'Air Raid' style siren sounding at 9am

So, I've heard this a few times, in the Seething Wells/filter beds area I can hear what sounds just like a claxon/old air-raid siren. This happens at around 9am and certainly happened this morning (Tuesday 8th March). Any ideas what this might be? Is it something to do with lock-gates, flood defences, pumping stations or something different? Perhaps it's nothing to do with the river at all. Just one of those peculiar local 'mysteries'...

Do drop a line if you know.

Hi

Has anybody else noticed the sharp deterioration of the mail deliveries in Surbiton in the last three weeks.

My mail used to come about 10.00, which is already pretty bad considering that 20 years ago it was before 9.oo

Then I realized that it came about 11.00

I opened the door and it was not the normal postman, but an older lady. She has a pushtrolley instead of the bikes they used to have. I asked her what had happened and she said there hand been changes and there were less people.
