Predatory door knockers?
To all elderly persons living alone - beware.
Yesterday a group of three girls aged between 10 and 13 knocked on my door.
I opened it on the chain and peered through the gap.
The eldest said "I've walked a long way. Can I have a drink of water?"
I said I was ill and so I couldn't, and shut the door.
Today, I mentioned this to a neighbour who said they had knocked on his door too with the excuse 'looking for somebody'.
Today two feral looking youths sat in the stairwell for 20 minutes eating, then left their food wrappers when they left.
Such incidents make us oldies feel unsafe.
I have parked my axe by the front door again.
Get a door chain and use it.
PS - perhaps what we need is a door entry system for these flats.
