal puppies/murder old ladies.

Absolutely 2 weeks ago we had one wahoo!
She complained of having to drive around a white van parked half on the pavement unloading a delivery, it was huge and it caused her to crash in to cars coming the other way.

Could everyone search their cctv in the street so
That she can show the police and insurance that she was not at fault it was the van!!

I got a warning! :smirk:

Mob mentality has been getting bad I think with the rise of local Facebook groups. Regularly seeing posts of legitimate delivery fans being advised of ā€œlooks suspiciousā€ when itā€™s just a Hermes guy doing the roundsā€¦

Edit: this is the happy thread so also they have been great during both lockdowns with lots of people offering out help to others :sweat_smile::grin::grin:

are we in the same village!?!?!

What annoys me (sorry i know this is more a GMG topic now) is the description of the page is ā€œas a family friendly group, with no negative comments welcomeā€ I started flagging some of these dog poop messages and ā€œwho thinks now is a good time for a bonfire?ā€ posts and was told to wind my neck in!

Your oc not let you in to ā€˜run the tapsā€™ before now?

We had a member of staff working basically next door to the squadron during the entire period so they were doing all of the H&S stuff.

Weā€™re allowed to prepare to return to F2F now so I thought Iā€™d go and get my personal stuff. I didnā€™t need it urgently just would rather have it in my possession than leave it on the squadron for another 8 months.
