its not his whistling, its the way he intimidates people!! & yes he sure does!


i have been on the recieving end of it & i can assure you me & my female friend weren't impressed, & it was late one evening whilst we were waiting for a bus, (outside the new gym on lordship lane).


i'll tell you what though, he doesn't do it to me anymore, quite simply because he knows my boyfriend who has put him in his place, funny enough that happened well before i met him!!!!!!!


he now says hello to my boyfriend everytime he sees him, only because he knows he cant intimidate him!

Whistling Man is called Dean I think. Just say "Alright Dean" and he is ok. I don't think anyone can say he is violent unless they have good reason.


Anyway - as of 6.50pm tonight he is currently standing by the Rye Hotel in a camo hoodie and a white baseball cap looking pretty sharp. He has his earphones in, is digging the beat and just gave the thumbs up to a bus driver.


Until he beats me up, I like him. A lot.

you seem to be a bit contradictory between this thread and the whately road one in which you say how your sister is too scared to walk down the road due to their shouting and anti social behaviour, meanwhile you rubbish sweetgirl's feeling of intimidation from the whistling man because you've shared a cuppa and he was ok then.


I can't be sure but think I've encountered whistling man causing trouble in Gold Lee before complaining about the prawn crackers - he was incredibly agressive and threatening towards the owner and called the police himself (stating the prawn crackers had been too hard) who thankfully came quickly and calmed him, moving him on.


You seem to be incredibly protective of your sister - at least respect similar feelings others may have too.

I can see that the whistling and unpredicatable behaviour can feel annoying and threatening and the leery shouting of the people being singled out in Whately Road likewise.


I have sympathy with the people who feel diretcly threatened by the proximity of unruly behaviour I can see that having to avoid stretches of your own road for fear of abuse would be very stressful.


I'm interested and a little disturbed by the vehemence of some people's reactions to these people.


I've come across the residents of WR once or twice on the bus and they are loud and, it seemed to me, not particularly well equipped to negotiate their way through the world.


The clubbing together to set clear distinctions between "us" and "them" on this forum isn't suprising, I suppose. People are frightened by the idea that they might slip out of their lives and into the underclass through illness or ill-luck, but I find the shrill assertions against the anti-social behaviour of these outsiders a bit much.


Anti-social behaviour isn't the preserve of misfits and the mentally disturbed as this weekends middle-class twatfest on the tube indicated. I wonder if a horde of mad asbo wielding benefits claimants had swarmed onto the circle line with cans of special brew there might have been more of an outcry.

But you only see them sometimes. If it happens every day and close to home you

tend to find the fear and anger ratchets up until you will become permanently

on edge - waiting for the next disturbance.


I'm not at that stage yet but the whistler loves to stand just outside - I'm tempted

to throw pistachio nuts at him from the 4th floor.

its not as it goes - I have been known to be bawdy though I am not, as yet, a nan


I don't think people should "learn a lesson" from being attacked on the street. People with mental health problems are very likely to be physically attacked - sometimes because they are "annoying".


I find this situation horrific and I am very shocked by sweet girl's attitude.

      Free / cheap adult bike for a school project

      By marctt · Posted

      Suggest you contact the Young Lewisham Project (https://www.younglewishamproject.com) and see if they have an old bike you can have. Otherwise keep an eye on Freecycle (https://www.freecycle.org) as bikes often given away on there. Hope this helps

      Price rises in Sainsbury’s

      By Insuflo · Posted

      The price of some things seems to be volatile. I think there must be a spike in international chocolate markets or some such. Sainsbury’s recently increased the price of both Club and Penguin biscuits from £1.60 to £2.00 a pack in one hit, so a 25% rise.

      Lordship Lane Post Office Closure

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Well said. I don't think much of that post office's business is Mrs Miggens withdrawing £7.34 in cash from her pension because she can't be doing with the new-fangled computers. That's a stereotype. I'm terminally online and digital but when you're dealing with physical objects (like bloody parcels or cash!) sometimes you need to drop them off and pick them up from somewhere. That's especially true for international items. I don't want to do that at Tesco or Ken's Korner Kabin where you have to piss around with some deadbeat courier's app which never works, and where you can't yet the courier on the phone and the poor guy in the shop doesn't know how to fix it and is only being paid 13p for the transaction. I don't want a million white vans being driven up and down the same street every day by insecure workers in the gig economy being paid peanuts. I want to drop my stuff off and pay the fee at my local post office, and I want my stuff to be delivered by my brilliant friendly postie who knows me and my neighbours and where to leave stuff safely. And judging by the huge queues out the door at Lordship Lane PO it seems there are plenty of people who end up coming to the same conclusion. Rant over...for now.
