Yet those that do think it gifts them the upper hand in any area in life or conversation.


"well, as a parent...." etc. argh!!!

If you have to work on Mondays then your Sundays are sacred- not just for you but for anyone who would suffer if you could not do your job properly on Monday having been denied adequate r and r at the weekend. If you had had prior warning of a noisy event then you could have made plans to go somewhere else. This sounds like total inconsiderate behaviour by a group of people who think they can set up in a public place in a residential area. It is not on and should not have happened the way it did- one Sunday or 10 it makes no difference. What would happen if we all did it?

Well life dosent stop just because people have work. What is the big deal??

A group of people?? These people want to hold an event that was given permission from the council. The money raised goes straight back into the community to keep youngsters of the street.

I'm sure you don't want youngsters hanging around outside your house do you?

These group of people are doing a good thing.

I wonder how all you miserable people help raise money for the community?


You guys really need to get a life. There's so much more important stuff going on than an event playing music in the afternoon!

I'd far rather put up with some noise during the daytime, than the racket my neighbours and their child make at 7:30am every Saturday and Sunday morning - without fail. That has a far greater effect and the quality of my R&R come Monday morning.

It's a funny thing noise pollution. People clearly have different levels of tolerence for different kinds of noise.


I think it was loud, but I wasn't unduly disturbed by it. I just thought it's obviously a one off event on a sunny afternoon and loud.

It is unfortunate that some of you for whatever reasons were unable to enjoy the family fun day. Happily my family did. I did not know anything about it before hand either. We heard the music as a gentle rumble from the Boys Academy side when we were out walking in the park at about 11am. We made a game of tracking down the source of the music and were pleasantly surprised by what we found. I paid my ?4 entrance fee, very pleased it wasn't a private party and and the two kids and I (9 months and 3 and a half years) had a great time. Folk were friendly, the music was not too loud as long as we did not stand directly in front of the speakers. I called my wife and we had lunch and spentthe rest of the afternoon there. Great way for me to meet and to talk to other young families and young people. I made a point of congratulating the staff there for putting on such a well organised and pleasant event. The staff/stewards were friendly and helpful, and present in good numbers. I went to one of the stands and had my blood pressure and blood sugar checked, whilst my older kid had the time of her life on a bouncy castle.

Ha ha . Well said. One of the big reasons I moved from my previous abode was the hideous caterwauling from the kids next door at 0600 every freaking morning - including my sacrosanct weekends. Lovely kids, but jeeez....

Didn't it take place this year? I was away so thought I had mmissed it. It's a shame if it has stopped, it was a fun day out for every, Irish or not.

Here's some diddly dee music to remind you of the fun everyone else had LOL http://www.southwarkirish.com/images/webclip_05_fest.wmv

    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end! 
    • Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
