Have just been rudely woken up by a scam artist who must have knocked on my door 100 times... Description: late 20's-early 30's, London accent, lightly tanned skin, around 5"6 broad chested and overweight, light brown/dark cream coloured jacket and dark trousers, trainers. Looks and sounds like he'd just come out of prison. Claimed to be "working with the builders down the road" clearing their garden - despite there being no work done on our street at present! Quickly became rude and abusive when his pathetic ruse was called out. An unpleasant turd in human form. Have informed 101 who couldn't seem more disinterested. Warn any vulnerable friends/relatives I guess.

My wife has been complaining about this actually; we are on Crawthew Grove, it started a few years back, then seemed to stop, starting up again circa last September. I'm normally at work around the time she hears it most - between 11pm and 2AM, but even when I'm home I just can't hear it, which she just can't believe, so I guess it depends how sensetive your hearing is... Would love to get to the bottom of it too!

Thanks for your helpful feedback 😀

Hi all, My wife is a mature student studying Graphic Design. For her Final Major Project she has decided to produce an information campaign focusing on Breast Cancer Awareness. You may not know, but this also affects men, so it is not a gender specific questionnaire. All responses will be kept anonymous and will be used to shape how she goes about creating her work. If you or anyone you know has been for screening (or yet to do so), or been affected by Breast Cancer, please kindly share the link with them. https://forms.gle/WVY4iFUL7LwTUdK98 You can probably complete the form faster than it took you to read this message 😊 Thank you very much!

There was a reported/alleged EDIT accident with a pedestrian just now. Buses on the way to ED are severely delayed.

OP, how is your dog doing? I really hope they were able to recover from the awful experience.

I live a few doors down, it's been going on for ages, the people in the downstairs flat say they just go out for the afternoon in sheer frustration. There's often kids in a nearby garden in Worlingham also causing a ruckus at the same time, not fun for me as I work nights so it messes with my sleep. Not much you can really do except hope the parent/s take some responsibility, fat chance of that in ED though!

So my wife has just joined a college class, and the teacher is apparently pretty horrible, they won't even help students to format a USB stick to save their work on! I have ordered a stick from Amazon, and will pop into the Apple Store on Friday to see if they could help me out by formatting it - it'll still be sealed in it's original packaging, but was wondering if they refuse, could I possibly ask someone who might be hot desking in or around Goose Green to help out? We don't use macs at home, otherwise I could naturally do so myself of course.

Just had a mockney discount-bin clone of Beckham dirtbag disturb my peace with the usual "doing some work in this area, couldn't help notice your roof needs some work done" So you can either choose a suitable insult from the Monkey Island canon to hurl at the retard or just slam the door in his fake tanned face.

We moved to ED in 1980, my wife really loves the area, but we are looking to move out within the next year with the simplhy atrocious level of "care" at King's A&E being the main factor. Had two awful experiences there, and at our age this is a major concern. Both my parents sadly died there and I have no wish for any more of my family to suffer the same fate.

A "puppie" by his retarded owners - it looked like an all black dog, very muscular, wearing a shoulder mounted grip, possible staff mix (am no expert on dogs) a fat, seemingly drunken pair of unpleasant Irish in their 60's repeatedly jumped up at a young lady in her mid 20's just over an hour ago in Goose Green up by the church, then went for my wife. The dog tried to bit her after jumping up at her chest, leaving her with a scratch, then ran at me, I managed to push it away then it came for us again as I confronted the two morons who had no control over this dangerous animal as it was obviously too strong for them, they appeared drunk, it was untrained and they simply didn't care. I reported it to the Police as soon as we got home, got a crime reference number. If you see this dog and it's scumbag owners, I'd urge you to vacate the park asap especially if you have children. It'd be for the best for the dog along with it's owners to be destroyed.

Must admit that seeing it popular again for teenagers or slightly older riding around on stolen TFL bikes pretty much every day tees me off. Been seeing more adults around the area and it's surroundings on them too, bumps the prices up for using them, and no doubt helps normalise stealing of other people's bikes on the street too by the sight of the many bikes I've seen kids riding there's little to no chance of them having bought them.

Had ours missed yesterday, second time in just over a month...I submitted a missed collection form and it was emptied today, not sure if it was just ours or the whole road. Last time it was def just ours. The guys dong the collections are a really nice bunch of people in my experience and it's not the end of the world, can't imagine how exhausted they all must be at the end of every shift, it's just a bit annoying the council isn't maybe investing enough into the service for it to be running properly.
