a guy comes to the doctor -- "doctor, i am developing holes in my penis" the doctor says "well, you have to stop masterbaiting" the guy says "Oh, WHY??" the doctor: Because i have to examine you.

MP twas only half a duck mind

Pierre I'm sure if it was an issue of speeding through traffic no one would be complaining - no one would be able to cross (saving the need for any sort of crossing) and the traffic movement would mean no congestion (again no need for a crossing) ;-)

2547896 and a half! No seriously I would like to know too AND what the 2007 "audit" found.

BBW are you sure uve not many of those mentioned? ;-)

This extra crossing at Somerfield "idea" has popped up many times over the years... why has it not gone through? What were the arguments for and against? I really can't see how "road safety" would be improved by placing a silly crossing at this point. Placing a crossing on a bend (however slight it is) is a ridiculous idea. Large vehicles already have enough trouble passing each other on this stretch when trying to navigate around parked cars/delivery vans. Pushing cars to park further up or down the road wouldn't solve the problem - it would still be there where drivers can't see around properly creating the same risk of people suddenly popping across the road or the possibility of bumping other cars. As it is many pedestrians ignore the already existing crossings down the lane and either stroll across the road at any clear point or appear from no where with out any thought for drivers and have the view "well drivers should drive more carefully". Maybe we should just make Lordship Lane a pedestrianised area and be done with all the bother! Well, if the council can come up with such wonderful ideas I don't see why I can't! ;-) Where are the Somerfield Lorries planning on unloading if this plan gets the go ahead? Ashborne isn't wide enough to accommodate large vehicles. As to the raised tables - do they ever work? Can the council provide accurate reports of their successfulness in other areas which would make it worth while? I mean REAL reports. With mention of the scheme to improve "pedestrian/cycling road safety" - excuse my ignorance but where is there any mention or suggestion that cyclists would be more safer on the roads? Also, "During 2007 a walking audit of this area was carried out by Southwark Living Streets together with council engineers..." are we not now in 2009? Surely this would make any study now seriously out of date? Yes, it's easy to say "it's always been like that" but how many residents (given numbers of newcomers in this space of time) can really say what it's "always been like" which could be used in a proper survey? In recent times in various surrounding areas plenty of traffic/road adjustments or road works have affected the area meaning more cars are using the roads (main and back streets). Has this been taken into consideration? What would the effects be to other areas in return? Yet more congestion and complaints I'm sure.

Can I watch?

I'm quite curious what the "experiment" is... I know a fair number of males who would gladly donate their bodies to science :))

If you're not as high tech as that and still use Paint to view/edit pics you can adjust the size of the pic by selecting "Image-stretch/skew" and resizing the horizontal and vertical stretch by 50 a couple of times then re-saving the pic. :)-D

Agree with the ignore button idea. It would be much easier than having to report nuisances to admin...

Sorry Admin I meant only to establish the type of ice we are dealing with - more dangerous on our ED roads as it can't be easily seen :))

now now Horsebox... what colour is the ice in question?

Macker I sometimes experience the same kind of thing on my mobile and not just through RSS but also general selection... Oh and the shortcut to end page doesn't exist anymore which is a costly nuisance. Just thought it worth mentioning.

You might want to rethink your journeying today... tis more slippy out this morn than yesterday :)-D

What to give up... hmmm... work! Oh sorry that's just wishful thinking :( *sighs and goes off to cry*

It's a thing "bots" do. Not necessarily to be annoying. Can sometimes be a glitch in their coding... obviously I'm meaning the harmless bots that test things... not the stupid ones that break things ;-)

Also be careful when leaving your house. garden paths are very slippery.
