Hi - does anyone know the appropriate bureaucrat to contact who might stop someone from putting cones out to reserve a parking spot on a daily basis? My neighbours and I are all trying to avoid direct confrontation with this individual as none of us are that brave...


Thanks, Otto

Hoi 'em down the road, run away quick, get parked up and practice the phrase "Cones? Don't know what you're talking about neighbour. Laters"

Or if you're feeling brave "Cones? We don't need no stinkin' cones" and then get some good scarpering in.

If the cones are met police cones, then a phone call to the local nick telling them your neighbour has some of their property should quickly sort out the problem.


From a brief "google" it seems the placing the cones on the road constitutes "obstructing the highway" and is technically an offence.

But proving it and enforcing it won't be so straightforward.

Try and use the "Strangers on a Train" technique - find someone else On the other side of SE22 with the same issue - maybe via this forum?- and agree to move each others cones. That way neither of you will be recognised or rumbled because even if you are spotted you won't have a motive. Hey ho, the perfect murder...

What kind of arrogant cock does this!


1. Set up hidden cctv / web cam looking at parking space.

2. Move the cones.

3. Park your car there.

3. When the prick either attempts to beat you up or vandalizes your car, the whole thing will be on CCTV, so you can haul him up in court.


Out of interest, why are you too scared to move the cones? Be brave, move them and see what happens you bunch of middle class, London softies. You have assumed that this guy is some kind of maniac, I imagine without ever having speaken to him... grow some bones and deal with the situation.


If you are a girl,I can understand your fear, if a bloke, you dissapoint me big time.

Fair do's, if you can't beat him, join him. Do a deal, get some cones of your own and you, him and the other neighbour can run a cone maffia on the street. All three of you would be guaranteed a parking space and you'd have this 'hardman' backing you up.


The long term solution of course is to move out of this dreadful town. If something so simple as parking near to your own house is a daily drama, I think you should take the hint.

I think we live in quite a socially diverse area and some people who are not equipped to deal with that.

honaloochie, do you think the world would be a better place if everyone had big dogs and put cones out? No, some men are girls and that does make the world a better place. That said, I would stick with my rugby playing alpha male over a girl any day.


Otto, pm me your address and I will be your stranger on a train and complain about it for you.

What does this mean? Who is not equipped to deal with what?

Elderflower, I've not suggesting anything at all about 'big dogs' and I've just checked and am not 'pro-cone'. The world would be a better place in my view if people paid a bit more attention.

Are some men girls? Seems a little unlikely.

And, Elderflower I wish you both nothing but good things and long life together. Cheers.

"He is a pretty tough guy".


He may look it but if he can't take it as good as he threatens to dish it out then he ain't is he.


That includes letting him watch you displace his cones if you cannot park anywhere.


Have someone with you like your neighbour who's also to scared to deal with this dick, then at least you have a witness.

    • So much passive-aggressive in one small reply.
    • I had not realised your photographs were of the road I live in - which I must admit I do not recognize. I had though they were not Underhill Road  but elsewhere. Apologies. I had thought I was writing of my own experiences in Underhill Road but obviously I don't know my own streets. When the men I watch tip rubbish into their lorries they do not seem to spill out into the road, but obviously my eyes aren't good enough to see this.
    • It was around New Year 2023; I had walked my dog past the exact spot late that evening before it happened. There were a lot of cars in Straker's Road that night playing loud music. "Roadmen" Alice. We all know who they are but you are daring, through the use of public shaming and ostracism, people to declare something you already know. Tut tut Alice, white boys also affect a Roadman persona. There was a statistic I read on a council advert at a bus stop in Lambeth, it said "99% of young people in Lambeth have never been in trouble with the police". We all know 99% of the 1% are Roadmen so lets not pretend any further.
    • “Peckham rye is a very safe place to be” was someone not murdered for a phone a few years back, also daily muggings happening at the park if you look outside of you bubble
