Hello,


I'm going to relate something what recently happened to me: after I was replying to a post from this section requiring help with a bichon who has anxiety problems, the lady was answering the phone and we decided to meet up in Peckam Rye park on Friday morning at 10:30am, after 10 mins of waiting I've texted the lady to ask if she is ok then again in 20 mins I thought to give her a call to see if everything is ok with her, but no one answered so I decided to leave from the park and if she was going to contact me, I was nearby so it wasn't going to be a problem to go back and meet her but as I did not get a call from her I finished my remaining jobs in the area and left;later on in the evening I called the lady again as I was confused about the morning meeting but l've contacted her from a different number as I had a funny feeling about her,she answered and when I told her about the meeting;she said something came up and she was sorry and busy at that moment but promised she will call me at 7:30pm.I'm going to let you make a guess?Well obviously I haven't heard from her again and I needed to discuss in here about how the Respect can be shown or not to someone and the result is making someone to pay a price because of others who don't care. I'm talking about required or offered services, for both ways to work the same. The username of the mentioned person above is Safa,opinions from other members are very welcomed as there are two sides on this situation: to let it go or to let the others be aware.


Thank you

I'm sorry all that happened to you, I really am. A few similar things happened to me recently as a result of the forum. I posted about a guy who I stupidly waited for twice to come and collect an item offered. Like you, communication was appalling and no effort made to say he wasn't coming. I had another couple of instances with tradesmen, not turning up etc and that totally threw certain things and leave I'd planned from work. But hey ho, what can you do? You must have been so frustrated - the thing is, people cry wolf and when they will need help, it won't be there! What probably worries me more, is that the way society can be now, when we do get let down trying to help another - does it come to a stage where once bitten, twice shy!


For me, I think now there is always going to be a few bad eggs and I don't want to stop being who I am, because of others, so I will continue to act in good faith and hope that it will be met with respect like you say.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
