Oh the RUBBER BANDS!! Seriously drives me nuts. They are everywhere! If this was anyone else littering to this extent they would be fined but not the PO. It sounds really insignificant - and probably is - but its one of those things that bugs the heck out of me!


Its like the number 12 bendy bus going up Lordship Lane! Thats not its route!!!!


AND what about those automated check out machines in Somerfield? The are never on!!! "Lane Closed!!!"


Oh I feel so much better now

I'm so glad to see other people have noticed the red rubber bands on the pavement! Everyday there used to be two fresh ones on our front path and so a while ago I started piling them up (a bit sad I know) on the doorstop as a little message to the postie. I'm not sure he (or she) noticed or cared but I have to say I haven't seen them return for a while, or maybe we don't get enough post to warrant bundles!

My Grouse of the day is Estate Agent's 'Sold by' or 'Rented by' boards hanging around like a bad smell after the place's been sold/rented. And oddly enough when you take them down they miraculously resurrect themselves even after the property's been off the market for a while. Do they pay the owner to place their advertising board out the front of their property? Do they knock money off their commission in exchange for placing eye catching adverts outside someone's flat? I don't think so. When a property's on the market fair enough but when it's not, that's just bloomin' cheeky.


Off my chest, out my mind, the day seems so much more approachable...

    • 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.
