Why stop at the internet ? What about media overload - Surely constant viewing of corry, eastenders, X factor etc is as bad as twitter, facebook, reddit, xbox.... It's just that we find couchpotatoism more acceptable than gluing yourself to your table, phone, PC, console...


My wife spends her life facebooking, tweeting, instagramming, whattsapping where as I would you tube, wiki and research for interest (with a bit of PS3ing in between) - 2 sides of the same coin. I like to learn (really hate none educational media no matter how its packaged) where as my wife likes the relax and consume media content.

    • Other local constituents are likely to be less keen on having an increase in noise pollution. Must be a change in wind direction but Brockwell sounds even louder today on the village side of Lordship Lane.     
    • It’s just so so loud, I can’t imagine what it must be like if you live right next to the park. I am so stressed by the noise half an hour away! How can this be permitted?  
    • You are not the only one no. Local residents are fighting Lambeth through the courts over the increased use of Brockwell Pak for these types of events. And there is the GALA festival on the Rye this weekend, also unbearable at times, although it seems to be a bit quieter today. Brockwell Park is probably more complicated in terms of noise management, because the entire park is on the side of a hill. The Rye at least is sunken in a bit where they locate the festival. 
    • This evening is fine, have pm'd address Annie
