Public Singing


Recommended Posts

I think you are absolutely right! Why do we have to endure endless wailing from wannabee X Factor hopefuls on every street corner. My trip to work from Waterloo to ED this morning consisted of the following:


2 x beggars, both with very healthy pit bull style dogs, a juggler/fire eater with serious burns and scarring around his mouth and no teeth thanks to all the meths he holds in his mouth, 3 x Big Issue sales man, a pretend cryer from Turkey, who turns up with a smile on her face and starts crying to order for the duration of her shift.. a total con man, who I actually gave money to because he looked respectable and said he'd lost his wallet (only to see him pulling the same scam 30 minutes later in Peckham).

The sound of a poor singer wailing at me would have been the final straw!

The fact that the benchmark for 'singing' is X Factor, is indeed a very sad sign of the times.

I shall, however, retain my vast record collection - in the hope that the 'singing' caught on the acetate will one day again be considered 'up to standard'...

    • I am faintly amused by the cries of horror when the overtly political actions of Southwark Council Labour (their car hatred does after all form part of their manifesto) is countered by what might possibly be political action of others (although there is some evidence to support it being a groundswell of purely local and not party-affiliated activity). Who is behind Southwark Labour party one might ask - is it Militant Trotskyites? From where are they being funded? The Kremlin, Beijing?
    • Ha ha, some people really don't like an opinion that differs to theirs do they! Bravo One Dulwich - you're magnificently rattling the cages of people who don't want to hear a differing opinion and the fact they get so irate about it is the icing on the cake! Some spend so much emotional energy trying to convince themselves One Dulwich is some shadowy, agitator state-funded lobby group when all they are is a group of local residents giving a voice to the majority of residents impacted by the measures.
    • @Earl, Be assured, it is purely a local group. In fact it is a genteel group of Dulwich area residents, mostly ladies , who are a little  reluctant to publish their individual names as they do not wish to be targets for hostility from internet trolls. Local residents who attended the anti-LTN gatherings in Dulwich would have easily recognised the active members of the group. Should you have any queries about funding, it is quite easy to send them an email.
    • Hi  I have a spare old wheelbarrow that you could have for free. You’d need to come and collect it from Telegraph Hill, so drop me a message if you’re still looking and we can arrange a time best wishes carrie
