  1. 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 ?
  2. 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 )
  3. 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.
  4. Fascinating A pedestrian starts a thread about bad cyclists jumping a red light and the cyclists jump on it to say how bad car drivers are Malumbu, you are so often the one starting the them and us rethoric rather than accepting there are bad riad users in both categories.
  5. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/09/28/labour-council-taken-to-court-over-flawed-ltn-plan/
  6. Southwark have decided to no longer supply or support the use of the smaller blue boxes for recycling https://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/recycling/your-recycling-containers Fot those of you that currently use a blue box, it will be removed and a large blue bin will replace it. A lot of people use the blue boxes to avoid cluttering their gardens or the street so whilst I understand their health and safety reason, it's going to potentially lead to more clutter on bin day or more bins left on streets as there is no room in properties.
  7. Just came across this on Instagram, made me smile but his pount does have merits as air moves all the time do clean air can get replaced by someone else's pollution, possibly from the other side of the world 😅 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-qGR7oMEfo/?igsh=ejh4MDg0bndoMnk5
  8. Obviously you don't cross the road when cyclists ignore red lights (one heck of a lot more than the odd car) or walk down pavements when cyclists use it to get around traffic. In my experience it is the majority not the minority who break the rules I'm sure it's the same experience for a lot of pedestrians, hence why there is so much anger towards them. If you think differently then I suggest you should have gone to specsavers to remove the rose tint from your old glasses. 😅
  9. Dear Earl The issue is not a few cyclists giving the majority a bad rep, but what appears the majority giving the few good ones a bad rep by their overall behaviour The example you quote of muggings and pedestrians would be equitable only if 80% (estimate) of pedestrians were mugging people. If that was indeed the case we would be 100% cracking down on those committing anti social or illegal behaviour, same way we should be doing it for cyclists flouting or breaking the rules. After all what's good for the goose....
  10. Love the tenuous way you try to lump motorists in with covid deniers As with any two groups of people (as viewed as a Venn diagram) some will fall into each group and a small minority will fall into both. You must try harder 3/10
  11. I vividly remember being driven through the park from the village side to the south circular circa 1980 /1981 it wasn't a rat run bit was used by cars who wanted a scenic drive Not sure whwn that was stopped but it was akin to driving through Richmond park
  12. B84F0328658FAEFA822BF5D7BBF961B1_video_dashinit.mp4 I say nothing 🤣
  13. I suspect it is down to the way people see cyclists constantly breaking the law, if they followed the rules, respected pedestrians and stopped at crossings, then I believe there would be less anti cyclest rethoric .
  14. Not quite pure lime but https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/09/24/food-delivery-rider-caught-riding-illegal-ebikes-death-trap/ Police are reporting a doubling of illegally modified eBikes siezed in the past year (this is only the tip of the iceberg i fear)
  15. I guess that depends on how many ways the pips of motorists can be squeezed 😅
  16. Sadly, despite the government ignoring it and not reporting on cases, covid hasn't gone away l
  17. Ahhh the good old days It was akin to driving through Richmond park, only not so grand. Still it's a good thing it's just a park now where people can gather, sit, relax and enjoy coffee. Much nicer than being next to a smelly road or converted junction in my opinion.
  18. Let's not forget the weight of buses and lorries, which are normally the main culprits in road damage and cracked pipes as the substrate layers can't cope.
  19. Have the council members been replaced by the lizard People AGAIN? Oh my, we all need tin foil hats now to stop the radio signeks being picked up by our fillings
  20. @Earl Aelfheah @Dogkennelhillbilly lets see if it is a minority by requesting a proper referendum in the local area as per my earlier post. If, as you seem to imply, that the majority support the square, then threads like this will close as a result. Dare you risk it?
  21. Blimey Billy I never took.you as part of the tin foil hats brigade
  22. And when there's an accident on the south circular, then there's gridlock in the area creating more pollution. But I take it from your reaction that you are not confident that putting the question to the vote will go in favour of the square....
  23. Simple solution Billy Let's have a referendum vote locally on a single issue Keep the square or reopen the junction. No politics involved as its then not about Labour or Tory supporters. Only locally registered people (addresses within a mile of the square to allow those who need to use it have their say) and the results are binding to the council. Then we can finally see if it really is, as you claim, a minority voice! Are you up for it or scared of the results ?
  24. Laughing at the sales pitch It has keypad entry and you can operate it from an app if you want to let your cleaner or nanny in. If you've just spent 2.2 million, can you afford a cleaner and a nanny or will the mortgage to huge to afford both?
  25. Question. Has the social media experiment failed ? Most of the time it is not social. Most of the time it is not media in the traditional sense. Children can feel peer pressure because of it. (as can adults.) Does it enrich or blight our lives ? Discuss.
