I had a really nasty experience on Rye Lane today where a deranged screaming mad men (drugged up, I presume) nearly ran me over, then slammed out his car, cornered me and then followed me on foot down Rye Lane, screaming as he went. Pretty scary.

I wanted to thank the group of people - both commuters heading to the ED bus stop, and the Peckham locals, who stood up for me and in some cases, risked danger by putting themselves physically between the mad man and myself.

I fled as soon as his attention was diverted, so didn't get the chance to thank those people. It's really heartening to know there are good people out there, willing to help a stranger.

This is on the off-chance any of them read the forum!

- How do dispose of sharps bins
  
  By elloriac · Posted 44 minutes ago
  
  You can request for them to come and collect your full bins again https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1879 They usually come on whatever day your rubbish/recycling collection day is. If you aren't going to be in, leave them somewhere that they can find it. If you don't need replacements, just leave a note on the full ones that a replacement isn't needed. They usually come quite early, so it's better to leave them outside if you can.

  Cyclists certainly do have a bit of a perception problem at the moment and when I cycle I see a lot of examples of arrogance and ignorance that gives all cyclists a bad name - it does seem that many cyclists have caught the entitlement bug many drivers seem to have.

  But Spartacus didn't mention the significant amounts of land being used for car storage - that was most definitely you. And I am afraid when you apply your same measure to other transport uses (like cycleways and cycle lanes - Malumbu is your stat on the 360 kms of cycle network cycleways or cycle lanes?) then it most definitely is relevant for the debate. Should we assume then that if all this ULEZ money and government bailout money is being poured into TFL then the system is, financially at least, broken or is it a case that the money is being mis-spent (like the DV junction project)?
