East Dulwich station is..."C tier"? 😥
CPR Dave replied to Dogkennelhillbilly's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I think it's good to be understated. We don't want anyone and everyone finding out how special our station is, let alone how awesome the rest of this area is. Best to fly under the radar and be one of the world's best kept secrets in my opinion. -
One of our local councillors has hit the big time
CPR Dave replied to CPR Dave's topic in Roads & Transport
Can't drive through them, can't park on them etc. -
Agree with the general sentiment above. Me and all my friends have all had bad cold recently. Like others I suspect it's either covid 19 or rsv or another coronavirus. I don't think it's flu or bird flu luckily. Also thanking the good Lord it isn't a winter vomiting bug!!

Walking route from East Dulwich to Catford?
CPR Dave replied to tomskip's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I cycled that way recently (actually went on to the Perry Vale industrial estate) and went through Peckham Rye / Nunhead / Crofton Park / Ladywell Fields. It brings you out by Catford Bridge station. It was quite residential and quite pleasant. You could make it greener on foot going through Camberwell New Cemetery rather than Nunhead -

southwark to be given up to 10 million to improve buses
CPR Dave replied to Spartacus's topic in Roads & Transport
You ignore the fact that passengers have to get off and wait another 5.9 minutes for the next bus. Might as well just have buses that go further at longer intervals. Perfect efficiency for bus routes isn't a more noble aim than the convenience of passengers using buses. And none of the suggestions I made would result in a bus route doubling from 1 hour to two hours. -

Yes, because fewer people use them. They'll just get in their cars instead. -
Lol, could you possibly be any more pompous??

Reminds of Toast ED. I miss that place. I've not been into the bakery that replaced it which for some reason doesn't appeal. It seems to be doing well though. Definitely not toast too.

CPR Dave replied to Spartacus's topic in Roads & Transport
Extending those routes would cost about £450k per annum per route initially. So £10m would pay for it for 7 or so years, by which time the extensions might pay for themselves by being more useful. -

Would rather they spent on there being more buses going to more useful places. Put the 40 back to the London Bridge route and extend it up to Islington. Have a bus that goes down Lordship Lane and turns right on to the South Circular towards Clapham. Extend the 176 up to Regent's Park. Extend the 185 up to Sloane Square. F**k tinkering around the edges with bus lanes and shelters - get some proper changes made with bus routes for the people. -
The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?
CPR Dave replied to malumbu's topic in The Lounge
Exactly the point!!! -
the 1.8 million unemployed Brits could do the work that Brits won't do. Make minimum wage higher than the maximum benefits payments. So it's more profitable to be in work than it is to be unemployed. anyway, round 2 today of Labour's attack on immigration. This one is reminiscent of their "hostile environment" that Liam Byrne created in 2007.

He's always been clear he'd rather be elsewhere than Westminster: https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2024/06/18/starmer-davos-interview/ "Westminster is too constrained. It’s closed and we’re not having meaning. Once you get out of Westminster whether it’s Davos or anywhere else, you actually engage with people that you can see working with in the future. Westminster is just a tribal shouting place." That's who he is.

These are the times he used the word "fight", in context. And Rudy [Giuliani], you did a great job. He’s got guts. You know what? He’s got guts, unlike a lot of people in the Republican Party. He’s got guts. He fights. He fights, and I’ll tell you. ... For years, Democrats have gotten away with election fraud and weak Republicans, and that’s what they are. There’s so many weak Republicans. We have great ones, Jim Jordan, and some of these guys. They’re out there fighting. The House guys are fighting, but it’s incredible. ... Did you see the other day where Joe Biden said, “I want to get rid of the America First policy”? What’s that all about, get rid of -- how do you say, “I want to get rid of America First”? Even if you’re going to do it, don’t talk about it, right? Unbelievable, what we have to go through, what we have to go through, and you have to get your people to fight. And if they don’t fight, we have to primary the hell out of the ones that don’t fight. You primary them. We’re going to let you know who they are. I can already tell you, frankly. ... Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back. It’s like a boxer, and we want to be so nice. We want to be so respectful of everybody, including bad people. And we’re going to have to fight much harder, and Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us. ... And we were going to sit home and watch a big victory. And everybody had us down for a victory. It was going to be great. And now we’re out here fighting. ... [ I GUESS THE BBC REALLY COULDN'T USE THIS ONE:] The American people do not believe the corrupt fake news anymore. They have ruined their reputation. But it used to be that they’d argue with me, I’d fight. So I’d fight, they’d fight. I’d fight, they’d fight. Boop-boop. You’d believe me, you’d believe them. Somebody comes out. You know. They had their point of view, I had my point of view. But you’d have an argument. Now what they do is they go silent. It’s called suppression. And that’s what happens in a communist country. That’s what they do. They suppress. You don’t fight with them anymore, unless it’s a bad story. ... With your help over the last four years, we built the greatest political movement in the history of our country and nobody even challenges that. I say that over and over, and I never get challenged by the fake news, and they challenge almost everything we say. But our fight against the big donors, big media, big tech and others is just getting started. ... Our brightest days are before us. Our greatest achievements still wait. I think one of our great achievements will be election security because nobody until I came along, had any idea how corrupt our elections were. And again, most people would stand there at 9:00 in the evening and say, “I want to thank you very much,” and they go off to some other life, but I said, “Something’s wrong here. Something’s really wrong. Can’t have happened.” And we fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore. -

"His speech did repeatedly call on people to fight." If that were true there would have been no need for the BBC to splice together two sections of his speech that were uttered 53 minutes apart. They could have just used a clip from one of the times he actually said it. If it were true. -

Gourmet to Honest seems a bit of a downgrade. -
Would probably need to be counter service only like the one in Peckham.
-
Suspect it will become a 16 storey block for 1000s of student flats with a Londis on the ground floor. With no need for additional buses, trains or GP surgeries to be added into the area.

Well, I walk past every morning on my way to work via Peckham Rye station. I reckon I see at least two or three vehicles drive down the school street from the Crystal Palace Road end each day. The signs aren't actually conspicuous and the road itself is very busy at the time with commuters cycling, people dropping off at the school there and other vehicles causing general carnage trying to turn around to avoid the cameras. It's chaos almost every day and so must be quite easy to miss the signs that are positioned high up and very close to the point of no return.

How many people were injured in each of these accidents?
-
I agree. We should actually just close all these shops down and that would solve all the issues.
