When we lived in Sydenham there were two particular parties of note. Firstly the next door neighbours flat handed us a note about a party. I read the short note inside out, upside down, back to front but couldn't manage to see the invite to us. We came home from the pub and couldn't hear any noise so were relieved that we hadn't wasted time going to what must have been a dreadful bash.


Another time downstairs asked us to a flat party. We got there with no guests and fairly quiet music. We were a bit bemused but told that nobody arrived until after the sound system came. After which the whole street was rocking, and buildings vibrating to the base.


All comes across as a bit net curtain twitching to me.


And as for the six clock motorbike. Have YOU never had a party that was a bit loud, went on a bit late and got a few complaints.


Now if it went on all the time get the council involved, noise pollution etc. Not sure how Southwark handles thing but I had a notice served on me for a bally temperamental burglar alarm (story is a bit more complex as the tenants used to take the battery out so it wouldn't automatically go off after 20 minutes) and continue until the second battery in the bell box would go dead.


And don't get me started on car alarms bloke over the road (now long since moved out).


Sorry folks I have now joined in.

Bass not base (whoops).


Just knock on the door of the house party and say John invited you. Haven't done that for some time and I don't think it was successful. I also remember seeing some students in a pub and clocking their invite. I was a lot younger then and would be arrested if I tried this today.


Young and not so young people seem to have this pocket computer device which says where their mates and anyone they have ever met are.

Sorry Lynne, but 3 am is no longer considered particularly late for a party esp Christmas or NY. i doubt you'd get much traction if you contacted council or police. If it become regular or happens other than weekends then you may get some sympathy.


Christmas has become a time where its expected that people party and enjoy themselves, and that does tend to get noisy.

Oh good god - reminds me of "are you on the bride or grooms side" when I used to get into any party going.

Keep up, I've posted that sentiment already but also discussed my experience with noisy parties, noise annoyance and local authority action, ie trying to keep a balance. I was witty, interesting and looking at both sides to the argument. Even slipped a typo in but my two trolls seem to have gone on holiday.

    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
