Cazz

Recommended Posts

12 November I was driving down Trinity Rise in Here Hill around 5pm as I have done for a number of years. The road has parking on both sides but with enough pull in spaces to allow free flow of traffic. I pulled into the road from a side road. as I drove down I could see a car approaching, I pulled in to allow him to pass. As he came alonside me he berated me for some time that "I was in the wrong, It's a one way road, I aint pulling over for you" This verbal abuse lasted for several minutes. The traffic from Norwood Road continued to build up. Those too far away to hear the altercation began blowing their horns. After some time he drove away at which time the drivers behind him passed and slowed to ask "are you OK?" two people on the pavement either side of the altercation also came across and asked after my me wellbeing.

Disappointed.

Only at the very top fifty yards or so.


It would depend on the circumstances Cazz, you don't give enough detail - if you're a woman and it was a big bloke ranting at you I would get involved, or if you were elderly and he was young...if it was two blokes of equal size and age I might leave you to it - last time I suggested to two blokes having a standoff like that that they weren't getting anywhere and doing nobody any good they both turned on me and I had to scarper sharpish!


Obviously upset you though, just remember he's a tosser, you've done nowt wrong, brooding on it is what he wants you to do.

    • I can recommend John Hudson. I've been taking lessons with him since last year and he's very good. He teaches most styles. You can find his contact details on his website - https://www.johnhudsonguitar.co.uk/ 
    • Hello, I was carrying my sleeping toddler on Sunday afternoon (21st April) and must have been pretty distracted and dropped my jumper from my bag. Iwas walking from Crystal Palace and then getting the 363 to The Gardens near Peckham Rye Park. Somewhere I seemed to have lost my favourite green jumper - is bright green, cashmere, from John Lewis, in case anyone spots it. Thank you! (Have phoned the bus garage too).
    • And what would you suggest for cyclists that also flout the rules?  Crush their bikes at the same facility that crushes errant drivers cars ?  Same rules and punishment must  apply to all road users (except runaway horses of course) 
    • I'm looking for a guitar teacher for my 17 year old son. In terms of music that he likes, he says he's interested in learning fingerpicking (although I guess he needs to learn the basics first!). He listens to quite a lot of acoustic guitar stuff as well as indie stuff, has a curious interest in Japanese pop and loves folk too. Ideally we would be looking for someone who could do one-to-one lessons at my flat, which is 5 minutes walk from Honor Oak tube station.
