Not sure it's the new road layout. Possibly the position of the bus stop by ED station. When two buses pull up, it blocks the road back to the crossing, and it's dangerous (and illegal) to overtake there. It's usually clear after then, up to Denmark Hill station.

Happened to us once because of a blocked drain outside. Call Thames Water and insurance. Got most out in buckets and the rest just soaked away (after the drain was unblocked). Insurance paid for air dryers and dehumidifiers for two weeks.

Yes. about the same cut as ebay

amazon marketplace? I resisted the obvious one.

Thank goodness for that. This thread was getting a bit like this:

Go unplugged

Put something on your car that will distinguish it from any speed camera/parking fine/bank job CCTV footage - a GB sticker, baby on board sticker etc.

Live up to your name, and deal out some Es. That would liven it up.

Sounds like mistaken identity

Game activity.

If your track rod end snapped, there would be a skids mark from the point of impact, from your collapsed wheel.

Check the kerb further along the road too, there may be scuff marks etc At least she's put herself in the car at the time of the accident. Also, why would she leave the scene if she thinks you were to blame too? Too many holes in the story.

Sure a few quid could've been diverted from the ?500k Grove Vale 'improvement' scheme.

James B is right in suggesting that zebra crossings would've been the better option. Despite being out of favour these days, they actually promote the concept of eye contact between road users which is one of the principles of the living streets movement. Traffic lights, especially ones located near junctions, create a false sense of priority and can cause motorists to dash through ambers and greens. The crossings on Barry road suffers from this. And traffic lights cause congestion. Look at the chaos with those temporary roadworks lights.

I've done this before, absent-mindedly. Good for you!

Or if the car's nicked or not registered to a bona fide address

Yes, as long as you're not in the bus lane between the hours of 07:00 - 10:00 Monday to Friday.

They're just 6-sheets, the size of posters on bus stops. They're already part of the urban landscape and have been for years.

@google: but the only thing missing in dulwich is high street cctv There is high street CCTV, but it's used to catch motorists parked in loading zones and bus lanes. It wouldn't be on your side street, nor should it be. And anyway, CCTV doesn't necessarily prevent crime, it just records it. Look at the summer riots and the 21/7 failed terror attacks (not 7/7, the cameras were 'broken') The easiest way to prevent burglary is to make it as unappealing as possible to the burglar - lights on timers, stuff hidden out of sight, good locks, windows closed. But even this isn;t enough sometimes.

Fair point about Foxtons, or indeed any of the many estate agents, who all tend to use cars as means of showing folk around.

What bonaome said. Works in oz.

When I rode past there was a couple of police cars, a police van and an unmarked car. The cops were talking to a mum in an Audi Q7

Daylight robbery, as usual.

You forgot 'councils'.
