There has been no soap in any of the three dispensers in the poolside toilets for a week or more.


Many swimmers do not shower before entering the pool, and remain unchallenged by the staff.


Why don't they put up more strident signs to encourage patrons to shower before entry?


40% of the car park has been classified for disabled, less than 2% of the membership is disabled, I wonder what fusion genius thought that one out?

Have you considered whether the extra space might anticipate a cause and effect relationship here?

SteveT at the Peckham Pulse


Steve: "Oh for gods sake, someones used up all the soap!"


Attendant: "I do apologise sir but we're having trouble with a group of ethnics who come and use the facilities wash their clothes."


Steve: "Is that some sort of joke because if it is, I'm not amused!"


Attendant: "I'm afraid not sir, you see, round the corner a traveller camp has sprung up and the place is now over run by Kosovan gypsies. They have a barbaric temprement sir and we'd rather just leave them to it."


Steve: "Good god!! I've been a taxpayer for many years now and when I want to wash my balls in a public baths I refuse to be denied decent, god fearing sanitation by a hoard of bloody tinkers!!"


Attendant: "Have some compassion sir, some of them are wheelchair bound."


Steve: "Rubbish!! It's probably some shabby ploy to wring even more benefits from the system. I wont be fooled!"


Attendant: "Here are some now, and they've brought some clothes to wash."


Steve: "Right, stand aside, I'll show you how to deal with these people!"


Attendant: "Are you sure thats wise?"


Steve: "Look here you lot. I've been swimming in these pools for quite some time now and I've never seen any sign indicating that it's O.K to wash clothes in the showers. Kindly take your laundry to the drycleaners like everyone else!"


Gypsy: "Vee apologise mizsta, bat itz de only vay vee can avvord to vosh our clothes. You see, vee cam from a vor torn nation with nothing to eat and landmines everywhere. Vee cam to dis cantry because vee here goot thingz about the people and how generous they are."


Steve: "What rot!! You're here to scrounge and whats more you're even nicking the soap. Stay out of my way in future and don't try and read my palm or flog me any clothes pegs. Good day!!"


Attendant: "Sir, I'd put some clothes on before you leave the pool."


Steve: "Oh, yes, quite right."

...he might already be doing that...or he might have a disability of some sort...or he might just be a lazy git (but I doubt it if he bothers to go swimming)

In defence of SteveT, I used the car park recently to use the Library (I am lazy!). I too was surprised by the proportion of disabled spaces.


I'm absolutely pro disabled spaces and have been know to get in a row with selfish tits who abuse them, but there does seem to be rather a lot in this site.


Though, I do wonder how SteveT knows the actual percentage of disabled users in this spot.

Yes, that thought occurred to me too (and it may WELL be the case), but then I considered the fact that I OFTEN complain about things that actually don't affect me personally, but which I believe to be policies that are ill-thought out and hence not for the common good...

There is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to apologise (well not to me, anyway :)))...we are all entitled to our opinions/thoughts etc...and it's great that we are able to express them here (NOTWITHSTANDING that Admin. see fit to remove my postings from time to time ;-))...conducive to good mental health, broadens the mind and all that...

I agree that the proportion does seem high (SteveT: why don't you ask THEM for an explanation?)

Me too!

    • Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?
    • There was another unprovoked attack on Monday this week on a young woman nearby (Anstey Road) at 6.45pm. Don't have any other details, it was posted on a Facebook group by her flatmate. Pretty worrying  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EGfDrCAST/
    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.
    • Licensing application for 2026 has gone in and they want to extend the event from 4 to 7 days accross two weekends.  There are some proposed significant changes to be aware of:   Event proposal moves to two separate weekends Number of days of the festival moves from 4 to 7 meaning also a change in the original licence is required Expected footfall in the park over the two weekends around 60,000.    Dear Peckham Rye Park Stakeholder,   Re: STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION – event application: ‘GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’ – ref: SWKEVE000935   We are writing to you because you have previously identified yourself as someone who wishes to be informed about event applications for Peckham Rye Park, or we think that you might have an interest in knowing about this particular event application.   Please be aware that the council are in receipt of an event application for: GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’   In line with the council’s Outdoor Events Policy and events application process we are carrying out consultation regarding this application.   The following reference documents are attached to this email:   Consultation information APPENDIX A – site plan weekend 1 APPENDIX B – site plan weekend 2 APPENDIX C – Production Schedule APPENDIX D – 2025 Noise Management Plan   The consultation is open from Tuesday 4 November and will close at midnight on Tuesday 2 December 2025   Community engagement sessions will take place on Wednesday 19 November.   If you would like to comment on application: SWKEVE000935 and take part in the online consultation, please visit:   www.southwark.gov.uk/GALA2026   If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.     Kind Regards, Southwark Events Team Environment and Leisure PO Box 64529 London SE1P 5LX 020 7525 3639 @SouthwarkEvents APPENDIX A - SITE PLAN weekend 1.pdf APPENDIX B - SITE PLAN weekend 2.pdf APPENDIX C - PRODUCTION SCHEDULE.pdf And just to add that councillor Renata Hamvas chairs the licensing committee.
