Depends on your interests, try going to clubs that line up with your interests or hobbies Maybe do some volunteering which introduces you to people As for a date, 1066 is always a favourite of mine 😅

I've just seen a post on nextdoor from the meeting which makes interesting reading. See the following screenshot I've removed the posters name.

I've also just done a trawl of your posts Mr C Rockets is stating the truth and the fact is that all the posts you have made under Mr Chicken are all, as Rockets states, in 4 threads all parking/car related. (Check your own posting history and see) Maybe you had an alto ego at one time (or still do) where other topics are posted to hence your posting confusion. To follow on from Rockets joke Why did the chicken cross the road? Because its liar liar pants were on fire 🤣

Maybe what we need is a Battle Royale here Pro CPZ on one side, Anti CPZ on the other and winner gets to decide if the area gets one or not. It's about as scientific an argument as Southwark's consultations 😅 On one side we can see Mr Chicken scratching in the dirt and ex putting their Council uniform to oneside to stop it getting mucky and on the other Rockets lighting fireworks and First Mate scoffing Spinach popeye stylie before battle commences. My money is on Rockets and First Mate winning as they have more to lose. Anyone going to the bookies fancy putting a bet on for me.

Either you are on the lookout for famous people all the time, Dulwich is a magnet for famous people or you're like the bloke in the chip shop who swears he's Elvis. 🤔

Sue, Over the henge?

Ex, you conveniently left out all the other taxes, that also go to the government and are granted to local authorities to spend on key projects like highway maintenance. Council tax alone doesn't cover the cost of running a council. Would love to see how loud Southwark squeal if they only got council taxes and think about other, less populated areas in the UK where it possibly costs more to collect Council Tax then it generates 🤔 Again you pulled walking out for tax exception, but you failed to mention cyclists, e scooter/ bike users, is that because you want to deflect the argument away from cyclists paying to use roads ? have you noticed that evs and electric are now starting to pay congestion charges? Something is giving already 🙄 As I said, there's room for all and demonising one group won't win anyone arguments so why not work together rather than trying to drive cars out so you feel smug in your lycra shorts 😉

I do love the way that when the pro lobby are asked a difficult question, rather than answering it, they go on the attack like Mr Chocken did earlier over the real practicality of cargo bikes. I also love the falicy that cars are stored for free on the streets, an average car generates a lot of taxes during its lifetime. VAT when it's first sold, year one and two VED, tax on fuel, parts, mechanics, Duty, MOT, congestion charge (where applicable), insurance premium tax parking charges (car parks, some places CPZ) fines for going into (for example) the new LTN areas, yellow boxes, bus lanes... and now ULEZs if they dare to be older then most people's toddlers. Do you wonder why people think it's a war on motorists? All this lovely tax helps maintain the roads for all. Yet a bike owner only pays vat on a new bike, parts and skimpy ultra tight lycra to show off their wad*, and that won't pay for the upkeep of the roads if motorised vehicles are removed. Let's be honest here, there's room on the road for all, some like or need a car, some like or need a bike, some like buses, some like walking and some use mobility aids so rather then making one category demons which will put their backs up, why not work together to have a shared ownership of public realm paid proportionally by all users? * wad of cash you smutty lot

I'm curious If you own a cargo bike but live in a flat where do you store it ? It obviously won't fit in the onstreet cycle storage units. It may not fit in your hallway or may block access for other flat owners if you put it in a shared hallway and you possibly may not have garden access. Therefore they seem to be really only suitable if you live a large enough house and maybe only viable for the richer part of the population rather than the masses.

Obviously being able to wield a sword efficiently is a sign of leadership, thus she could cut out the deadwood and some of the opposition. 😁

As a ploy to scrap the No. 12 bus route, the frequency was reduced from every 5 minutes to every 12 minutes about a year ago. The claim that covid had reduced passenger numbers was touted as a reason at the time. Now that the No. 12 is safe (for the time being) and (according to WHO) Covid is over, passenger numbers have started to steadily increase to a point where the infrequently of the No. 12 makes it crowded at most times of the day. Isn't it time for residents and councillors to campaign to TfL to increase the frequency of this much used bus route again ?

I can't wait to see how the anti drag Protesters are going to cope when the Rocky Horror Picture Show opens in London this month. I suspect they will have hissy fits 🤯

I don't care That's my "three word contribution" But Who else does What the funk And Extra bank holiday 😎

I'm afraid I can't I've already sworn allegiance to the Klingon empire, mash potatoes and my cat so I'm all alleged out.

Consultation here https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/nunheadcpz2022/ Absolutely nowhere to object to the proposal which IMHO makes it a flawed consultation and open to challenges. OObviously part of the master plan to nibble away at parking provisions until there is no areas without a CPZ regardless if its needed or not. Change org link also added https://chng.it/c4TPPyfgZd

Shock horror Is that any surprise to anyone with an ounce of brains. The council are short of money and rather than make their services run efficiently and trim poor practices they raise funds to support their inadequacy.

Does Nunhead need it ? I suspect not, so the cynical me has to ask why and what benefit it delivers to residents or the council. The latter I think is obvious, the former not so.

Can we open a book on which one it will be to comment first ?

Interesting point and true But there does appear to be a need to make changes to the junction coming from the Nunhead direction where traffic comes across in the middle of the road and often has to circumnavigate cars turning right from East Dulwich Road towards Forest Hill Why they can't make the center lane (from the Nunhead direction) right turn for buses and cycles only is beyond me.

😅

Why can I hear the jingle "wagamamas is coming to town" everything I see this thread (sang to the tune of Santa Claus is coming to town) 😀

Remind me not to go to any business you run Ken Do you also weigh down the scales with your fingers so the customer thinks they are getting more meat (weight) then they are, or substitute the type of meat you sold (Neigh I hear you cry) You sound one dodgy geezer mate

Of course, Billy, they could have been there to catch a poacher trapping wild game to fill his butcher shop with or using them to make pies to supply his cafe. 🤣
