Riot (possibly) on Goose Green


Recommended Posts

Help! There's an outbreak of smugness on Goose Green!

You have to live with smugness round here - but must they gather and use an amplifier on the once peaceful open space?

Where are the water cannon when they're really needed?

What are the anti-smug protester thugs doing right now?


One must live and let live, I suppose - so if those involved would post their names and addresses, I'll pop round with my Blue Beat blaster to return the philosophy.

Who in their right mind sits on goose green? It's a cut through for people in the Bellenden area of Peckham to get to LL, and a toilet for dogs. End of. It seems the smug middle Englanders want to turn it into some sort of village green with fetes and beer festivals.

Sounds good to me as well...

If people really cared about the welfare of Goose Green they would leave the flowers in peace during early pollination during spring and they would not block the footpath with prams. The space is simply not big enough for festivals and fetes, and it's already congested with dog walkers and new age parents with toddlers having picnics on the grass regardless of the weather. Why not make use of some of our other green open spaces? GG has enough to deal with.

There has always (well in my lifetime anyway) been events held on the Green, but I must say that people using it to sit in the sun / throw a frizbee / whatever, is a recentish thing.


Not saying it's right or wrong, just an observation.

Live and let live in a shared public space with loud music? Hmm I see a problem with this. It's like saying live and let live when you see a mother and child picking flowers or live and let live when you see someone's dog do a monster crap that hasn't been cleaned up. Where do we stop with this live and let live philosophy? Outrageous behaviour on a public green.

I don't think Louisa put any energy in to this at all. Can't blame her, it was a non starter really.

Strange Otta, but I well remember sitting, having picnics, throwing frizbees and playing rounders on the "Green" whilst listening to some of our then crowd playing guitars and drinking Scrumpy and that was in the 60's and 70's.

Not so recentish, I think !!!!

I don't understand why people can't mind their own business. Even if it is a dog-shit ridden patch surrounded by bus fumes, if total strangers choose to sit there, who cares... more room for you in the nicer parks.

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.     
    • Anyone else received a cold call from this company pretending to be calling on behalf of EE? When I asked how they’d got my data they said ‘from East Dulwich forum’. I have contacted the Admin to find out whether EDF are selling our data to marketing companies or if they’ve been hacked. Alternatively the website is being scraped somehow.    Just warning others in case anyone else receives a call- it’s a scam, do not engage with them 🙂
