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

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
