Hi. Not Ideal. Is anyone else fed up of the shouty scaffolders working at Goose Green primary school? I live at least 15 gardens away from them, but all day Friday and now again this morning there's this sergeant major type barking orders at his men.


I know they're just doing their work, but it surely isn't necessary for him to shout so loudly that I can hear it as clear as a bell quite far away. If he shouted at half the decibels his men would still hear him loud and clear.


I rang Ideal, the firm they work for, this morning and a very nice woman answered. She said she'd give them a ring, but it's no better.


If anyone is affected by it (maybe I'm just being over-sensitive, but I'm already getting a headache from it again on what is a very rare lovely summer's day) perhaps you'd like to ring the office too.


It's 0208 293 0456

Ahhh. He's turned down the volume a bit. I can still hear him, but it's no longer like a foghorn!


My second phone call obviously worked. Woman couldn't have been nicer. When I said he obviously likes the sound of his own voice, she said: 'That's men for you!'. Ha ha! (sorry chaps...)

    • If a food outlet has a mouse problem then it's likely to stay there until the outlet runs out of food, unless it's adjacent to other food outlets. Why would the mice move? And mice can be dealt with. If you are prepared to pay for it. Which, with some proprieters, is a very big if. I have no evidence that the problem has reoccured in its new inception, although obviously good owners keep the focus on good hygiene. You win the battle but the war continues. 
    • I suspect if one place has a real mouse problem, most of the adjacent properties do too in my experience London generally, and East Dulwich for sure, has significant mouse issues so I always feel bad when a single place is called out 
    • Just as a little follow up: Grace Dent called this place opposite Brockwell Park one of her best restaurants of the year. Quite an achievement - and it looked pretty busy when I passed by last week. Well done to them! https://www.theguardian.com/food/2025/dec/28/many-over-hyped-london-restaurants-grace-dent-best-restaurants-of-2025-review
    • As a cafe, yes. And they kept all the chandeliers they hadn't sold as an antique shop still hanging up. They had a real mouse problem, quite well covered up, however.
