I dont care if people notice, but they ought to not speak to me as they will get told exactly where to go. If the people in danger of coronavirus (those over 60 and/or with underlying health conditions) insist on putting themselves in danger by going to shops, then there is not much we can do to help them. They can pick up coronavirus just from touching anything in there. Perhaps the shops should just ban these people from entering and let the younger generation- myself included, carry on living their life as normal.

If you need something new to read there is this fantastic new invention called the internet- you can read endless material until your heart is content.

I had to tell a nosy, do gooder woman in Co-op to mind her own beeswax when she commented on me not wearing a mask over the weekend. I consider wearing a mask completely pointless (i think i probably already had corona so am now immune) and awfully uncomfortable. If shops are not going to enforce it and are happy to let me in and spend my money, then i will continue to not wear a mask. Woebetide the next busybody who comments on it.

When these such places do reopen, ill miss walking past Goose Green and doubling over with laughter when i see a group of 50 and 60 year old doing Tai Chi like exercises. Looks so ridiculous.

Some of the London Bridge trains that run through East Dulwich are peculiarly non busy, even at peak time mornings (say 8:30ish). Its a real advantage and i am not sure why a train going into a main London terminus time still has seats available at that time so far up the line, its incredibly unusual. The overground which runs through Peckham Rye is normally much busier.

This will more than likely be gang related, like the vast majority of stabbings in the capital. However, no doubt those involved are 'good boys who always go to church and would do anything for anyone'.

erm, thats probably 9 or 10 year old children having fun. In my day it was called 'knock down ginger'. Did you really start an annoyed post because some small children played knock down ginger on you? haha. If i see a young white man with a shaved head i will stop and challenge him about whether he has rung any doorbells recently, and if so- give him what for!

I went up here last night, and it was perfectly peaceful, with groups of older teens sitting and chilling on the grass quietly. In fact, they even actually intervened when a couple of older men started loudly talking about starting a fire. Im going to go up there more often on these sunny evenings- i normally go to Peckham Rye, but at least here the bin was not full so i didnt have to leave my empty beer cans on the floor beside the bin, as is on the Rye.

mate, the BBC coming down to broadcast at Dulwich Hamlet was a once in a lifetime occurrence- i wouldnt worry too much about your sleep for the next 50 years. Also- if you find the noise of the games loud then you should have thought moving next door beside a stadium through a bit better, unless of course you moved into your flat before 1912, which is unlikely. Finally your 'property value' has more than likely gone up by 1000% since you bought, so its a little rich to moan about it potentially falling due to some development (although we all know it wont fall anyway!).

Have you considered getting ear plugs? You have been complaining about people perfectly legally gathering on public land for a couple of months now, and as you can see it hasnt and wont change the situation- and rightfully so. Perhaps you should proactively think of solutions that will make your life easier, instead of continuing this campaign and wasting the Police, Council and many others time.

A consortium lead by Rio Ferdinand (who grew up nearby in Peckham) offered Meadow something like double what they had paid for the land, promising to safeguard the clubs existence and build affordable housing. Meadow rejected their offer. Shame more people didnt pipe up then.

Can you not just scare them off? For example, say you had something in your possession that you would rather not use but will if they do not go away and leave you alone?

i dont believe for one second people are actually bothered about a decrepit bit of old astroturf- they just want to object and argue about it to have a purpose right now and in life generally. Dog walkers are a particular bunch who think that they have untold amount of rights to public space because they need to exercise their captive animal. They would probably object to a brownfield patch of ground that once house a nuclear power station and is wildly radioactive. "I object to this patch of land being developed- its where i walk my dog each day!"

Sylvester is not reopening, as im sure has been mentioned. This is a shame, as its the closest we had to a nightclub in the area. I would like to see a ?1 shop opening soon to be honest- although there are many wealthy people in the area now (those who bought here because they cannot afford Chelsea or Clapham) there are also many who are suffering financially and cannot afford to buy basic supplies, such as washing powder, for ?6 in Sainsburys.

What makes me laugh about Guardian readers is when there is an article about drugs and in the comments section below there will be an utterly HILARIOUS (!) stream of people quoting Brasseye/Chris Morris quotes about drugs, every time. Cake! hahahaha! Puked up pelvis bone! hahaha! Its not a drug its a drink! hahahahahaha!

I have once been given a fine by some kind of civil enforcement officer for taking a piss in a park in Hackney. The park was on route to another park that was hosting a music festival, and there were no provided toilets anywhere, so after a long tube journey i found a discreet spot in a park to do my business. Some fluro jacketed loser comes riding up to me on a mountain bike and dishes out a ticket- i'd have told them to do one had this brave person not worn a body camera, and i was carrying shall we say 'medication' to take at the festival, so did not want the Police getting involved. Hackney must be very pleased with themselves that day as no doubt they milked plenty of people for ?50 on account of them not being able to provide public toilets. I wonder did these wardens dish out fines every time a dog took a piss in that park? I'd be very annoyed if Southwark or our neighbouring boroughs started behaving in this manner, whether its due to littering or public urination.

As a Dulwich Hamlet fan and season ticket holder, the club have come out and suggested we ought to back the scheme. As much as i hate the fact Meadow will be making money out of this, they'll also be building Dulwich Hamlet a new stadium, on what is little more than unused scrubland behind the current stadium. Its not useful public land at all, if they were going to swallow up St Francis park it might be a different story.

saying you 'should take it home with you' is rubbish, if youll excuse the pun! Parks are maintained with tax payers money and as such ought to have suitable facilites- including bins. It is not the publics fault if the bins are too full or not getting emptied enough. Im not carrying home a load of crap just because our council is not running its leisure department properly- its going in the bin or on the floor beside the bin.

There is always going to be rubbish in parks lets face it, getting all annoyed at people for leaving the odd beer can on the grass because they are too drunk (we all do this form time to time) to be bothered to find a bin is not the answer- putting big bins in the park is the solution. On Clapham Common they have massive bins everywhere you look, and people use them. Whereas Peckham Rye has the same amount of bins that are there all year round and always seem to be full. When they are full, i think its perfectly fine to dump your rubbish on the floor beside the bin, as at least you have made some effort. Where else is it supposed to go?

This is a very typical sniffy response from this forum- if someone disagrees and goes against the general popular middle class consensus they are labelled a troll and get comments like that. Do you know how boring this forum would be if you all agreed with each other about everything? It would peter out rather quickly. Perhaps you ought to actually address my points than give such a lazy, tiresome response.

apologies- i meant blue.

What makes you think you are above the government guidelines, and you can tell others what to do? It remains peoples choice whether they wear masks or not, with the exception of public transport. I never wear a mask, as i cant really be bothered to have this thing on my face. I am young and fit anyway so i have no fear of the virus. Anyone who does would do well to avoid catching it by NOT going to shops on 'the lane' and keeping yourself safer like common sense would dictate.

You'll get a new one soon, the council seem quite good at replacing bins. Once lockdown started the amount of booze cans and bottles my household was flying through meant we quickly realised we needed another green bin for the empties. Even in the height of the virus, it came the next week. It sounds like a Wetherspoons bottle bin when they are emptied every other Tuesday though!

theyll find a way to trouser it. Not all places will, but some.

None of the ones that do not pass the saving onto the customer, and pocket yet another government subsidy funded by the tax payer. There was an American woman restaurateur on the BBC news this morning whingeing that she hadn't got enough handouts from the British taxpayer during Coronavirus, which i thought was odd!
