Marijuana farm? They are traditional in East Dulwich. Usually try and bypass the electricity meter to avoid detection. Or........what else could it be? I missed the helicopter action. They are 4 vans now, a hole is being dug and the coppers look very bored.


Is it wrong to be this nosey, if so I blame it on ?lockdown? 🤪

Nothing wrong with being nosey. Our neighbour was up and witnessed a burglary by van, reported it and not only did the police get the burglars (apparently) but also found a marijuana farm in the property as mentioned. Think the work they?re doing now is to do with the electrics as mentioned.

Are you being serious? If only criminals worked sociable hours eh?

Busting a puff grow is hardly a good enough excuse to wake up probably hundreds of people. I had a big party recently, before the lockdown i might add, and my neighbours called the Police because of a few people laughing and chatting in my garden at 4am. So its okay for the Police to wake everyone up at that time of the day, but not for me when im having a party on private property?

Yes I heard it around 03.20am - 03.40am. It appeared to be flying quite High up.

Would of been a lot Louder had it of been flying at a lower altitude.


On what grounds did you make Your 'Formal' complaint. ???


The Helicopter was circulating so a live incident below and not following a vehicle being chased by Police on the ground.

I expect the Police havent got a great deal to do right now, with most people staying at home, hence why the resources being used here. I was in Peckham the other day on Rye Lane, and of course there was loads of people around, but apart from the usual rampant lack of manners, arguments and general not giving a damn attitude (and total abandonment of traffic/parking laws), what struck me was the lack of gangs of teenagers hanging around outside McDonalds causing trouble and the lingering threat of violence and vile language. This was a good thing, and must be a huge relief for the Met Police.

Growing and smoking weed is a victimless 'crime'. I dont personally indulge as i prefer other stimulants for my dinner parties, but there is no harm in smoking a plant that grows freely in the ground.

It is not antisocial to have a party till 4am. in fact, its extremely social to stay up with friends chatting and laughing and not kicking them out because you are afraid what your Victor Meldrew neighbours might think. I dont understand why instead of complaining they do not just pop round and join the party, there is always plenty of beers in the fridge.

    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood. 
    • Line speed and the strength of your Wi-Fi signal are two separate things.  The first is determined by the type of connection (fibre/copper etc) to the outside world and the second is the connection between the device (printer/TV/laptop/tablet etc) and the router. If you are connecting a device to the router using cables (as Alec1 is) then this is will give the best possible connection but isn't practical for many without a degree of upheaval and even then not all devices (tablets for example) will allow a wired connection. So you relying on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the device and this will depend on the quality of the router, the type of Wi-Fi connection (the frequency), line of sight etc - many different things.  This is why some people opt for a "mesh" type setup which is supposed to give a solid quality of Wi-Fi signal around the house with little or no blackspots.  It's expensive though and still requires the devices that send and receive the signal (like the plug-ins you have) to be wired to the router.
    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.
