some very helpful tips from Michael P, but the OP's allegations didn't involve trouser investigation, just that they went about their business while being rats.

For which Network Rail is going to pursue them - although given its track record, the rats might still have some hope...


in case anyone thinks I'm some kind of undiscriminating rat-lover, I agree with prunellabutterworth that the Peckham Rye rat, with its complete lack of personal hygiene, was a disgrace to its community

Updated response from Southern :


Ref: HS10634


Dear Ms


I write further to my acknowledgement of the 6 July 2015. Please accept my apologies for the delay in my response.


The rat issue at East Dulwich is one that the local Southern managers are aware of. However, whilst our staff will ensure, going forward, that discarded food is removed from the station as regularly as possible, it is Network Rail?s responsibility to address this problem. The local managers contacted Network Rail by both email and phone regarding the issue and sadly there has been a communication breakdown between us and them, with Network Rail being unable to trace these emails or calls. Nonetheless, they have acknowledged the matter and provided us with a reference number of 15014/000180. The local Customer Experience Manager will continue to chase Network Rail every 2-3 days until someone attends East Dulwich on their behalf to address the problem, as until they do, it will continue to get worse.


Your feedback is nonetheless much appreciated. However, if the issue continues then I would kindly suggest that you contact Network Rail directly, with the aforementioned reference number, although we hope that they shall respond to our request in a timely manner.


Yours sincerely

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
