I don't know if I'm being unreasonable but I'm getting really fed up with Southwark doing the bin collection on our road usually just before 7am on Saturdays. If it was a week day I'd be a little more sympathetic. If it was a private person making that much noise so early they'd probably give them an asbo.

This is one of my pet hates and I sympathise.


Why they can't collect during 9 to 5 on any day, thus avoiding waking up people at unreasonable hours as well clogging up the rush hours traffic.


If services are contracted out, it should be written in as a clause.


Just because the bin men want to finish early is a crap excuse.


Saturday morning whinge over, but I will write to the Council about this, because it makes me seethe, well a little.

It's worth a try

Of course it's not too early. Speaking as a road-sweeper/semi-binman in a former life (and no, not as a student) the concept of 'job and knock' ie you have a set round and then you finish made up for a poorly paid job. I think that's probably not the case since the services have been privatised but surely it's better to have the bin lorries on the street early rather than getting in the way of traffic when we want to be pottering about of a Saturday?

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
