  1. Full time job - Doris Day & Johnnie Ray
  2. Normally, they don't pick up passengers except at their usual stops. So the answer to that will be no - I think!
  3. Ever so lonely - Monsoon
  4. Save the last dance for me - Drifters
  5. Wild world - Jimmy Cliff
  6. I used to use Stansted but it is now such a pain (in the way other posters have described) that I too prefer to use Luton. You can go on the Thameslink door to door.
  7. Measure of a man - Sam & Mark
  8. davidk, well the bus drivers are under severe pressure to keep to timetables which means they may be/are driving in a manner dangerous to other road users - as in Barry Road? So an answer - as I have suggested - is to relax these pressures so that drivers are not constantly trying to keep to strict t-tables in London's busy traffic. You got any ideas then?
  9. Love Don't Live Here Anymore - Jimmy Nail
  10. According to tfl, 1,889 people were seriously injured or killed in five years (2008-13). This translates as 378 a year or 1.03 a day. Not unalarming figures I suggest, and many argue that TFL should be trying to reduce these. Easing up the pressure on drivers would be a good place to start, perhaps?
  11. Curmudgeon, the council were going to cut the lollipop people from that junction 4 or 5 years ago. A local campaign and demonstration successfully prevented that. I can't explain how you haven't registered their presence though!
  12. Stepping stone - Duffy
  13. Have a look at this article...see how pleasant our cities could be if they were more like Holland's http://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2015/oct/22/what-i-learnt-from-a-month-cycling-in-the-netherlands People think that Holland has always been people friendly (as opposed to car friendly!!) but the video in this article shows what its streets were like in the 70s - like ours today.
  14. Behind A Painted Smile - Isley brothers
  15. Left behind - Slipknot
  16. The village needs a pub. said malumbu I agree, but until the Dog reopens, Belair House is effectively a pub.
  17. Juliet (keep that in mind) - Thea Gilmore
  18. Open Your Mind 97 (remix) - Usura
  19. painful Pevara said I see - so in your mind, the side streets will be used for increased parking (bad enough) but won't consequently also become through routes from the same arterial roads where parking and traffic movement have been displaced? Fascinating. You should become a road planner - not. SIGH! Pevara, once again you are talking nonsense, putting words in my mouth etc etc. ALL I said was that parking might be displaced into quieter roads from the main roads. That was all. the rest is your invention, supposition etc. SIGH.
  20. Pevara, before you keep having a go at me please read what I actually said. I was talking about where cars might be PARKED when I mentioned side streets. Not that traffic should use them. SIGH!
  21. I agree about Lidl. Can never get all one wants there. Like the shop, but end up having to go to Sainsbos as well.
  22. Im not a zealot. Neither am I anti-car. I own one, after all. Just don't use it much except to drive away from London. I just think it would be lovely if we were able to cycle as freely as in many European cities. Children cycling to school. No Chelsea tractors belching out they poisonous diesel around the school streets, because parents see how safe it is for their kids to cycle. I am looking forward to the new fully segregated cycling facilities they're building in the centre, Elephant to Farringdon for example. Vehicles totally separated from cycles and pedestrians. It will be inspiring and encourage others to use their cars much less. I fear these Quietways are going to be a bit of a mess in Dulwich, sadly, probably because of the way they've been handled, putting people's backs up. It needs some leadership, vision, persuasion from our mayor. A great pity and a wasted opportunity.
  23. No, miko, if we take action NOW and make the correct decisions, we can prevent meltdown in the future and make London more like Copenhagen rather than the polluted hell that kills 9,500 per year. We can encourage people to do more cycling, walking then there needn't be pollution on the present scale. You seem to want to increase the number of deaths per year - why? I have never said there will be no cars - where did you get that from? Copenhagen has plenty of cars but it is a safe place to live, walk and cycle unlike London. The point is that in London you have to be brave to cycle, we need to make it easy and safe so that kids and older folks and all will feel able to take part.
