Some one has set up a sound system on the junction of Danby Street and Colpleston Road. This is the third time they have done it over the last week. Quite apart from it being unsociably loud for anyone who doesn't want to listen to it quite a few (well, about ten at the moment) people are starting to gather, adults with children for f's sake! Seems just about the most stupid and selfish thing to do at the moment. What does anyone reccommend, police non-emergency, noise team?? People are idiots.

Somebody round our way did a similar thing on Saturday afternoon... set up a big PA playing pop music for an hour or two. I imagine it was well intentioned, but struck me as rather presumptuous, inappropriate even. There are all sorts of reasons why people might not want to be "cheered up" by very loud music at the moment.

Unfortunately the recent "liveliness" outside ended in a stabbing last night (rye lane) - boy is OK though apparently in hospital.

Nice to have a balanced opinion.

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
