I've never been asked for ID at Landmann Way...until a couple of weeks ago. I turned up in a family estate car with a toddler, baby and wife in tow. I had an old toilet plus a small amount of laminate flooring in the boot.

One chap was kindly helping me unload when another member of staff marched up to me, got right in my face and started aggressively questioning me about ID, where I lived, postcode etc. He then accused me of being a builder and told me I was illegally dumping commercial waste and that I needed to 'go away' (or words like that) and get a van and commercial waste licence etc. It got quite heated and eventually one of his colleagues dragged him off, telling him to stop being ridiculous. Before, during and after this incident there was a group of four blokes unloading a massive amount of building rubble and clay soil in sacks from two beat up old cars - they didn't seem to be getting any grief.

I only took the old lav to that site as I thought it might be kept for reuse by Lewisham. So my tip is take your ID!
