Feel awful this is my first post and I am here to moan... Some joyful souls sang their hearts out last night from around midnight to 3:30am... Dancing queen, barbie girl, I'll be there for you and other shower time classics... Didn't want to report you guys and ruin your karaoke party but please keep it down a bit next time... Cheers

No point posting here you should be contacting the Southwark Council about this. And they won't the reading the forum, it'll be too early as they'll all still be in bed with hangovers.


ONLY JOKING, but I thought I'd be the first here to say it. /curmudgeon mode ;-)


From that playlist it sounds as though they'd be of 'a certain age' and should know better. I'm having a similar local problem but it's more of a persistent up to 3am "Livin' la Vida Loca" issue. I'll be reporting them too next time.

Thanks Andrew thought I'd give this forum a try before I report them to the council. Every neighbourhood has "a voice" eh.


Jah my guess is I am younger than the singers, but that's not really the point... If I sound miserable it's probably due to the lack of sleep :(

They were super noisy!!! Ace of base rendition and bohemian rhapsody were particularly entertaining!


We are hoping it was a one off and doesn't happen every weekend (can't complain as we have probably been those neighbours once)! We could see which house it was coming from so will happily mention it to them if it happens again!


Now for an afternoon snooze....

Grab yourself a clipboard or file put in your Southwark Council Tax bill or any other correspondence with Southwark Logo sticking out the top and walk around there - assuming they don't know you of course. Pretend to be from the noise control team. Be nice and say you have no option but to call on them because there have been complaints.


Done it twice myself and it worked a treat. 100% more effective than ringing Southwark, waiting an hour for a call back and a further hour for them to come around and trample through your house to see if they can hear the noise and do nothing in the end.... I have tried it the proper way to no avail and I do not own a handgun - unusual for Peckham I grant you so my clipboard is my new weapon. Can be borrowed at a fee !!!!

Monts; Im pretty sure its me who should be feeling horrible that my first post is to appologise, rather than you having to get online to ask for one! The playlist seems gutwrenchingly familiar and I believe this may have been my party (allthough the date seems a little off). I spoke to immediate niegbours and handed out my phone number ahead of time etc, and left a note on the front of the house with a number as well, but thats no excuse for lack of self regulation. I value our community and would hate to fall out with anyone over this, so sincerest appologies to everyone and thanks for your patience. It was indeed a one off and wont happen again. I will have to trust freddie mercury will somehow live on in our hearts without my homage.

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
