Dodgy deliveroo cyclist

[halicon]

I have seen a guy in deliveroo uniform, although quite scruffy, on a folding bicycle hanging around the Goose green park area. He was there very early one morning in his uniform and bicycle and I have also noticed him cycling on Adys/Ondine and East Dulwich rd in the evening and he just passed me again. He is in his 50s, has a beard and glasses and may be an authentic deliveroo person but his timings and demeanour are odd. Just wondered if anyone else had noticed him?

"has a beard and glasses"

So how is that dodgy?

[siousxiesue]

Gig economy, he may be sleeping rough or sofa surfing..

This is a disgusting comment you've just made.

If by "dodgy" you mean the hanging around... that's not uncommon. Takeout cyclists do hang around,

usually on & just off from NCR waiting on their next callout. I see them in groups outside the restaurants.

The Deliveroo jacket comes free with the job.you don't have to return it. Wearing a Deliveroo jacket does not mean you are a Deliveroo delivery person.

I've noticed a dodgy guy when I get on the 176 bus. He always sits near the front. Appears quite gruff. And he has this massive circular ring that he turns at random intervals. Sometimes he broadcasts his thoughts to everyone on the bus.

He may or may not have a beard.

I saw this really scruffy man hanging around parliament and sometimes near Boris, he sometimes turns up early. He wears a skillet jacket and trousers hanging baggily around his legs.

Everybody seems scared of him. He looks about 60 but someone said he's in his late 40s. He's scary and his demeanor is odd and I wonder what dodgy thing he has planned and how dangerous this man is.

This is another scaremonger post. First it was a man in Dulwich park playground by himself, now a Diliveroo driver parked up, minding his own business. Maybe he wanted a break. Maybe he was tired. How dare anyone put innocent people at risk by their own insecure judgements. Think before you post.

Quintessential ED Forum stupid thread.

Totally agree..I'm waiting for the day someone posts an description of me on here saying I appear dodgy because I'm not pushing a buggy, or haven't brushed my hair that morning, or am wearing funny shoes, or haven't cleaned my glasses, or have walked in a shop without buying something.

In this current situation its the unseen we should be afraid of not someone who looks scruffy, unshaven, whatever.

we live in the inner city it takes all sorts..dont judge books by their covers.

ED is not a bucolic Hamlet in Dingly Dell much as some here may wish it was.

This person is obviously on a wind-up. Trying to rattle the EDF users,

I think that's unlikely if you look at his/her previous posts.

Also, s/he is a long time user of the forum (over twelve years)

Christopher Jefferies was brought to the attention of the police during a murder enquiry because he looked odd. He was arrested, questioned and later released. Someone else was subsequently found guilty and Mr Jefferies was awarded compensation for the trauma he had been put through.

I'd classify quite a lot of these app based delivery chaps dodgy and undesirable. They lurk in packs on the streets loudly talking and smoking drugs (I know what weed smells like) then think it's ok to join the traffic to deliver food- which they have complete contempt for as it always turns up cold.

I'm afraid it appears that the craze is here to stay, but the riders should certainly not loiter in the streets intimidating passersby. Equally, do not let them hang around in the restaurant when you are trying to have a meal either!

They do that??? That's gross.

[Shivering swan1]

Yes! Cheeky buggers. The most ludicrous example I have of this was when I was having a meal with my girlfriend and one of them, clad in a huge jacket and crash helmet, saw fit to actually join us in the booth we were eating in! Honest Burger in Peckham, if your interested.

[DulwichFox]

There was this other dodgy looking scruffy bearded geezer.

I do not think he was a Deliveroo Cyclist but was posing as the leader of a Major Political Party.

Soon got sussed out though.

[malumbu]

Ia this a facetious post? If so well done. If not please tell me as I will then say what I think of it. Makes a nice distraction from Covid-19

Actually the jacket isn't free. You have to pay for it out of your wages, pretty typical in the Gig economy. Even the Subway uniforms (the sandwich shop) are bought by the employees.

Deliveroo couriers are a different species to the Homo Eastdulwichus. They are primitive, resort to tribal behaviours, aren't into culture, and should be exterminated. Listen to the SE23 Fuhrer, Deliveroo couriers are a scourge on our society and need to be rounded up now.
