Must say that it's the riding and doing wheelies on the pavement that irked me. Don't really care if they don't wear a helmet and get themselves killed as long as they don't hurt anyone else. At best they'd make an organ doner.


Chavs ... judging by their attire and demeanour they didn't seem to be particularly smart or sensible and they all seemed too white to be playing east coast gangsta in south london.

Yes the were white and pasty, but I wouldn't go as far as saying they looked like the working kind. I am of a port and rig upbringing, so hardly anything gets under my skin more than chichiness. Acutally ... those kids did.

If anyone has video footage of yummy mummies on Lambrettas doing noisy wheelies, please... er... PM me... (rubs thighs Vic Reeves-style)

So riding up the pavements on dirt bikes, doing wheelies is 'working class'. You are a terrible snob.

Absolutely Otta. Riding on the pavement is indefensible on every level. But the tone of this root persons second and third post in particular is pushing unnecessary boundaries with racial and social stereotypes. Interestingly, I was the questioned. Bizarre sometimes this forum is.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
