To the porky, balding 40-50 year old with three dogs (one on lead) - the last two mornings I've taken photos of your dogs shitting right in front of you in areas where children play and people like to picnic. On neither occasion did you bother to pick the mess up and dispose of it in one of the many suitable bins so I'm going to report you. Dirty, ignorant people like you make life that bit worse for everyone else.

How I wish I had been able to catch the serial litterers who had left Dulwich Park in such a state this morning. All along the bowling green, tissues, crisp packet, empty glass bottle, doilies, paper plates...nice.


I spoke to the community warden and he said that he'd recently asked some picnickers to extinguish a BBQ, reluctantly they had done this, but left a load of rubbish behind. He managed to catch up with them and had a word and was told by one guy that he would like to punch him in the face.


I just think that as a community we should try to tackle all forms of anti-social behaviour.

I really enjoy outdoor exercise, and I've gone through the process of signing a contract and pay for a permit that means that as a personal trainer I must use the common within a set of rules. If I were to break them I'd lose my freedom to use the space as so. Therefore I agree with 'first mate'- as a community we should try to tackle such forms of anti-social behaviour. How in this instance?

Mako, indeed, my feeling is a more broad ranging survey on a variety of perceived issues in the parks, might be more efficacious, killing a variety of birds with one stone, so to speak. It might be cheaper too and give a general overview of ways public spaces could be improved as well as providing more balanced and coherent view of what the public want.


It is also the case, I believe,and from what I have gleaned on the forum, that the biggest issue with dogs is fouling (as in the title of this thread) which is arguably a kind of litter, albeit a highly unpleasant form, and one that none of us want.

I'd rather on the spot fines than naming & shaming which

I still feel uneasy about.

First they took photos of the dog foulers, then they took photos of

the canoodlers and philanderers and finally they took photos of

everybody, just in case.


It is generally a bad idea if you have anything you would rather people

not know. get the dog wardens out - and bring back a dog tax.

Dogs need to relieve themselves somewhere. So long as the owners pick it up, no problem, no need to name or shame.

Who'd have thought that 363 passengers were such sensitive souls!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
