Try the castle upstairs, you'd need to buy a few drinks in return. @Suecan you advise? It will be in use some Mondays no doubt

Didn't study the works notice. So should be OKish Monday. Cheers. Gosh, just educated myself on SGN. Hadn't taken much notice of regional gas networks before. Not a lot on Wiki about them apart from a gas explosion at Thornton Heath

Calm down everyone as long as you have a license no age limit https://www.zipcar.com/en-gb/how-it-works/join?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21735659685&gclid=Cj0KCQjwxJvBBhDuARIsAGUgNfjQV8wo7CZNfLHnvLF603rnz38N5RiUjPeLXQJQMrVBOfB5aG1NekUaAh56EALw_wcB

I'm not complaining I am asking FHS.

Do you have a view or are you just saying things to be provocative? I expect the latter. The other roadworks have not bothered me as I can get round them on my bike, or on the odd occasion I need to drive time my journey accordingly and just sit in the traffic with a zen philosophical approach.

I just wanted to find out if this was one day or will be like this daily. And alerting others as a community service.

Changing the subject, to another favourite, traffic congestion. Southwark have conspired with British Gas to do some serious road works as you come into Peckham, lasting around 3 months I understand. To be serious - yesterday morning the whole area was gridlocked. I had to walk on the pavement for some of it. I've commuted on this route for a long time and never seen it so bad. Perhaps there was an accident or blockage elsewhere with a knock on effect. I'll be cycling that way next week so it would be good to know if Thursday was a one off. Thanks

I'm in bed by then so hadn't noticed😊

Yes probably rescan. If that doesn't work unplug telly, leave a minute, then turn it on. Whilst plugged in, there must be a miniscule current going in. This reboots it. You can factory reset it, worse case, going through menu, and then scan and reset at worst case.

Too many posts to read so will just say my main points. @Earl Aelfheah no the law doesn't say you have to have majority support @Penguin68 odd comment on NIMBYism . If I had people coming out of borough and using my street for parking, particularly common close to Honor Oak Station. Or using the road to park for school drop off often double yellows, zig zag, across drives*, I'd expect many would support a CPZ. I'd actually apply NIMBYism to those saying that they agree with measures that could discourage driving, unless it affects them.... *Credit to Lambeth and Southwark for having traffic wardens at school start and end. There is a primary school in Lewisham, who generally don't use wardens, that is one way, some parents get there to park really early before it becomes a school street, or reverse out the wrong way to avoid the camera. It's on the border of SE26/SE23 if you want to work it out. @Rockets congestion is dependent on many factors. We've discussed this on previous thread/s where some simple beliefs were debunked.

Heavens, you must have to excited to go to sleep last night. Sadly you are rather dismissive of anyone saying positive things about LTNs. Funnily enough Izzy's article repeats some of the lazy arguments others present on being 'forced' into driving - nonexistent buses (what???) and public transport being too expensive. We have the best public transport in the country and reasonably priced. I'd of course we wacking fuel duty up to subsidise public transport further but Starmer doesn't want to upset motorists paying historically low fuel prices. Just responding to the post above, are you going to champion every anti LTN campaign?

At least one - Shambala - does reduced price if you use the coach service which goes from major cities Glastonbury used to have a deal through National Express but that was before it went viral. You can still get combined coach and entry but not sure if there is any discount,

Easy to check if your car for ULEZ https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/check-your-vehicle/ Zip car does a flexible point to point option I usually cycle from a local station when going to festivals, I can get everything on my bike and stunned how much stuff some people take. I've stewarded at festivals in recent year. There are usually shuttles for those going on foot, many for example still get the train to Glastonbury.

Car club will be a better bet if you are an occasional user and hiring if you need to go further. I think once you take the plunge then you wonder why you didn't do it before Just checked minimum age 25 for zip car, no upper age limit

It had already been posted. We've already looked at it. Calm down.. I could find you Andrew Gilligan's opinion piece if you line.

General comment in response to the title - "Up your Arsenal" Sue I expect things have worsened since 2015, Labour veering to the right was not on the cards then.

Hmm, where did you get that from. The court judgment draws on silly 'war on woke' draft guidance under Sunak's last stand. If you made everything that the council did that was controversial subject to community agreement then nothing would get done. And this could be extended to national infrastructure such as pylons and wind farms. Very much the way Reform expects to do things. Do you agree with the Guardian on anything? Or are you Times or Telegraph, not sure how their respective politics differs.

It would be useful to have some perspective, it is silly to say that there are people who want to turn every road into a pedestrian crossing.

It's an opinion, I expect many opinions from the lay person are not balanced, and will generally be influenced how this affects you and/or friends and family. Although I am impressed with AI to date as generally it present both sides of the story without opinion, until it of course learns how my brain works and gives me the answer I want!

It's an opinion piece, the Guardian includes these even the article does not agree with the general views expressed by the paper. They had one praising LTNs, for example, by Andrew Gilligan

Thanks, it's good to have such a positive view 😊

Absolutely, another coalition was nailed on with the bookies, three big factors, Tories playing it very cute with constituents in marginal seats, LDs being punished for tuition fees and not pushing Tories harder, and Milliband's public persona in particular the right wing media. irrespective of unnecessary austerity the country would have been in a better place if there had been another coalition.

I expect that Earl, Ex and no doubt some others are pretty knowledgeable on the subject and take time to read up. I doubt if any of us work for Southwark, I don't and have no connections. I expect we are also keen to learn; whilst disappointed with one element of the JR I'm interested to see how this pans out. I don't think that this will affect other but we shall see. What bothers me when I get up in the morning? Exactly what I am seeing on the News at this moment (Palastine), other global conflict, the lurch to the right, climate change. Not closed roads and road user behaviour. That doesn't mean that I am not concerned about air quality, road safety and the like having worked in this field for more than a decade Of course the lurch to the right affects what happens at a local level.

En Root, 'plant powered Indian fusion' - description is more pretentious than this small chain, is wonderful. Cheap and relatively cheerful. Not sure if it has been reviewed by the Times @Eats Dulwich have you visited? https://enrootldn.co.uk/ Urbanspoon used to be a great place for reviews of cafes ('greasy spoons') but apparently not so good since it was taken over by Zomato Best Spoons in the area is Parkside Cafe on Forest Hill Road, from Uber Eats: Parkside Cafe, positioned in the charming area of East Dulwich in London, specialises in hearty breakfast and brunch offerings. It holds an impressive customer rating of 5.0, reflecting its popularity, particularly in the mornings. The cafe features a menu replete with traditional breakfast fares such as rolls (including varieties like Bacon and Egg Roll, Sausage Roll), burgers (such as the Chicken Fillet Burger and Cheese Burger), and a selection of sandwiches and baguettes. Popular items among patrons include Beans, Chips, Two Crusty Slices, and a Latte, with the Bacon and Egg Sandwich and Chicken Fillet Burger frequently ordered together. Surely AI is now starting to take over on restaurant reviews!

And referendums daft on a national level.
