Def report next time - hypocrisy of the highest degree. Happens all the time around where I live, though usually with builders. I did knock on a British Gas man n van once and he finally drove off. It's not just a council drive for cleaner air, it's a fine-carrying offence

Ah I wondered myself - I live nr Albert Rd where Kelva was killed.

Thanks for the info! :)

Agree with all of that, KK. I also think the major problem is people perhaps using the space at night and times when they can't be seen or caught out. I challenged a man letting his huge bulldog relieve himself at someone's gate, whilst he consulted his phone - and just got a mouthful of abuse. These people just don't care - and I'll bet largely aren't on here.

Yes Penguin - I totally agree with you but as a responsible dog-owner, I don't know what the solution is. We can't start banning dogs from all green spaces because a few ignorant people are irresponsible. I never use GG so I'm not qualified to comment on the extent of the matter, but I know well - it's a lovely space - especially for families and their children to picnic etc and that would put me off going there, for sure.

Hey Malumbu - not always a general rule of thumb as with anything! But I hear ya...Some breeds are just highly strung. Plus mongrels never get sick - mine doesn't, anyway... :) Very funny - Loved Hear My Song!!!

ah, okey doke. South Norwood Country park also has some water to cool off in although nowhere near as big

Yes I'm not quite sure what Angelina's agenda is re: dog-walkers as opposed to dog-owners. And given you've only seen one poo not picked up, not really sure why this thread is of any interest to you whatsoever. And to clear up once and for all the point being made ad nauseam about dog walkers not being 'professional': There are many dog-walkers who have backgrounds in Animal Management, Dog Behaviour, Dog Training and other practical experiences necessary to make one an effective and in my view, professional dog-handler. Of course, not all have undertaken any qualifications because you don't need any to take on someone's dog. Anyone who thinks it's an easy job should try it one day. And yes - there is a Certificate in Dog-Walking which can be undertaken at the Institute of British Canine Studies. So let's stop bashing people who are - on the whole - doing a good job, and serving the community of dog-lovers who'd otherwise, need to leave their pooches at home for 8 hours plus per day.

Hi Beckenham Place park has now opened its dog-friendly lake - lovely cool walks in the surrounding woods, too :)

As the OP suggests it's probably, more often than not, individuals on their phone, jogging or chatting to their mate - all of whom have their dogs behind them and therefore out of sight. I stopped 5 women in one week. One on the street who had no poo bags and gave me a mouthful when I stopped her after she allowed her dog to do it by someones gate on Underhill Road, the rest in nunhead cemetery who all said, "but he's already done one". One woman lat her cockapoo go just outside the Galleon hairdressers. Surely people who take their dogs out know they're not doing it to just get some fresh air? Plus I'm not sure any commercial dog-walkers take their dogs to GG; it'd be a pretty boring hour for them if they did...

I've also seen Roisin out with her owner who always seemed lovely - and never witnessed anything of this sort. Really sorry it happened to you, though. Irish Terriers can be pretty dominant and excitable but not usually aggressive.

Yes! 6 Dinner Sid... I had an argument with a neighbour over my own 6 Dinner Sid, Mimi, when I lived on Goodrich. She could have sworn Mimi was her cat :)

Hi Twinhunters - not sure if you've been on the EDF Facebook page,(or if this will help you in any way at all...) but there is a very similar looking guy caught on camera inside burgling someone's house.

Well said VelvetBlueberry - don't take the bait.

I agree PeckhamRose - she really couldn't win from the outset. She was told to have a go herself (as opposed to record the incident; surely more helpful for police) then lambasted for suggesting that the bloke watching should have intervened. Who cares if she thought they were whiney? - they may well have been! - that really wasn't the main point of the OP.

Cameras will do sod all. I was tailgated by an eejit in a white BMW until they got so pissed off with me, they overtook right at the speed camera on Sydenham Hill. Twat doesn't doesn't even begin to describe these drivers. He/she then went through the temp red traffic light cutting across all oncoming traffic. I've seen another driver (coincidentally, in a white BMW) take a photo of the speed camera at the same time as speeding through it - if that makes sense. I'm with the OP. I always do a slow handclap when I catch up with them at the lights after they've revved off in front of me. They always seem to be in a hurry to burn fuel. Why can't they be more gown up, and leave a bit earlier :)

within the text - not the header. Busy busy busy! :)

love this! Thank you

These are brilliant! We used to get our videos from the vid shop on GG, until Blockbusters came along on the Walworth road. How the place has changed.

No idea if this is the same dog - looked like a large Malamute. Yesterday in Peckham Rye he came bounding over to our dogs and started to jump all over my fiends older dog, who has severe arthritis. She asked the owner to call her dog off but the dog was intent on playing, so my friend had to pull the dog off and hand it back his owner. She could hardly handle the dog at all, there was no apology and she let it off minutes later and it ran off to do the same to another dog. He was most certainly young and playful rather than dangerous, but definitely not under control.

SE25...it's where it's at :)

Louisa for the first time, I actually agree with you. My next door neighbour has a huge driveway. Of which she has not partaken the whole of Xmas. Because I took her to task on this (because my aged mum couldn't park on my bday on 28th) she threatened to call old bill. I said don't be silly, girl- I just don't understand why you need 3 spaces: driveway, across driveway, and curbside. But she did! Massive sense of entitlement some rich people have.
