Just to warn everyone that parking tickets are being given out if you park on Strakers Road (road to the carpark in Peckham Rye). I received a fine of ?130 today, along with many other cars in the same row, for parking with two wheels on the pavement. In my ignorance I hadn't realised this was an offence and thought I was being considerate in trying to ensure there was still enough room for other cars to get by. So please be careful when parking there!

Inconsiderate Drivers do this, I walk with an Metal aid if I have the option of trying to pass a car that is parked on the pavement close to a wall, I can take a risk and it takes time for me to get in the road, the road being very busy, and trundle past, or squeeze through the tight space left for me to get through, I would not intentionally damage a car but if it did get damaged then I would not feel guilty.

As I see it the driver has taken a risk the same as if he had parked on a yellow line.

Why do people feel the need to park there anyway? I went down on Friday afternoon, after school, and the park, of course, was heaving with people enjoying the sun. Happy days. The car park was busy, yes, but still spaces. But there must have been 10 or so cars parked along Straker road (as well as the camper van advertising the comedy club).


Just you wait till those Spooks types come back to the Rye - you'll get more than a ticket then :)

    • Hello - If anybody has any hifi valve amplifiers, working or in need of restoration, I'm keen to buy such things from you! I particularly like amps from the 50s and 60s, the sort of thing you used to find in old sideboards, but ultimately anything with glass tubes sticking out of them is of interest to me. I am also in the market for good quality hifi items in general, particularly faulty items in need of fixing and restoration. This includes turntables, amplifiers, cd players, speakers, graphic EQs, cassette players, reel to reel players, etc. etc. Ultimately, all electronic musical objects are of intrigue to me. Many thanks, and hope to hear from you soon, -Scott 07956 853 538  
    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
