Tulse Hill news, chitter chatter and gossip

Shame, I liked them. Yup, looks like the end of an era then...they'll be turning it into flats no doubt. That's where the money is for the brewery. :hmm:
 
So what was happening in probin on Saturday night. Fire and police had blocked the road off and then about midnight some drilling started.

I feel all discombobulated this morning.
 
Thought I would ask the kind police men sitting in their cars. " nothing for you to worry about. Doesn't concern you."

I'll skip making them tea and biscuits then.
 
I live nearby. I'm told one person has been arrested. The police have been guarding the house ever since. Wouldn't do that for a gas explosion would they? (or would they?)
 
I'm sure if it was a gas explosion it would both have been heard by a great many Tulse Hill residents including a number of U75 members, and get a mention in the local press or social media.
 
I did hear a bang but I thought it was the cats knocking something over upstairs. I though it was a big bang as I felt it through my feet.
Perhaps one of the houses was being refurbished and the builder was arrested for installing some temporary pipework?
 
I've been away but my neighbour tells me it was a v loud bang. Some people got evacuated. Our flat didn't even though we're just a couple of houses down. They have scaffolding out the back of the flat in question. The front door still has police tape over it.
When I arrived back tonight there was a police car outside though it drove off as I was heading indoors.
They have dug up the front of the house and there are Southern Gas Networks signs up.

Has Johnny Fartpants been ruled out?
 
Probyn Road has flooded due to the same Thames Water main as a few weeks ago. Everybody in the ground floor flats has spent the evening trying to move all their possessions to higher ground. Fire service have been very helpful, but some people have up to a foot of water in their homes.

Oh lord, that's a fucking nightmare. They should get lots of compensation surely?
 
Thames Water are currently clearing out our flooded front garden which is knackered tbh - we're SO lucky it didn't come right in.

The hole this time is about 100m further down the road towards the station.

The people on Palace Road moved back in to their house 2 days ago and were flooded again last night. :(
