Although residents have only had to complain three or four times over the past few weeks about the noise pollution from Tinkers Park we are coming up to another 'stay in and keep your windows and doors closed tight or get out of the village' weekend.

A Decent Kettle! |

I am sure everyone will be glad to know?!? That at last, after 9 months, I have found a decent kettle! Its design and styling is excellent, the lid hinges don't look as if they're going to snap off in the first few weeks of use, it's quick boilng, you dont graze your knuckles on a top handle as you do on those stupid non-hinge lidded affairs. It's just great!! It's a Hitachi KET2E and I believe the RRP is around £60 but I managed to get it in Currys, Uckfield, closing down sale for £21! So not so grumpy today but 'boiling over' with happiness.
Thanks for those few comments on my troubles with the old Russel Hobbs one.

I was hoping to launch the new Market Place feature this weekend but due to technical difficulties (Computer on fire!) we're going to have to put it back a week. Still lookingfor things to put on it though! Surely there must be a lot more people out there who want to advertise things for free. If you're worried about how to do it call me on 01825 830661.

It's half past three on Saturday and NO noise from Tinkers Park all day! In fact the lack of noise from Tinkers Park has, for the first time, enabled us to hear what other villagers have been complaining about for ages - the sound of motorcycles speeding along the A272 - or Main Road - or Ridgeway - or Whatever! We really can't believe this can be permanent!

Is it another quiet weekend? |

Last weekend was so peaceful. Not really a peep (or even a toot)!?! from over the road. Can we expect to be able to enjoy our gardens again this weekend? We thought last weekend's quietness may have been due to Tinkers Park getting a letter or visit from Wealden's 'Public Nuisance' or 'Anti Social Behaviour' officer, But of course we can't be sure of that. Fingers crossed then for this weekend.
During the week there were just a couple of annoying incidents after permitted hours; a really sick sounding train going round and round for about 15 minutes and someone banging posts in the layby outside the gates, presumably to carry some sort of adverts, that may or may not be legal. But these were considered too trvial to complain to the authorities about. Perhaps our Parish Council should follow up the legality question of the advertisements in the layby?

I am sure everyone out there is much more organised and careful than I am but for those who don't back up on to alternative media everything that's important please believe me it is a nightmare if your machine just decides to burn out!

8.30 a.m. Sunday 27th. June - a beautiful sunny morning, perfect for breakfast on the terrace..... Only problem is the noise coming from Tinkers Park is unbearable - even doors and windows have to be shut tight to keep the racket that is invading the house to a minimum. Thoughts:..... 'Perhaps they are just moving a few traction engines and trains, and it will all be over in a few minutes'....

Our first blog entry is just to inform villagers that Wealden District Council diaries for recording incidents amounting to alleged nuisance connected with Tinkers Park and the Claude Jessett Trust have been distributed to neighbours. Should any others in the village who wish to monitor any nuisance affecting them should leave their email address on this blog site, as a comment, and we will arrange for diary sheets to be sent to you.

More Boycotts |

Tesco isn't the only retailer i've been boycotting over the last three or four years. When I bought some dates from Julian Graves during one of their promotional offers I didn't expect an 'Added Bonus' which came in the form of a one and a half inch rusty wire nail in the middle of one of them on which I almost broke a tooth. After the initial shock I started to think about the consequences if I had swallowed it, or perhaps even worse if a young child had got it instead of me! Of course, I contacted the local Trading Standards office who took up the responsibility of contacting Julian Graves for an initial explanation. After a week or so Trading Standards got back to me sayimg they had received a probable explanation plus an apology about which we got together to discuss. After talking with Trading Standards they asked me if I wished them to follow up with a prosecution. ...
