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.

    • Another bite for JAGS ( James Allen Girls school) classes are excellent too. There is also Dulwich boys but less light and airy )might be better nor as haven’t been for a while) 
    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
    • No need to provoke you since you respond constantly to everything. It is not a gross exaggeration - I took photos. Do you not like people answering back? A bit head girl aren't you. Unkempt roads and weed-lifted pavements with dog faces bags all over the place - when the blue bags, which are regularly not collected by the LA, are split open by foxes. Again, I have photos.
