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.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
