  1. But isn't it the case that the Townley road restriction is not a school gate so that restriction is active all the time as far as I understand.
  2. The Cheese Block on Lordship Lane. Great variety of delicious cheeses at varied prices.
  3. A Southwark resident in a car can go with bags of rubble but a builders van usually needs to pay so your choice.
  4. The owner of the building? 🤷
  5. Malumbu just checking if you have red green colour blindness? And I'm not being rude or facetious. Because he is actually wearing a bright red T shirt and a patterned very visible helmet 👍
  6. It's a Guiana Chestnut/peanut (aka Money tree, Pachira glabra, Pachira aquatica. It's not happy ☹️
  7. What would be a really good idea is to have a sort of office with enough space to accept and sort parcels of the sort of volume required by new shopping practices 🤔 Oops! Forgot! We did have one in Sylvester road but Royal Mail shut it down and sold off the site. Doh!!! Would have been so useful to have now. At least the Lordship Lane Post Office is staying open for the moment. Phew! 🤞
  8. Does anyone insist that hi Viz is the answer? I think most people think lo Viz is just a bad idea if you are trying to look after your own safety. In the end you will never know how many people avoided death or injury by being more visible because you can't measure an incident that didn't happen. But some things just make sense like being careful, and visible however you are traveling and not using a mobile phone when driving (and also when cycling and crossing the road). And I'm glad you managed to avoid being hit by someone who was obviously driving dangerously and illegally.
  9. At the risk of starting another argument ☹️ here's an interesting summary of some of the last year's transport factors in London by Jim Waterson of London Centric. https://open.substack.com/pub/londoncentric/p/tfl-london-transport-trends-buses-slower-lime-bikes-driving?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

  10. When did dogs start needing clothes? 🤷
  11. There was investment in planting Plane trees in the last 25 years and in new paving in the sections shown in the photos but unfortunately the trees are growing so fast that they're damaging the pavements and the way the paving was laid makes water collect rather than drain away. It's such a disappointing shame and sadly it's getting worse as the trees grow bigger and bigger 😔.
  12. Perhaps you could raise the massive puddles in the pavement on the east side from Hansler Road to Whateley Road as I have found Highways have not acted at all in resolving these.
  13. And if they don't have their lights on at night they can be difficult to see too. Yes, if we're driving, cycling, walking we're all wise to see and be seen but if a person on a bike or in a car is all in black with no lights then they are difficult to see and once you've been hit and wiped out by whatever moving object it's too late to say it was someone else's responsibility to see me. But in the end it's up to the person in black with no lights how visible or not they wish to be.
  14. There does seem to be increasing use of an unofficial cycling get up which is black trousers, black jacket, black headgear (not usually a helmet) which makes cyclists and electric motorised cycle riders effectively invisible at night. For example, a number of cycling delivery drivers seem to choose this get up. It is their choice but it's a risky choice and a difficult one for a rational person to understand.
  15. Not sure advocating decapitation for an irritating to some TV presenter, counts as a bit of light relief. Pretty distasteful really ☹️
