Quite right, I apologize for falling for the baiting of a troll. -

Nice. You're not really doing yourself any favours in terms of making yourself not look a poisonous spiteful sad little individual, you know. -

Ah, such sophisticated argument. Well done. Top grammar too. -

For starters if he's at Denmark Hill station he isn't in Dulwich, he's in Camberwell, so that's your main point out the window. Secondly, I know a US veteran who lives in East Dulwich - he's happily married and settled, but if, heaven forfend, he developed mental health issues or in some other way found himself on the streets, why wouldn't he stay around here? I have no idea if this guy's genuine or not, but your cynicism reflects little credit on you. -
It's going to be about how Brexit's going but nobody's sure what attitude she's going to show - some think she may use it to reassure Tory hardliners worried she's slipping, others suspect she's going to offer a conciliatory attitude to the EU. We shall see.

For many former colonial countries, all those images you mention (except maybe the Beefeaters) are intimately associated with violence, no adornment needed. There are even seventeenth/eighteenth century verses about the lion (England) and the unicorn (Scotland) beating each other up for supremacy! -

Ooh, be careful - last time I suggested that I might care as much about children in Syria despite not being a parent I got well and truly hauled over the coals! -

Slaughtered battery hens are often sold for stock, soup and other processed applications, so even if you've gone out of your way to ensure your chicken was free range organic, are you as sure about your stock cube? Anyway, I don't eat eggs either.

This chap's got a gun and there's a big explosion, is this poster promoting violence and does it send a bad message to the community? -
If you can afford it, you love it, you're going to be there for a good time, go for it! We bought our second flat last year and adore it - don't regard it as an investment at all, it's just somewhere we love to live and can afford. Good luck!

Yes of course the other roads will be experiencing heavier traffic, we were discussing Camberwell Grove itself, where in my experience the traffic is much lighter than it was before. -

Sorry Charles that's nonsense, I ride up and down CG most days and the traffic has decreased massively, both up and down (from DKH to Camberwell and back) I usually get to ride in the middle of the road as I'm often the only vehicle in sight. I have no axe to grind as to whether the bridge should be reopened or not, but traffic has indisputably diminished since it was closed. I do agree it was safe for cycling before. -

So it's not really clear if > they should prefer parks, or try to avoid them. It's interesting, I often use Quietway One, or part of it anyway, to run down to Greenwich. Just after The Den the route runs through Folkestone Gardens on a narrow (six foot) path, never any problem at all, walkers always courteous (as am I, I hope!). One would have thought with the former two-lane road running through Dulwich Park it wouldn't be too difficult to have a cycle route. However, when I first joined the EDF I suggested that the road in DP be divided, half for cyclists and half for walkers, and got about ten pages of vitriolic abuse, so perhaps I'd better keep quiet! -
Haven't been in for many a year but the Commercial in Herne Hill used to be mobile free. Thoroughly to be encouraged, particularly to stop those who continue their conversation while giving their order - sure they'd soon complain if the bar staff were as rude!

Was no consideration ever given to running the Quietway through the park? When coming back from Crystal Palace with Mrs.H, who doesn't like heavy traffic, we go into the park through the College Road entrance, out through the Court Lane gate, up Dovercourt, down Woodwarde and so onto Calton that way. Wouldn't that have made more sense? Problems keeping the park open at night I suppose. -

Sorry Robin, don't know what it would do to traffic flow but having to get right, hug a roundabout to the right with traffic entering from the left (most drivers do not appear to think "give priority to traffic from the right" applies if it's only a bicycle) then immediately join another roundabout with the same again would definitely not be a good solution for cyclists. Personally I don't really find the junction as it stands much of a problem on a bike (though I am big, fast, confident and experienced), but that "solution" is a recipe for disaster for cyclists. ETA Looking at that model again, it appears only to address what would be best for traffic (i.e. motorized vehicle) flow with no consideration of cycle safety. -

You're driving a car and complaining about the fumes. Brilliant.
