Spartacus

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.

Agreed Billy, however a grass roots campaign organisation like one dulwich is only on your list of "fake news" because you can't identify the owner and you don't like what they say despite it being legit with a slight spin on it. Much in the same way that LCC says legit things with a spin on it! What do you want, Mr one dulwich to come out so you can attack the man or woman behind it and not their views ?

The point is Billy, that people don't have to know who is behind an organisation to repost their stories, and reposting them doesn't make them fake 🤫

I often post stories from the BBC news website, I have no idea who is in charge of the website or often who writes the articles. Does that make me fake ?

It's a good job they are replacing your blue box with a bin Bob, we all know a Citroen won't fit into a blue box for recycling (unless it's a 2cv )

BBC News - West Dulwich LTN: Residents make legal threat to Lambeth Council - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce8vzze2y7xo Hit the BBC news website today Love the quote from Lambeth Council's deputy leader councillor Rezina Chowdhury who says "we know these things work" as she forces an LTN trial on residents who clearly don't want it. From experiences of Southwatks "trials", they get modified and made permanent despite continued objections from residents.
