Hello!

Has anyone else been bothered by the man with the loudest whistle in the world? He was walking up and down Rye Lane last night at around 10.30, then I (I'm on Peckham Rye, at the top of Rye Lane) could hear him intermittently for a while, then again at 3am when he also seem to have a drum and be shouting. It really is an extraordinary whistle, and combined with shouting and drumming is a bit of a nuisance. Any suggestions what to do? He seemed to be on the Rye for ages last night.

He's down at Rye Lane regularly, busy assisting the bus drivers with their traffic management. I have seen him on occasion act in an intimidating manner...mostly at passing motorists who don't get his take on the Highway Code.


Once saw him get a bit shirty in Inside72, but on the whole seems harmless enough...

Its OMAR - hes a killer - in The Wire ;)


Edit: and if he's here, we really do have Gang Activity.

No He's not white and 80 (unless it's Kaiser Soze) :) ) he wears a yellow HiVis jacket


Directs traffic, whistles LOUDLY and shouts - I see him outside Co-Op House a lot.

Don't worry. It was a joke. This character (from The Wire) used to walk down the street whistling and brandishing a shotgun.

    • As I understand it, Poundland itself  has been saved (and is reassessing what it sells and its pricing strategy) but nevertheless is getting rid of a quite a few stores, including the ED one. There was a thread on here about it before it opened, and Lordship Lane always seemed to be a very odd choice of location for what used to be called a "pound shop".
    • But without knowing why they were removed, I don't see how we can comment. Does anybody know the reason?  I thought Malumbu's post was useful information, given the subject matter of this thread  I didn't think it was patronising.
    • Milo came home briefly last night but was unsettled and incredibly wary of us. We know he's be staying at other people's homes on and off over the summer, and this is very unsettling to him. If he's coming to yours for food or inviting himself in for the night, please turn him away or put him back out. He has a home, he is loved, and he is well looked after when he is here. He probably goes elsewhere as he not a huge fan of his medications or diet, but he has those for a reason. If he's not here, we can't make sure he stays well or be sure he's safe.
    • I would 100% recommend Silvano for anyone looking to learn to drive for the first time or refresh their skills. I took lessons with him after not driving for over a decade and Silvano got me back to driving confidently much more quickly than I thought possible. He’s super friendly and a great & patient teacher. Couldn’t recommend him more!
