Pavement slab missing - big hole outside The Bishop


Recommended Posts

I was pushing a pram along Lordship Lane today, with a couple of friends, and my leg went beneath me into a ruddy big hole where a pavement slab was missing, just outside The Bishop. Massive bruise to my ankle, and 2 cuts which bled for a while...here's hoping I don't get any infections from the dust/debris that I had to rub off my trousers...


Anyone had any experience of complaints to Southwark about such matters?...


Oh..and watch yourselves if it's not fixed imminently - it's bloody dangerous!

... and pictures of the hole with enough in the photo to distinguish it as that hole in particular. I would do close ups and then from a distance with the Bish in the background, and then perhaps along the pavement, so they can see how much space the hole takes up across it. Good luck.

Unless you're a septuagenarian in real danger of breaking your hip, can't you just phone up and suggest they put a bt of tape around it, or talk to the Bishop.

What is this, the United States?


Missus Mockney got tumbled into a proper hole outside the Cherry a couple of years back (by a drunken forumite who shall remain unnamed). When she went back the next day the staff at at the Cherry were really defensive and frankly scared until she assured them that she just wanted tape around it to stop it happening to others. plus she was knocked unconscious, she didn't just scrape her knee.

Come on people, some perspective here.


ps it was Keef ;)

the pubs on LL take ? hand over fist and rather than privide a service for residents, they help enusure that the detritus of piss artistry fouls LL many nights of the week, into the early hours. If its on their marked territory, then consider your options carefully


If it is the councils manor , then just report it


I am in no way condoning compo culture & have a eef th the Bish in particular , but if a business like this begins affecting the health of non customers, then they have to be brought to task - they are not a communtiy service. they have responsibilities that overide their thirst for profit.

I dunno snorks. We had a good lunch in the Bishop on Saturday, after which I dopily left my bag behind - one of the great staff (the tall chap) chased me up the road to give it back to me. V good people in there in my experience.

A friend of ours nearly fell in said hole on Sunday afternoon. He was having a particularly clumsy day though, especially having been warned about and hour prior to this to watch out for a tree root, which he then proceeded to trip over. >:D< (Not funny to read, but it was hilarious at the time)


Agree though, it's dodgy and should be fixed.

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
