Hi,


I've recently moved into a property on North Cross Road, East Dulwich. I don't have a car in London so parking is never a consideration for me, but this weekend I have family coming to stay with me. I'm wondering where I am best to instruct them to park as the market will be on on Saturday?


Thanks

Simon

Utter rubbish, its very possible to park on CP road, I do it all the time, especially on a Saturday, i'd suggest you go to a driving school where they specialise with sessions on 'how to park your car'

why are you so rude and combative? coming from Peckham and parking on CPR - 'I do it all the time especially on a Saturday' does not makes you cleverer than anyone else but makes it difficult for my daughter with baby, family/visitors/deliveries, or indeed any residents to find a parking space close to their own front doors to enable unloading/loading of shopping/children/elderly on a Saturday morning. This road and others nearby do not exist solely for your convenience.



I dare say, you will be legally parked, and 'entitled' but thoughtful and considerate clearly does not factor.

nor your unnecessary and nasty put down of Pugwash's parking skills and helpful suggestions.

Myself and my neighbour both live on a road with a CPZ and Crystal Palace Road is the nearest road to us without a CPZ so we both park our cars on CPR pretty much daily and nightly, as its quite an effort to apply for a permit to park near our own homes!, hence me being somewhat knowledgable on parking on that road.


Sorry for my tone coming across as rude, I was simply trying to help.

Sorry if I'm being dim, but have I understood this correctly?


You and your neighbour live on a road with a CPZ, which means that people who don't live on your road can't park there, as the CPZ presumably was introduced to ensure that residents (including you and your neighbour) are able to park in their own road.


But you don't want to make the effort to apply for the permit which would enable you to park in your own road.


So you both park on CPR "pretty much daily and nightly", thus taking up spaces which people who live on CPR could otherwise use. Those people probably include parents with small children having to carry the children and all their paraphernalia from their car to their house; people with heavy things which they find it hard to carry a long way; people with mobility problems which aren't severe enough to qualify for a disabled parking space; people having to make several trips to and from their car with luggage, shopping etc..


Do you not find something a bit wrong with that? Especially given that the residents of CPR are not able to park in your road.


To be clear: I am not suggesting that only people who live in CPR should park there. I am suggesting that to park there night and day when you could quite easily park in your own road with a small amount of effort on your part is ..... well, you decide.


Or is there something I've missed here?

Ah, OK.


I fell for it.


WUM.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      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.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      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.

      By Sue · Posted

      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.
