Bellenden Road gridlock - bridge replacement
flocker spotter replied to ed_pete's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
That is a poor and lazy response from Network Rail. A temporary change from one way to two way on Lyndhurst with accompanying traffic lights to reduce likelihood of collision would make much more sense. -
granted , the OKR is a wasteland for pubs compared to its heyday decades ago - but you mention the heaton- there are still more places to drink in the rye lane area than ever before. and some of them are still crap if that is your bag

Kings OTR was terrible TBH. when the taxi office next door had a sign up saying *no drug runs* you knew this was a bad place

the pub / history issue is a bit moot - there is no harm in wanting the location to be used properly but weak historical justification isn't helpful. Its a terrible, dirty polluted location, potentially dangerous for pedestrians to access with the present layout and subject to the whims of the landowner - what realistically could be built there that would provide benefit?

Why is the building important ? half of London is 1920s stock. I fail to see why the site is any more important that any other long established road junction in the manor. There are more bars and cafes serving alcohol on LL than at any time I can remember since the late 80s. Can anyone provide a cognisant argument for its rehabilitation as F&D outlet ?
-
I think you good folk of ED need a refresher on what is worth of consideration as a place of historical interest. A pub from the 1920s that Thatcher may have driven past really doesn't make the grade, however you spin it. it died out as it is in a terrible location and cannot economically justify being a food and drink outlet - no one with any sense would trek up to this polluted wasteland for a night out.
-
hardly a place of note is it?

With what gender did the lorry driver identify with? -
not a useful comparison of anything apart from how larger, less densely populated countries likely to have more trees

Public transport work is usually for the greater benefit of society. a little disruption may inconvenience the average driver for a short period, but this isn't the end of the world is it ? -

flocker spotter replied to TheCat's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
to be fair though, the fewer audi drivers on the roads, the better for humanity -
I would be surprised if a builder would quote on this unless he has understanding of the structure of the existing dormer construction - have you had an engineers reports done ?

get them waggons into a circle boys.

No one in the tory party wants May to jump ship unless she can carry the baggage of brexit with her. she is a useful idiot until she is no longer required. The raison d'etre behind brexit is not about change,it never was, it is about the continuity, consolidation and affirmation of what already exist.

Burglary on Whateley Rd last night (7th/8th May)
flocker spotter replied to Gesundheit's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
It is standard practice to get your locks replaced. We were missing a bundle of keys after a burglary and had a bit of a tussle with the insurers on the day of discovery but finally got them to agree for the entire external locking setup to be replaced with Banhams gear. Always worth pushing to see if they will do this -
thanks for the heads up OP - its a shame these things have to be posted up on a local MB. It is also a shame that your post has spun off into a petty bicker thread. Again
