Spartacus

Love this if it is true from Southwark news concerning the stones used in vanity square https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/ltn-hailed-as-eco-friendly-using-indian-stones-quarried-5000-miles-away/

Possibly best to contact the police and give a full description of the incident so that if the victim reports it they can tie your report to bit and hopefully catch the perpetrators. However a good warning for parents to thier children that this has occurred in the area and to keep their phones hidden when walking around.

Lol Mal It's in Southwark news so everyone can see it, no digging required unlike your attempt to discredit me for posting it. The relationship to East Dulwich is simple. James McCash, in charge of transport policy, made a mistake and maybe we need to do more scrutiny of his actions to make sure other, local, schemes are legal 😉

Love this story in the Southwark News. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/rotherhithe/exclusive-bus-lane-on-lower-road-that-catches-out-thousands-of-drivers-is-fake/ McCash must be a little red faced now

Isn't a dark, moody interior the ideal cocktail bar and if that prejudiced you from going in to try the food, which is excellent buy the way, then sadly your loss. Maybe try it first before dismissing it due to the intimate atmosphere 🤔

So why the big fuss about making cyclists adhere to speed limit? At least have a dog in the fight if you are going to bark like that!

Hen hen hen Let's not turn this into a rant against motorists in an attempt to deflect the fact that cyclists just don't follow the rules and don't want to be brought into line. Your response shows the typical cyclist arrogant view that they shouldn't be legislated against because car drivers are atill adjusting to the new speed limits, most of which have only just been introduced. If that's your sole argument for why cyclists shouldn't adhere to speed limits then frankly it's pathetically thin and bullturd.

Of course you have that view It's interfering with the view that cyclists are somehow "special" and above the law Obviously you are stuck in the 70s as modern penny farthings are more than capable of speeds in excess of 20mph and cyclists use apps like Strava which uses GPS to show route and speeds, so hardly not practical, just inconvenient for people who don't give a shimano.....

Guess this could be a good thing London royal Parks demand 20mph speed limit for cyclists. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/royal-parks-london-speed-limit-cyclists-accidents-b1188932.html personally I believe that before 20mph limits wete introduced, cyclists rarely exceeded the national speed limits, hence why they weren't considered as speeding, yet now everyone else is reduced to 20mph it's about time that it applied to all road users. Can't wait to hear the deniers cry that cyclists are special and cycling is sustainable, which has nothing whatsoever to do with speed.

There's pexmas in Peckham 14th and 15th December which is a good shopping event. The so last century christmas vintage market https://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk/whats-on/festive-events/2024/december/so-last-centurys-christmas-vintage-market/ Not sure if the East Dulwich Christmas Cracker is occurring this year, someone might be able to advise on that. But i hope it is

But NewWave, don't you know that pubs, cafes and resturants are the new kindergartens where staff are only there to deal with the fallout of parents letting go of the reins! Get with the program please 😅

They let well behaved dogs in

I got in a black cab the other day and he refused to take me His excuse was he didn't go South of the Dulwich😅

u

I sometimes feel, and it's only a feeling not based on fact or evidence, but is earl secretly Malumbu with his deflection tricks ? 🤔

Saw this online Maybe Emma Royds can up her game

Mal, I'm simply pointing out that you take ever opportunity to bash cars and drivers and yet here again you display double standards when someone points out that all road users need to follow the rules. This thread was about a loading bay and it's use yet you single handedly hijacked it for for your own purposes. You winge and complain about multiple threads on the same topic but here you demonstrate beautifully that you are a one trick pony.

I guess the same applies for all road users Mal, even cyclists who may pass a basic test when they are at school. Now if you had a programme of random retesting 90 percent plus would fail. Poor observations, poor signalling, poor positioning, poor anticipation, jumping red lights, cycling on the pavement, not using lights. The cloth cuts two ways 😅

Bit radical Mal, why not go the whole hog and make them wear lycra suits with arrows on to show them up as thw criminals they are ?

Shouldn't this survey be open for all streets so that persistant bin laden streets can be targeted ?

The assumption is that crime is reported. Unless it is, it won't appear on a crime map. Whilst in an area crime possibly is rife, if its not reported there are no official stats. An additional downside is that the Met use the reported crime stats to justify resource deployment and funding for more officers. If there is low reporting then there is a low priority on the resource pool.

What are you smoking in your pipe sir, and did you buy it from.a suspicious character?

When Rye Lane was closed to traffic, there was a marked increase in crime and anti social behaviour (one element that remains is the graffiti all over the lane) Much of this increase wasn't reported to the police as it was considered 'pointless' by the public due to lack of police numbers and ability to respond. As a result there was only a mild uplift in Crime figures despite increases in muggings, asb, drugs and shoplifting that was observed. So a claim of more suspicious behaviour might well have justification as an issue or new trend.
