Off you go to Peckham Rye Park. The pavements are very very slippery where the kids (sorry, mostly kids) scrape off their muddy boots before climbing aboard the 4x4 to be chaufferred home.... leaving nice muddy pavements for the rest of us to slip on. On a less cynical and growling note though, I do see more mature men playing football there Sundays sometimes, the southern end, and it may be worth going there on a Sunday morning and asking if you can join in?

Ta - it was watching them yesterday that got me thinking about it! Twas a wonderful Autumnal scene - all that was missing for me was the smell of deep heat.


However, not sure I have the courage to sidle up to the players and ask if I can join in. The alternative I guess is to just start playing and see if anyone notices. . . .

I invite my mates round on some random Sundays for a kick about. Either Peckham park or Dulwich. If there are free nets we play the game - one either side of the goal with one in goal and take shots. It's as jumpers for goalposts as it gets. We're rubbish as well.

    • Miatta Fahnbulleh MP House Of Commons LONDON SW1A 0AA 185 Farringdon Road London EC1A 1AA www.royalmail.com Dear Ms Fahnbulleh Chadwick Road, LONDON SE15 4PY Thank you for your communication regarding mail deliveries to addresses on Chadwick Road. Delivering a reliable service is our top priority, and I am very sorry that your constituent has cause for concern. I am always disappointed when I hear that any of our customers do not feel that they are receiving the service that they ought to. Following your communication, I contacted the Customer Operations Manager at Peckham Delivery Office. They have advised me that there are no current issues with the delivery of mail to addresses on Chadwick Road. They have confirmed that mail deliveries are taking place six days a week, when there is mail available to be delivered, and I am assured that there is no mail currently awaiting delivery. If at any point a delivery round cannot be completed on a particular day, for example we may have a shortage of staff, the unit will ensure that the address will become the priority the following working day. I hope that this reply is helpful. As always if we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Yours sincerely Michael Hogg Senior Public Affairs Manager   This was the reply the MP sent me regarding lack of post.  
    • Not according to the article I posted on the previous page!
    • That's lovely! Good for them!
    • You’ve taken the time to write quite a long post explaining why you think as you do. But as I pointed out earlier in the thread most young people look pretty much the same they tend to wear different clothes on different occasions and unless there’s something overwhelmingly stand out about their appearance such descriptions do not help  -  there’s probably about 25,000 teenagers within walking distance of the park. Any description could apply to many of them. The police have the descriptions leave it to them.  I hope you won’t stop going to the park, to reassure yourself go onto the Metropolitan police crime site and you’ll see that Peckham Rye Park is a very safe place to be.
