Anyone else hear this pain in the arse pretty much every night roaring around the Goodrich Road/Friern Road area? The noise from his scooter makes the windows in our flat shake and you can hear him half way down the road towards Peckham Rye!!!


No idea where he lives, but seen him flying around the roads a few times and he drives like a bloody mad man. Can this sort of thing be reported to the authorities?

It's one particular guy on a silver scooter. I noticed him on Monday afternoon going up Lordship and couldnt believe the racket. Ever since then I've heard him going around Lordship late at night.


What was wrong with just putting playing cards on the rear spoke or you raleigh bike?

Its a guy at the end of Hillcourt/ Goodrich near Donkey alley who does the work on scooters to soup them up. Therefore, the local kids come to visit him late at night to get work done. Therefore, its not actually that easy to deal with, unless he is trading illegally... Trading standards may be the best approach along with the rozzers.

I've heard this twonk. Might I suggest all of us concerned simply stand at your window or on the pavement and point and laugh at him. He is doing it just to show off after all and if he was made to look ridiculous instead he'd quickly stop. I'm not sure what these types think is going to happen by having a very noisy scooter. Are the local ladies going to be alerted to his presence by the racket and chase him down the street begging for a date because he has a little bike that makes a lot of noise?

In my experience little things that make a lot of noise are rarely a turn on to women.

Loving your work, Jamma. I hear this prat fairly frequently revving his little hairdryer in the small hours. What a dick. A complaint seems unlikely to do any good, though. Buy some earplugs and sleep through it, or set overnight piano wire between 2 lamposts at a height of about 5"...


(although if i can ever afford another bike then i'd appreciate it if the wire idea could be revoked when i'm working late ;-))

Left a message for Duncan to call me and filled in the form on the Southwark website. Hopefully put an end to this god awful noise.


Failing that - the piano wire acorss the road seems a good shout!!!

We're on dunstan's road and often hear the roar of the t*** on his bike and yes our windows shake as well. Last night was particularly bad. Will report the noise also - hopefully if enough people do, something might be able to be done (...well one can dream!).

Just as a question, has anyone actually mentioned the problem to the rider, he/she may not know they are causing a nuisance and may well not realise that they are p@ssing off 90% of East Dulwich, or they may have a blown exhaust that needs repairing and they are stalling it until pay day.


Whilst I am not normally tolerant, I would say give them the benefit of the doubt before purchasing piano wire as the red tape involved in a headless rider is huge....:'(

It's difficult to do so as when ever I have heard him it's been late at night and by the time I think to get up... he's half way towards Peckham. Will be putting in a late shift tonight to have a word.


Spoke to Duncan who was very nice and helpful and if anyone catches a glimpse of his registration number we've to get it to Duncan as he can pay him a visit at home.

Its not that particular rider. Its the guy who deregulates the scooters - so there are multiple people visiting. Therefore, the person to deal with is the one doing the work.


I will have a word with his parents.

Seems it might be multiple riders... still if we can get one registration number, Duncan can pay him a visit and obtain the information as to who the guy is doing the work....

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
