Hello all,


I lived in East Dulwich around 2015/16, and one of the things that always stuck with me was the regular sight of hand-written posters pasted up around the area, although they seemed to be mostly concentrated around Goose Green. They were neatly written, political and religious in nature, terse and sometimes cryptic in wording, and were often accompanied by newspaper cuttings. They referred to themselves as The People's Noticeboard and would say things like:


HOW MANY LUNG BREATHING THINGS WITH NOSTRILS NOT ABOVE FOUR INCHES FROM THE GROUND DIE OF LUNG CANCER? ANSWER VERY FEW.


They would often sign-off with a request for people to write to the Queen directly at Buckingham Palace. I've done some searching online but can find no reference to the posters, although this may speak more to my googling skills than any lack of existing evidence. Does anyone have any memory of these posters? Do you have picturs of them or perhaps even an original copy of one? Are they still being put up? Has anyone looked into them before? And does anyone know who was responsible for creating them? I've attached a photograph I took of one of the posters during my time there if it helps to jog memories. Any information would be of use.


Thanks,

Jamie

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • 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!
