PCSO's stopping and fining cyclists (on ED Road)
Sue replied to d803cn's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I completely sympathise Chav, but what happens if your daughter knocks someone down who is walking on the pavement? Edited to say: How old is your daughter? When I was at school (admittedly centuries ago), everyone who cycled did a cycling proficiency course and took a test. -

I have been known to use the sausage man's samples in North Cross Market as a stopgap between breakfast and lunch on a Saturday (do sometimes buy a whole one though :) )

Sounds a bit like John Otway who used to (probably still does) bang his head against the mike till it drew blood, before climbing up those steps you use for decorating and then jumping off the top. Oh happy days :)) The flowers in the garden, you know they're gonna get you. Yeh. :)-D

My personal view is that all cyclists should be required to take a cycling proficiency test. But yes, the logistics of it would be horrendous. -

Hey, I want some of those wheelie shoe things for Christmas! Preferably the ones with flashing lights, if they come in an adult size 5 :)) (Erm, shan't be using them on the pavement, obviously :)) ) -
If "off" meat is an ongoing issue, then yes, I would be inclined to inform the council. I don't shop there however, so it won't be me .... Somebody could be seriously ill (or worse in the case of a child) as a result of eating the meat.

:)) I can almost believe that's true :))

I am really pissed off with cyclists cycling on pavements, jumping red lights and generally behaving with no concern for anybody else and as if the law applies to everybody else but not them, so if they are being clamped down on I am delighted. I nearly got knocked down by one cycling on the pavement in Lordship Lane the other day. What's most annoying is when they do it when there is no traffic on the road but lots of pedestrians on the pavement! If they can't handle cycling on the road they shouldn't be cycling, full stop. And why the hell don't they use lights at night? They appear to think that because they can see OK, car drivers and pedestrians must be able to see them (if they think at all). I nearly got knocked over (must be accident-prone) whilst pushing a buggy across the road because the ******* cyclist came round a corner very quickly in the dark with no lights on and I didn't see him in time. I was more concerned for the occupant of the buggy than me, obviously. Rant over :) Edited to say: I'm not against all cyclists, just the antisocial ones :) -
Rubbish, innit. Dunno where this enclosed map with the red parallel lines is - I shall chase that up as well!

Well, this took over two months to come (after a chaser yesterday) but there are two documents on Tessa Jowell's website which are interesting (they're currently the first two on the page), though the letter from Geoff Koon appears to be just passing the buck, basically. Dear , Thank you for your email and I apologise for the delay in responding. I have placed a copy of a response that I received on my website. You can see this at: www.tessajowell.net/campaigns I do hope this is helpful and please do let me know if you feel I can be of further help in the future. With best wishes, Yours sincerely, Rt. Hon. Tessa Jowell MP

I don't read news stories which I can see from the headlines are going to upset me. Unless you are in a position to actually do something about these things, which is unlikely, and certainly you can't after the event, they just provide material to prey on your mind and make you disturbed and unhappy. Cruelty and anger and all the rest of it are part of the human condition, and the news media will always report this stuff because people find it more "interesting" (on the whole) than good news stories. These things have always happened, always will. But - mostly they don't. Let's be thankful for that.

We'll bear you in mind for a gig at the Goose, PGC :))

Of course I'm not keeping a tally, that would be completely pointless :) As if the whole of ED is reading this thread :) or could be bothered to post on it even if they were :)

That's not my point at all :) But yes, the aesthetic issue is something of a side issue - though not unimportant, less important than issues of health and safety

May cancel me out, but you aren't 10% of the ED population and neither am I :)

The 10% of people who like the look of the fence, stand up and be counted :)

Perhaps we could persuade the barperson who was part of the Krafwerk Tribute Band to put on his laser show there again, it was brill :)) Ooops I mean Kraftwerk (I think!)
