  1. I think the bin men are fine around here. They even take large cardboard boxes left next to the blue bin. Always courteous too.
  2. The Sainsbury's part (on the UP section) doesn't seem to be covered by a camera. It's the section at the top AFAIK.
  3. When I cycle in a bus lane, it's the taxis and buses that scare me, squeezing past impatiently. When I take the motorbike, I behave like pretty much all fellow motorcyclists, courteously keeping to the right of the lane. Remember, we're vulnerable road users too.
  4. It'll be an alternative to Co-op or M&S sarnies at lunchtime, for anyone working in the offices on the lane.
  5. Their bread is made of thin air and is so salty.
  6. There isn't a camera there, as far as I can see (and this is where the problem is!)
  7. There is indeed a new camera, a small, silver device on a lamppost on the Sainsbury's 'up' side of the hill, about 60m from the lights at the top. It's clearly designed to catch motorists cutting the top section of the bus lane in order to turn left. Probably best to stay to the right, especially motorbikes. HOWEVER: if you do get a ticket, remember that the camera operator should observe the offence for at least 20 metres, or five car lengths, for it to be valid.
  8. I'm with you. TfL allow bikes in almost all their bus lanes, as it was proven to safer. DKH is a prime candidate for this, along with Walworth Road.
  9. They might've realised that because they were issued before the warning signs went up, they were illegal.
  10. There doesn't seem to be a camera on the side of the road, so I suspect these images are from the front of a bus, probably the new hybrid 40s. Who was the ticket from? Southwark or TfL?
  11. "Just got home and opened a PCN for crossing the last part white line at the top of Dog Kennel hill just about to turn right into Champion Hill. I been up there to have a look and noticed there are these new cameras on the top of lamp posts. There white in colour and about the size of a dinner plate. I did not notice any signs for cameras on the way up but did notice one at the bottom on the way down were there's another one by traffic lights for bus lane. So beware when driving on Dog Kennel hill if you need to do a right hand turn." This must've been a red light camera fine, for crossing the pressure pads by the white stop line.
  12. The signage is pretty clear and alway has been. Whether it's 'technically' correct is another thing. As an occasional motorcyclist, however, I wish we could use it too, especially on the downhill section. The brick flowerbeds on the inside aren't very bike friendly.
  13. I'm sure it's marked as 'At Any Time'. There isn't a camera there, so must've been from a bus or a spy car.
  14. Before the GBK arrived was a short-lived wine bar on the site. Had a simple name, like 'The East Dulwich Wine Bar' or something.
  15. There's already another Grand Designs house not 250m away, in Bawdale Road, behind Moxon's.
  16. Down in Fellbrigg area too. Sky modem has solid orange smiley face rather than white one.
  17. What LondonMix said
  18. The pressure pad is definitely working - I've triggered it. It's probably being set off by car wheels straying on to it.

  20. Why are you assuming this is speed-related? It could've been caused by the far more common cause of accidents - not paying due care or attention.
  21. Ridgeback Hybrid seat post, unused: ?5 B'TWIN competition road bike bar stem 130mm, unused: ?5
  22. I don't know which shops will suffer, apart from the Co-op and maybe Sainsbury's; Rose's, Moxon's and Franklins etc have a loyal customer base who appreciate their quality. Maybe the wine shops, but there are no independent ready meal shops on LL.
  23. Co-op will be concerned, being neither cheap nor good.
  24. Meanwhile: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/families-terror-as-people-carrier-bursts-into-flames-in-car-park-below-flats-a3324306.html
