I expect a lot of dog owners are not aware/bothered about the carbon footprint. But there again this applies to non-pet owners as humans are the main species responsible for global warming. To have a clearer conscience offset by sustainable and active transport, eat less meat and look for sustainable dog food. Ps I love dogs but never felt the need to own one in London https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/food-drink/shopping-guide/ethical-dog-food

In deed but we can also look at ourselves and reduce our meat consumption. Dogs unlike other carnivorous pets can have a vegetarian diet.

Safer Neighborhood Team. This sort of thing is nothing new.

I cycle up there. How else would I get to Sydenham Hill? Anyway as said this is a spoof thread.

https://sdp.org.uk/ The SDP seem like a lovely party. Why did you leave? A good alternative for those traditional Labour voters who don't like immigrants and are defecting to Reform

@Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out). But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things. Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs. But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.

How on earth can you condone driving down a bus lane when it is operation? Are you for real?

"going through red lights all day long without a care in the world and no respect for other road users or pedestrians alike. If a motor vehicle did the same day in day out a big fine and a ban would soon follow." A generalisation not a fact. Others may wish to discuss the topic. You have just posted a one sized fits all view, which suggests you are rather blinkered in your views. Most cyclists have respect for other road users. Most are also have driving licenses and virtually all are pedestrians as well. I suggest that you open your mind.

That's a rant not a discussion point. You sound rather angry. There are many great things about cycling. I'll say more about the subject when I get time. PS whilst this thread is about cyclists you brought drivers into the equation. Most drivers flout the rules, in particular the speed limit.

Stereotypes are based on actual real behaviours. They can be inappropriately applied to a whole group and can overstep the mark, potentially being offensive. But comments made on Corbyn and some of his followers are often accurate. That's not saying he didn't have some good policies, often picked up by the large parties, and is not principled. I saw him many years ago at an event celebrating Tony Benn where he was excellent. Perfect for a back bencher. The damage caused by his Brexit stance is difficult to reverse, even ignoring the vote and the outcome, there could have been cross party working and agreement of taking it forward. And being an apologist for Russia is just ridiculous.

It's not great that motorists that do wrong get away with it due to a technical loop hole, irrespective of the mistake in terms of the notice. If I strayed into a bus lane when I drive, pretty unlikely I know as (a) I rarely drive as there are better ways of getting across the metropolis (b) I am one of the few excellent drivers who is very aware of signage and the rules, I (as I did in the past when I didn't have such high standards) would take it on the chin and be more aware in future.

I assume that you are having a quiet work day and this thread is supposed to be amusing. Otherwise I'm totally lost.

That's a shame, drivers should not go into bus lanes when they are in operation and deserve to be fined. I assume that you are not against the principle of bus lane restrictions and enforcement of these. Not really an article decent people should be celebrating.

There is no compulsion to use the cycle Lane. Explain what you mean. If you mean the Advanced Stop Lane then that is advantageous for cyclists providing there is space (including the occasional motorist flouting the rules). Position in the road depends on the width of the road, parked cars and the like and in many occasions in urban areas cyclists should be in the centre of the lane. Many road users are ignorant of the Highway Code. Apart from some extra rules and guidance for cyclists, horse riders and pedestrians, and restrictions on some roads to motorised vehicles (eg motorways) the Highway Code does not distinguish between different road users. Better awareness and information for the masses is valuable rather than forgetting much of it once you have had training, passed the driving test and the like. I welcome your view that you are not bothered by cyclists and red lights if there are no cars (and by extension pedestrians at crossings) that is refreshing for this forum.

I reckon you're a fire starter. Said in good humour. On Googling to check I wasn't being offensive fire starter is an American term for fire lighter (as in a product to light a fire). And twisted fire starter is wood shavings dipped in wax. A flint can also be a fire starter, as was Keith Flint.

Spectacular. I've seen them in NW France but not here. All a bit quiet on the garden front this summer. Edited, I'm told they have also been spotted in SE23. There are some reports that due to climate change they may become resident in Britain.

Minor injuries are good, not sure where nearest is - Barts? But I recall they work office hours rather than 24/7. First time I went for suspected fracture it was film, but second time digital and much more joined up. Lewisham ED were pretty good, which is where I would now go. Depends on how busy they are Kings has more comprehensive facilities I understand.

I'm a model for a glossy international monthly magazine. You meet all sorts around here

@first mate @Penguin68 you have yet another thread to moan about cyclists. I'd be grateful if you didn't post here unless you had something constructive to say about cycle routes and improvements. For example how Greendale is a good example.

@Cancerian @Nigello Please go to another thread. This is a pro cycling one aimed at people who enjoy cycling and welcome the benefits. There are others where people who hate cyclists and blame them for all the ills in the world post. It's a bit sad when you feel the need to post here

Let them go bust. Enact emergency legislation to ensure that the water still flows and the rest of the network operates. Why should we care what happens to the investors. Have no idea could or would this work, and where next. And the workers will still be needed whoever runs the show.

Kings have a car park for dropping off and picking up patients. Other will know more https://www.kch.nhs.uk/patients-and-visitors/getting-to-kings/parking/

Thanks for the link. Broader conversation is that crime involving firearms has gone down, primarily because of the effective ban on fake guns. Downside is if someone does pull a gun on you it is unlikely to be fake. Lounge conversation

As tedious as some of the discussion is you have presented perfect evidence of why people should not trust, and certainly share, everything on line. This random website appears to rate all London streets as dangerous as crime in London is higher than the national average.

Why do you keep referring to those you don't agree with as active travel lobbyists? Do you see us marching on Whitehall or City Hall on a daily basis? Surely most agree with increased walking and cycling for personal and public health benefits. It's a no brainer. And it is a fact that a single occupancy motorised vehicle is not the most efficient means for short journeys. The polarisation of debate is not helpful.
