But how could you have checked if it was safe for you to turn without pulling out from the junction ?
Mrs R - a very similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago .
I was turning right into Dunstans Rd from Cornflower Terrace .Just after 9am .
Had to pull out into Dunstans because of parked vans on corner of Dunstans and Cornflower .
I was stationery and watched in horror as a scooter drove down Dunstans into my car .
My insurance are treating it as a dispute .Damage to bike ,hire of bike and injury are being claimed .
Dunstans is a longish perfectly straight road ,if you're driving down it there is good visibility.
Same for Friern Rd .
Sadly I need additional help to stick to 20mph on local roads .
I do have WAZE and see that I can have spped alerts turned on but presumably this would mean entering a route for each drive ?
Is there a better app that will track my speed and alert me when I'm getting close to the limit ?
Last week .So cheerful and kind .And almost made me feel like a normal person when trying to load ,single handedly ,large items into a car ,I'm clearly not !
Some time ago I was at the self service till in the LL Poundland and found myself without my bank card.
I was scrabbling to get the amount due in cash but was some 20 p short.
The manager came over and put his hand in his pocket to cover the cost .
Pretty helpful and nice in my book.
Oh go on Sue, I'm quite interested in hearing why The Cherry Tree gained your disapproval.
How about The Plough near junction of Lordship lane and Barry Road ?
I've just popped out (Wednesday) to post a card .Collection times listed as 9am.But the little metal plate indicates Friday as the next day for collection .
Are these metal plates accurate ? Or are they not changed ,maybe a faff to do so are left ?
That is sad. I much prefer to read papers as such and not digitally.
