I'm petrified every time I step out of the house! ::o

If you can't compare the US with the UK then what's the point of stating 'in areas of US allowing concealed carry of firearms, there has been noticable reduction in crimes of violence against the person.'. This implies that it would have the same effect in the UK. But as you just stated, one shouldn't do that. In fact, even if your'e correct that introducing handguns led to a reduction in crimes of violence in the USA, indtroducing handguns in the UK could lead to the opposite because it is 'a culturally ethnically and geographically different region'. Ergo, there was no reason for your initial post.

This must be the highly acclaimed study conducted by the NRA.

Sorry, it was just an idea. I never actually went to the gym or met the lady. I think people who took her classes at the gym could possibly arrange a whip-round or a charity gym day or something?

true, sorry urban.

How is ED better than its surrounding areas? Let's see. It's got some woods. It's got a nice park. It's got Horniman Museum and a wonderful gallery. It's got a pretty good high street and a village area. It's got a world famous and picturesque college. It has lower crime than the surrounding areas. It's got Beauberry House surrounded by fields. All of this and most of it is in Zone 2. How's that for starters?

I think maybe we can all join together and raise some money for her daughters? Just a thought...

In my opinion, Kew is btter than East Dulwich! ::o::o::o

hmmm, do I detect some middle-class guilt here..? ::o

This is very sad indeed. You couldn't pay me enough to ride a bike on London's streets with all of the nutter drivers around.

Ne'er a truer word spoken.

Understand, but that means there are only about 15 to 20 yards to nip into the lane turning left, meaning that you're holding up all the traffic going straight on. Also, you'll find that people go up the inside lane (i.e. they break the law)and you have to cut into them. It's daft!

I don't understand the bus lane there. I mean, when you approach from ED station, when exactly are you allowed to pull in to turn left into Sainsburys? The only option appears to be at the last minute (i.e. about 15 yards before turning), but then you get people who just drive up it meaning you have to 'push in' and are thus waiting and obstructing traffic going straight on. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL!!!!

Piers? I like him! A finer more upstanding man in the community you'd be hard pressed to find.

Yep, the lights are out, but the traffic is flowing MUCH better than it usually does... :))

in this in England somewhere?

I vote for the tardis idea..

if I had checked an extra shape under my tarpaulin and found a dalek, I'd probably have had a heart attack!
