Ought to crush the damn things!!!

Not as simple as that. If there are 4-5 of them dumped in one place, it's probably not renters but Lime's own operatives that have left them there. As far as I can see, they're flinging them out of a van a few of a time. I have seen them dumped right on the bobbled flagstones of zebra crossing etc. This is a problem created by the rental companies. What do you think actually happens if you call that number to complain about badly parked bikes? Did that just yesterday and following regular postings about the issue and calling the number the bike was removed, job done, success.

It's the selfish, thoughtless, dumb, inconsiderate morons that use these bikes and leave them in the most inconvenient places who need prosecuting. If you use one of these bikes, don't just dump it and leave it up so someone else has to get the bike moved because you are a selfish moron and sort out your mess because you are a lazy so and so. These bikes which cause or create an obstruction should be crushed." Lime bikes Contact number 0800 808 5223

They can howl to their hearts content, reducing Nat Ins is a start, but not the long term solution. Problem's which need resolving are; i) cost of living crisis ii) domestic fuel energy crisis iii) spiralling rate of inflation NHS vi) deal with Europe v) deal with Brexit fallout vi) sort out the NI divide down the Irish Sea viii) deal with Scotland viiii) keep the UK together and no break up. The UK is going backwards, as a reminder the first and main role of Government is to protect it's citizen's. Truss needs to communicate, communicate and communicate with the electorate, explaining how her Govt are going to deal and combat i) - viiii) in both the short and long term and what the consequences of these measures will be on us in the UK.

nah, it will continue to do what James "gob on a stick" O'Brien has been doing, slagging off Boris ( and yes he was a sleaze bag who should have gone much, much earlier) and has left UK Plc in a worse position than when he became PM, and Liz Truss who will no doubt get the same treatment as O'Brien already started dishing out several week ago. The continual slagging off actually becomes boring, like the needle got stuck on the record.

UK should have done what the Far East did, buying huge amounts at a fixed cost, yet again late to the party because for the last 10+ weeks we've had no Government as such, a bloody disgrace, they need a piece dynamite shoved somewhere to make them (and I mean cross party) wake the hell up and start taking this cost of living and domestic fuel crisis SERIOUSLY.......

The contractors have worked swiftly to resurface Brenchley Gardens from the Forest Hill Road end, so well done guys.

Whilst traffic may divert onto Underhill which over the past 12-18months has seen increased traffic flows already, the other side of Langton Rise and Westwood Park and the other connecting roads will also see increased traffic flows. Those that lose are local residents, yet again.

Rather than closure, probably temp traffic lights as they previously did when creating the bottle neck slow down points.

Wasn't aware of the plans previously, so this is all somewhat surprising. Agree with you about leadership from Central Govt, but also their needs to be stronger communication, consultation, engagement, action and leadership from Local Govt, with cross borough and Party working. While I can appreciate that traffic volumes on Woodvale would ideally want reducing, it is one of several main thoroughfare's from Forest Hill Road to Lordship Lane and the South Circular, with a significant bus connecting route. As LTN's have shown, when you block/reduce traffic from one road or sets of roads it diverts onto the nearest roads as alternative routes, which was more than adequately demonstrated with the recent closure of both Honor Oak Road and Woodvale simultaneously pushing traffic through the "horniman heights", Langton Rise, Canonbie, Westwood Park making them into 24hr "speed tracks". Love the description of Honor Oak road as "a farm track with a primary school on it" No arguments from me, rather the opposite and total agreement. To add further misery, from 30th August, Brenchley Gardens is to be resurfaced, so expect further traffic congestion, chaos and inconvenience for those living on adjacent roads and just before schools return. The planning of these works could not be at a worse time. If you think back only a few weeks ago, the pavement width extending works caused enough disruption then. Do those in charge have no understanding of the misery they inadvertently cause residents?? And YES, Brenchley Gardens is well past it sell by date for being resurfaced, so while I agree the works need doing the timing could not be worse, given the disruption already experienced earlier. How about some joined up thinking from Highways, but that's wishful thinking..................

Thanks for uploading the drawings. Replicating what was done on Ivydale Road. The consequences will be; i) queuing traffic, more pollution ii) longer journey times iii) extended times for bus travel iv) more opportunities for accidents with vehicles jumping the "priority waiting places" And v) traffic diverting to Underhill Road and Westwood Park. to get onto the South Circular. Plus Melford Road is one way to Lordship Lane. Chaos will ensue.....

Just been reported in the last hour or so, Darius Campbell Danesh: Pop Idol and West End star dies aged 41. Way to young to die at that age.

Frankly, I don't care, you just rile people for an argument and are reminiscent of a school bully so why not just do one.

It is with deep sadness that the death of Lamont Dozier on 8th August 2022 has been reported. He was 81. Song writer, Producer and Artist. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-62474956 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/aug/09/lamont-dozier-motown-songwriter-dies-age-81#:~:text=Lamont%20Dozier%2C%20the%20Motown%20legend,has%20been%20released%20as%20yet.

Agreed, its farcical that passengers have to almost beg to keep the buses running through Rye Lane. Remind me again what TfL state, oh that's it, "every journey matters" Additional and just for the record; P12 still on diversion, and as it has been for at least two if not the last three weeks as Ivydale Road remains closed due to another Thames Water repair, yawn, yawn, yawn. P13 on diversion Again as Underhill Road is closed, no reason why though. P4 on diversion as Honor Oak Road is apparently closed towards Lewisham due to "safety reasons" via Brockley Rise. What safety reasons? Traffic diverting through Horniman Heights which are being used as a short cut by many..... And every journey matters, REALLY! Why not make the lives of those who use buses even harder than they have to be........

I stand corrected, yes the You Tube links seem to have vanished.

Mark, we've lost all the you tube links for each track that was uploaded

Who are you to tell me "to stop using or viewing it rather then complaining. I bet you still are holding on to an old xp version PC because you didn't like Windows Vista :)" Yeah, you make all the assumptions you like (but which are incorrect). This is a public forum, I have expressed an opinion which I am entitled to do so If you don't like or agree with my comment I really don't care.

Disappointing format, cumbersome, slower than previous version Sometimes simple is best. Shame that 20+ days worth of posts have been "lost" Going home for the weekend thread not working. Some warning that this was going to happen over the weekend would have been nice.

MFSB - "Mysteries of the world" (12 Inch Version) Gladys Knight and the Pips, "Love is always on your mind" (12 Inch version)

Another weekend looms, so what better way to go on and what is likely to be the hottest day of the year so far, but to begin with some more "Going home for the weekend" tunes. First up is; Delegation, "Put a little love on me" Followed very swiftly by this little ditty of a tune I came across; Bobby Womack, "It's party time" Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Bust'in hard, bust'in lose with a couple of more tunes from the box. Eddie Russ - Zaius Gene Chandler, "Love is the answer"
