  • Joe changed the title to Police presence in Crystal Palace road

Apparently someone in Wisconsin typed something very slightly rude online, and someone in East Dulwich accidentally read it, meaning that the entire family and all their friends face crucifixion.

Apparently the police took a call from a certain C Little.  I understand that it was difficult to hear the exact name as there was a lot of clucking in the background.  Various farm animals are helping with enquiries, worryingly a few foxes have been seen on the prowl so this may not end well.  I say police protection for C Little, now.

Eagles and seagulls have also been seen on large numbers in the area.  I'd keep away as it could be carnage. Certainly watch your ice cream cornets and perhaps wear ear plugs.

Not sure if this is anything to do with the local authority or the Labour government, no doubt someone will find a link.

Tesco's must be GTP!

In the past I've asked cops to turn of their engines.  Even telling them that they could be prosecuted, both by the local authority and the police had no influence.

I bet that went down well........

Yes, they thanked me for pointing out the errors of their ways and agreed never to do it again.  Or maybe not.  There was also two scenes when I asked drivers to turn their engines off when sitting idling by Peckham Rye.  I wont recount the tale but they did not appreciate my request.  I've long since given up.  My experience was similar to Nigel Havers, "go forth and multiply".

I also used to fantasise about putting a potato in the exhaust.  Gone are the days when you could kill the occupants through carbon monoxide poisoning as the levels are relatively low.  Not oxides of nitrogen though.

Good grief.

Surely you have fantasised about teaching people a lesson.  

The potato in the exhaust is a bit of an urban myth, but here is what may happen https://carfromjapan.com/article/car-maintenance/a-potato-is-stuffed-in-a-car-exhaust-pipe/

So does anybody know why all these police were there, apart from doing their shopping at Tesco  and keeping warm with their car engines running (to be fair, you can hardly blame them for that, this weather)?

Are they still there? How many of them are/were there?

Has nobody asked them what they are doing there, rather than asking on here?!

    • Obviously, but they may be wrong. Not only are we coming up to another population renewal drop after the continuing effects of the baby bulge generation enter a trough,  - secondary schools are closing across many boroughs - but birth rates in the UK continue to fall (not just absolute births which are also falling as a function of the bulge unwind, but births per head). And foreign student numbers are also falling. Additionally the costs of being a student are rising, which encourages more students to go to universities close enough that they don't need accommodation but can live at home. Bubbles burst, and this may be one of them.
    • Exactly. There's also a much easier way to find out how demand and supply are interacting for student housing: look at how goddamn expensive it is! It's a huge barrier to entry for students who want to study away from home. If the price of student housing cratered, this would be great news for everyone except property developers because it would cut housing costs for students and reduce some demand on "mainstream" housing in the wider market (because students won't be looking for houseshares). These property developers (and their financiers) aren't shovelling millions of pounds into student housing because they think the market is going to crash and they're going to lose money! And if they do, it's not really my problem...
    • Just a quick question- We’re on Crystal Palace Road, backing onto Darrell Road, about midway between The Great Exhibition and The Actress, and both my daughters (late teens/early twenties) are complaining about an intermittent, very high frequency noise that they find very uncomfortable. It’s worse for the older one as she’s trying to study for the finals of her degree coming up in May, and she’s already having hospital treatment for an ear condition. The sound can even be heard from indoors with the windows closed. Neither my wife or I can hear it but it’s been going on for a few days now and I wonder if it’s one of those ultrasonic cat/dog/fox repellents, maybe connected to a movement sensor, that only registers with animals and younger people with much more sensitive hearing?    If that is the case would you mind turning it off please as it’s causing a very real problem.    Many thanks.
    • It would help if they opened times when most people needed them.  I had to send a parcel yesterday and Forest Hill post office was unexpectedly closed.  I ended up going to Sydenham, even though Lordship lane was on my way for other shopping as the Lordship Lane PO it closes at 1pm on a Saturday.
