Shame the tinsel-haired fool can?t be called what he actually is. Blackford?s hardly mistaken ! Everyone knows it, but ministers aren?t allowed to say it 🤔

Let?s Trade Neighbourhoods

Good work Foxy

So you can reduce traffic in a road by making it an LTN. But what about the other roads that have to soak up additional traffic which is trying to complete it's journey and cannot proceed through the LTNs - they see an increase (in some cases, substantial) in traffic. I'm not talking main arteries, they are chocka - it's other minor road routes that the displaced traffic now uses to try and make some progress. Weird logic and weird in actual practice. It's like sh*tting in someone else's backyard and proclaiming how clean your yard is now that you've built a fence around it, or, more accurately, throwing the sh*t into another neighbourhood and proclaiming how improved all the measurements you're making in your area are now. - "yeah the air's clean here, see it worked..". It feels like a small number of people felt they just had to take SOME kind of policy decision (and were obliged to some privileged people).

That?s a fair summary of situation on CP Rd actually 👍🏼 ed26 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Ha.

I wonder what the plan is for CP Rd, it?s used much more heavily since LTNs implemented, seems to be a short cut now for drivers not wanting to suffer LL congestion caused by traffic avoiding LTNs. I actually saw a passenger coach driving down today 😳

Enquiry

Having had a Gowlett?s Americano pizza 🍕 last night, with lashings of very spicy chilli oil slathered on top, I?ve a couple on the board already today. Just in case anyone?s been wondering.

Fully Responsible

Care to elaborate, Seabag ?

Yeah LL is carnage, also CP Rd was ridiculous. Possibly due to Dulwich Common (A205) traffic rerouting ?

I?m not sure anyone is saying cyclists are ?evil?. More, they?re commenting on the irritation of encountering cyclists on pavements. Just like other seemingly irresponsible behaviours such as dog owners not clearing up their dog?s poo, drivers speeding unnecessarily, not wearing masks in shops, etc.

I remember crossing the road at Aldgate, looking to my right (as you do, in the UK), stepping out as I saw a gap in the traffic. The THWACK I?m on the road, semi-conscious, being helped-up by passers by. Some fool was cycling the wrong way along the kerb at speed and I had no chance ! I always look both ways now !

Constipation - eat 2lbs ripe grapes. You?ll be shitting all week. Just sayin 💩🥊

Foxy - I?m off to dump again tomorrow morn, PM me if ya want any more stuff taken. Would need to be smallish stuff I?m afraid. KK

So RM are focussed only on the parcels which are tracked and therefore will feed data regarding completed delivery. Taking the pee big time.

What?s soooo complex about driving at 20mph max in Southwark ? Apart from speed cameras, there?s virtually no enforcement. Our streets could be much safer if people just honoured the limit.

I think also just wearing thermals and jumpers during colder periods helps reduce heating costs. Some households seem to want to be able to walk around in shorts and vests as if it was summer, during winter, which is unrealistic. Nowt wrong with feeling the actual season !
