Good evening all.
The wind is blowing and the rain is falling horizontally.
We had a meeting with the 'local' plod this afternoon. Our road seems to being targeted by the local scumbags as there have been 18 burglaries since January. 4 police officers and two PCSO's showed up along with around 40 residents from our road. I do realise that unless the coppers can catch the offenders in the act it can be hard to catch them. So this was really a PR job on behalf of the Met, who don't have enough officers. The Sergeant did a reasonable job explaining the position, but it was really a bit of a waste of time in the wind and rain at the junction of our road and a neighbouring road.
