Travellers in the media video.

I have no idea of how many vehicles are on Peckham

Rye nor how many families. I don't like when people

don't deal with there own shit, I presume most people don't. However, and its not about making excuses for "fly tipping" this thread has an

Underlying tone these people are unapproachable.

If the people complaining on here about the "fly tipping" saw any locals dumping rubbish, would there reaction be based on the individuals, would they offer any info on Southwarks facilities, or is it as simple that they just wouldn't want to know.

I used to live in a tenement in Dundee, and every year a group of "tinks" as they were locally known used to come to a patch of waste ground nearby.


To the best of my recollection they neither caused any trouble nor left any litter.


But still people used to talk about them in derogatory terms.


It's sad that so many people seem to want to live in a world where everybody else is just like themselves.

I agree Sue, it's sad when faced with differences,

it seems easy to condemn without any communication,

Automatically expecting a certain behaviour, as another poster has put on the other thread, I can see how there surrounding space could be used to

offload not only rubbish but blame.

Whatever the case here, these people were guilty

soley down to being travellers by some posters on here.

Where are all the people condemning these children and saying what do you expect, all ED children are bad and do this?


It would have been a different story if it had been Traveller children throwing things at ED residents.


Posters on here would have been falling over themselves to comment and complain.


Wouldn't they?

Every bigot under the sun relies on "personal and anecdotal experience" to confirm their prejudices. It does not, however, mean they have objective evidence to prove their assertions.


And for those bothering to debate with ChrisBeach, this is the chap that thinks that Enoch Powell is misunderstood, so you're wasting your breath with logic. He'll just accuse you all of being left wing for disagreeing with him.

Seeing as you lifted that from my post, feel free to PM for a list of my interactions with this delightful section of society.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
