A cycle store has arrived at the end of Thorncombe Road near the junction with Hillsboro?. I haven?t seen these anywhere else in ED ? has anyone else ?

We have an AEG condensor. Probably common sense but the only things I would say is buy the most energy efficient you can if you intend to use it a lot as they eat electricity. Secondly buy the best brand you can (Miele/AEG) afford for the sake of reliability.

Jazz. Pretty much all sh1te. Especially that Miles Davis fella.

There is also a banner on the railings of the gardens at the junction of Bellenden and Highshore near the mini roundabout.

No - there's a noticeboard on the route somewhere that I saw and then checked out the Southwark website.

I huge thank you to the cyclist that found and returned my wallet that had dropped from my bike pannier on Monday. Please do get in touch if you read this.

You wanted the convenience of parking close to the post office rather than parking further away and walking. That's a privilege you have to pay for. Tough.

If you can afford to run a car then you can afford the cost of motoring regardless of your age. You have broken the law. Pay up.

A beta version of the EDF on a new platform was posted about last year. Is this still on the cards and if so is there a timescale ?

OK - I'll have to agree to differ with those that feel it is unsafe for cyclists. As I said above I use this route most days in each direction and never have a problem with the speed of other vehicles - there are a number of quite vicious speed humps to slow the traffic down. I think the issue should be tackled differently in this instance. Realistically it's never going to be the case that all of London's roads have dedicated cycle paths so that you can get from A to B without avoiding vehicular traffic. I would prefer that money was put into training new or nervous cyclists to ride safely and confidently on the existing road infrastructure. I know that schemes already exist for this but they should be given more investment and more publicity. How about having "cycle leaders" on popular routes. They could be used to lead groups of less confident cyclists on a route into and out of town, maybe for a week or two by which time I think one should be ready to go it alone. I am not against changing the road infrastructure to make cycling safer just that in this instance I think the money could be better spent.

Those times are not particularly useful for those people that work 9-5 Mon-Fri. Could you look to providing this service in the evening or at a weekend ?

I don't think the agenda is hidden. The Mayor's (BJ) transport strategy is to get people walking and cycling more and the Council is obliged to have transport strategy that supports this. However in this instance, speaking as an experienced cyclist I agree there is no need for change. Whether the changes would encourage more people to walk and cycle, the cynic in me very much doubts.

I saw Billy Bragg (and many others) there years ago. Iconic venue. Must be saved. Petition signed.

Southwark are consulting on changes to the road layout around Bellenden Road, the intentions of which are (to quote Southwark) Promote Bellenden Road as the quieter route for cycling and walking in line with the Council?s adopted cycling strategy (Southwark Spine). Improve conditions for walking and access to green spaces. Improve safety at junctions for all road users. The consultation is open until 16th January 2016 should you wish to comment. https://consultations.southwark.gov.uk/environment-leisure/cyclingandwalkingimprovements/consult_view For what it's worth, I use this route as a cyclist most working days and although I can see that the proposed changes would make it better for cyclists I really don't think it's that bad at present and I think the changes unnecessary.

Usual rhetoric without evidence. However I am glad that Charles has highlighted the consultation on the changes to Bellenden Road / Holly Grove etc for which I will start a separate thread.

A second the mince pies from Blackbird. Small, light pastry with a crumble topping. Citrusy notes in the filling.

So Louisa - is this good or bad for Lordship Lane in your opinion ? If it turns out to be true then this would surely be the result of the gentrification you so often decry.

Probably one for the irrational rage thread but why has "ELO" been rebranded "Jeff Lynne's ELO" ?
