Last night around 9:30 (28th March) the junction of Barry and Underhill was once again sealed off as police dealt with the aftermath of an accident, this time (as has happened in the past) apparently involving a bus. The road is open again this morning.


I have no idea of the details or cause (and I hope that there weren't any or any serious injuries) but (for new readers) accidents on this spot have been being regularly reported over years - and were themselves the cause of a number of changes to these roads, narrowing the entries into and out of Underhill and raising platforms there.


The accidents keep on happening.


Despite regular protestations to the contrary, the visibilty for those trying to cross Barry, and the speeds of vehicles proceeding along Barry, have anecdotally often been seen as the cause of accidents and near accidents there.


Nothing much, despite the changes to Underhill, really appears to have changed as far as safety at this junction is concerned.

Yes this thread keeps popping up. I got involved with the debate many times regarding that road and junction. As a local driving instructor, I use that junction road regularly, particularly when teaching. Since the bendy buses are no longer around (thankfully!)the only good thing about them was that they kept the speed of traffic down. As i've said on previous threads, vision can be obscured on occasions, but mostly it boils down to bad driving (observation) or motorists driving way too fast. Apart from hearing about the incident in question, I thought things had improved. Neverless, it is dangerous and vigilance is required at all times.

      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!

      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.
