I presume that someone is clearing the bottles away, given that we aren't awash with them.


Actually I've never seen one of these bottles myself, even though I live near where they are alleged to proliferate. And no-one in densely populated ED has seen anyone putting them there. I'm wondering if this is not all an elaborate leg-pull.

Last week I was thinking he had stopped as I hadnt seen any bottles for quite a while, ( I presume a he so I will stick to referring to the culprit as he )

So imagine my surprise yesterday morning 1O Oct 12

He really as outdone himself this time

I counted 28 bottles in all see pic attached.

He hadnt stopped, he was just making a bigger effort to save up his output for one spectacular


Can people please stop talking about a cabbie and oil

I havent tested the stuff but it is watery, not oily.


This is likely to be a local person with personality/mental problems.

It's not causing any harm, but is equally annoying and mysterious.


having said that, any volunteers in the area to install a webcam/cctv overlooking that corner of Crawthew/Worlingham roads

My Earlier posts on this subject was that it was the work of person trying to emulate Banksy.

I seem to be the only person with that opinion at that time as I was shot down in flames. Then what's new.


I have never thought it was Pee, but if the council are cleaning this up then surely they could answer this.


There have been periods of inactivity .


Not sure if that is because there were no incidents, or they were not being reported.

The two seem to coincide, but having said that, if there were no incidents there would be no reports.


Like I have said before, I have only seen one occurance of this.


Whether it is Pee or oil, it is deliberate.


If it was some sort of 'Artistic' prank I would feel there would be more sites.

Ok. so it has taken 9 months to prove it is urine.


Cabbies are having the finger pointed at them.


Logically any cab driver would pour his pee down the nearest drain.


Or are we to believe they all meet up with their bottles and one of them

takes them and places them at a dedicated site.


Or is it the work of a Crank. ??


What makes most sense. ??

We have just moved to Ladywell Road, SE13, and I've just found one of these bottles in our front garden. It's a small soft drinks bottle, full of a liquid that looks exactly like urine to me.


Has anyone started plotting these on a map?


p.s. The taxi driver theory seems plausible, by why would they not place them into the nearest wheelie bin?

If you are so lazy & knuckle dragging that you can't get out of your car to pee ....... what chance is there that you will have the brains to get out of the car to fly tip your piss into somebody else's bin???


I'm completely unconvinced by the theory that all this is attention seeking or planned ..... I fear we simply have an anti social arse-hole in our midst.

    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
    • We went to Chern Thai for lunch on Saturday, as we have done quite often, and they were closed, with no sign of life. The sign in the window still says Saturday 12-3, and there was no indication that they would be closed. Can anybody shed any light? We went to Chilli and Garlic on Zenoria Street instead. Their falafel salad bowl is amazing (and amazing value!) but we had been looking forward to a Pad Thai and a pint of Singha! ETA: I am reviving this thread because it is/was  specifically about Chern Thai's opening times!
