Ooh, I think I know who that wouldve been!


It's probably my boy Laurence (well, I say boy, he's 42)...he's a good boy. He don't live down Landells though, he lives here with me and Mr Buttons. He wouldn't want to leave his old mum, now would he?


Anyway what he likes to do is he likes sometimes to take a little stroll late at night. Well, I say stroll, sometimes he's gone hours, he don't come in till I'm gettin up sometimes. I tell you what though it always does him the power of good, his little perambulations, he always comes back with a bit of colour in his cheeks, love him.


As for the suitcase, that ain't a suitcase, it's me Sholley. You see I says to him if you're going out and about late at night you should take Snoopy out with you, cos it ain't fair him stuck indoors while you're out in the fresh air, and he did make a bit of a fuss, but we come to an arrangement about it.


Trouble is Snoopy's not getting any younger and his hips- well they ain't what they were and so he can't go too far till his back left leg starts to splay. Then Laurence has to put him in the Sholley and wheel him home.


Well I'm glad to have helped clear that up. It's always nice to be of service to the community, as Mr Buttons always says.

    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
