"first world problems" is the most pointless expression imaginable. We live in the first world, hence a first world problem is a problem. It is a tautology. And it is bloody annoying.


Saying that, I use the station every day and have never noticed these kids. Or the giant hair balls that people keep complaining about.

Think it may only apply to those people that were never a child themselves.


Scooters and footballs. ???


and all you are doing is just trying to get home.


How frightfully annoying.

I did complain to Southwark council as I am sick to death of walking through hair weave and dirt on the Blenheim Road exit to the station, it's disgusting some evenings. I have even seen dead mice as people just throw food and packaging on the floor. Last night, the unruly kids were running in the alley, and playing football, with no supervision and bashing into people. It's mayhem between 6-7pm.
???? - I am a jolly and smiley media professional. I just get very frustrated when I have to walk through a playground with crap on the floor - if I dumped rubbish in my road, surely I'd be done for fly-tipping? Don't get my started on the busses - people eating smelly food, babies and prams making a song and dance getting on and off, and only usually travelling 2 stops, oh and the drivers who can't drive - excessive breaking and slowing down so we stop at EVERY traffic light.

Stick to a car. Public transport is vile. I can only imagine how awful it must be to rely purely on a bus or train. And as for walking out of a station after a long day at work to be greeted with the pungent smells and dirty streets of Peckham Rye station entrance- well... Needless to say, I totally feel for those of you with a gripe.

I travel by public transport because I don't drive because I can't afford a car. I travel everywhere by public transport. I commute to and from Peckham Rye Station most days to Rotherhithe, and shop along Rye Lane, and feel I must live in a parallel universe to people here. Why is everyone so intolerant?

So, you enjoy travelling to and from Peckham Rye station. Good for you. Not everyone does. I don't see why it is intolerant of a person to want a nice clean tidy station area and not have rowdy kids running up and down making a noise.

    • Not sure what the age range is but Woodcraft Folk meet at the East Dulwich Community Centre in Darrell Road on a Tuesday evening.
    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.
