They serve no useful purpose, other than to highlight the selfishness of car owners who are already polluting our air with their fumes and cluttering our streets with their ugly metal boxes.


One is currently going off, repeatedly, in my street and is sure to disturb me for most of the night. If ever there were an example of anti-social behaviour, it is leaving a contraption making an almighty din parked in a residential area.


This does really quite anger me.

Trump.


This so does really quite anger me.

I find your assertion ludicrous sir. If we were to work on that logic we would have to shut down the power stations to prevent people being hit by trains.


In my mind there is no doubt that the blame should be laid squarely* at the feet of the manufacturers of audio devices.


* How exactly you lay something squarely I have no idea.

Works for me, how much more romantic the age of steam, when men were men with moustaches and galoshes, and ladies were not afraid of whalebone.



Still, I'm afraid that someone may steal my Hansom; perhaps I could procure myself an urchin from East London and have him installed to screech loudly should any undesirable approach too closely, or if the skies thundered as they do when there is too much ether in the air.

It is all well and good to look back with nostalgia at the availability of urchins and constitution of the women in times past but believe me it will not feel so romantic when you are shoving a handful of leaches down your trousers 3 times a day as treatment for the 3rd degree burns you received from your steam powered mobile phone.


Do I get a prize for the world?s longest sentence?

See another useful thing about trees is that they help to absorb the sound of car alarms going off in the middle of the night Mr JRussel, just imagine how loud and echoie* they would be with no trees to deflect and absorb the sound...


Can I suggest planting more trees along our roads to help curb the menace of car alarms at night...


*is this a real word ??

Replacing car parking spaces with trees would be an acceptable use of street space. It is when we try to accommodate both that there are problems.

It is now LP.

I could see it catching on as a name too, 'I christen this child Echoie Green'. Has a nice ring to it, that.

      Problem with neighbour- Southwark Council doesn't help. What to do?

      By Peckhamflowers · Posted

      I appreciate you wanting to help Angelina, but at the moment, unfortunately, the nature of the help we need is slightly different. But you are so right. There is always two sides to one story, and at the moment me and my family's side is not really getting heard.  And for your information- mental health problems are very common among the general public and in my view nothing to be ashamed of, looked down on, or to be used to label someone. Having a mental health problem is simply the same thing as having a physical problem with your knee or chest. But it could explain certain behaviors and ways of experiencing your surroundings, which is why I needed to mention it in my post.  As I said, thank you for getting involved Angelina. Anyone else who have experienced something similar as me?  Any constructive suggestions?

      Peckham Rye Lido

      By claresy · Posted

      I used to go to Brockwell all the time, but with lockdown it changed from being able to stay all day sunbathing and swimming to a limited lane swim time slot for the same price. This totally changed the relaxed vibe. It's also incredibly difficult to book online. If this has changed back I'd love to know. I really miss how it was. I guess it was an easy way to make a lot more money!

      Fuel theft

      By hobbs16 · Posted

      Yes.  It happens to a neighbour who has a van parked off Sydenham Hill quite a lot. It's because the fuel lines are easier to get to than cars.

      Peckham Rye Lido

      By bodsier · Posted

      I like the idea of a lido, provided it's accessible to all. I haven't been for a while now.   Do you have to book Brockwell lido in advance and or have they gone back to just queuing  to enter?  Are you able to stay for as long as you wish or are there time slots.  Do teenagers  have access to these spaces? I can't see them booking in advance and time restrains would  not work for them...particularly if its costly. The last time I went to the lido it seemed to lack the diversity that it once had.
