Not more than 10 minutes ago, on my way to work, I saw the 2 asian women with their shopping trollies, pulling things out of someone's bin on Upland Rd! Unfortunatelly I couldn't take a photo as my phone hasn't got a camera. They were walking towards Oakhurst Grove. They didn't seem to care who saw them!

We should have a hashtag. #EastDulwichbingyppos


In response to you Cle, who have also referred to these two women as 'slatterns' in a previous post.


I am more shocked by your use of derogatory language on a public forum as if it were the most normal thing in the world, your territorial obsession with your own front garden, your apparent lack of empathy and your small minded view of the world, than by the fact that there are two women rummaging through bins. I would be more worried if my children read your comments than if they saw two people looking through the things we had thrown out through our living room window.

That was my first thought.




And yes, well said Deborah. Cle is something of an unpleasant snob judging by their posts on here.

And a few other choice terms too - it's been a bit of an ongoing joke, as was the hashtag quite clearly. Bore off with your faux shock, and find something to channel your exasperation into.


That said, I don't think your 'territorial' as a pejorative about a front garden is quite right. It's as much my property as my bedroom and I don't see why people should come in without permission and rifle around - except for the expected and the obvious whose reason and purpose is clear (postmen, binmen, even junk mail/flyering). You may want a free-for-all but please don't assume your attitude is normal.

As ever Louisa, you win the board!


Otta - calling me a snob and taking about my tone is one thing (and you're quite right even though I am slightly messing around too), but I don't appreciate the random quotation of the racial elements in the reply to me, which if you trawl through my posts, I have never once engaged on or mentioned at all. Not me talking about Asians or Eastern Europeans...

Maybe they're from one of the countries that enters the Eurovision but isn't really in Europe... Azerbaijan or Georgia, perhaps.

It was first mentioned here on the forums in March, that 2 women were seen going through bins. Who knows how long they have been doing this. They do it in broad daylight - seen mornings, lunchtimes... They go through wheelies on the pavement as well as the ones in peoples gardens. They have tall oblong fabric shopping trolleys with them - one was silver grey coloured from what I remember.

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
