The programme I referred to is people suing councils for tripping up, getting hit by a branch falling from a tree etc, and claiming they're doing it for 'justice'. Rubbish.

There's another thread I'm sure to be had about how the council may or may not be responsible but...


I enjoyed shouting at the telly.

What I don?t get is why people look for ways to sue their local council. Ok fine if they have been blatantly negligent and driven a lorry through you front room or something. But some troglodyte who trips down some stairs and then decides to sue the organisation to whom he pays a couple of hundred quid a month to provide him with a liveable environment thereby putting more financial pressure on the council and indirectly himself which inevitably leads to his environment being worse and him being more prone to accidents.


I?m not sure if it is because people are selfish or stupid or both.


I also have a sneaking suspicion that they do this sort of thing just to piss me off.

    • Just wanted to let you all know that Dulwich Antiques is serving free takeaway coffee (Old Spike), tea and hot chocolate all day every Sunday. We’re open today till 5pm.  Dulwich Antiques, 3 Upland Road. Hopefully see you there! Rachel & Conrad 
    • But is it the Village councillors who are maintaining the board, or someone else? When the boards in East Dulwich were installed, it wasn't the councillors who kept the information up to date, it was Monica from Health Matters, who was greatly involved in various  community matters (eg the building of the community garden at what was then Dulwich Hospital). I can't remember if it was her who initiated the installation of the boards in the first place. She no longer lives in East Dulwich, and nobody else appears to be willing to liaise with the councillors and community related organisations  to take this on for the various East Dulwich boards.  It would hardly take much effort. Basic information doesn't frequently change (and no, I'm not volunteering. I am overstretched as it is). It's all very well to  get a physical  community notice board spruced up, but not much use if it then isn't being used for its intended purpose. And I can't see that it is part of a councillor's job to update notice boards which they didn't initiate in the first place. I'm sure they have more than enough to do.  The notice boards serve (or did do) a useful service, but all the information which could be put on them is surely available elsewhere. (Unless it is bringing to people's attention things which are of use/interest to them and they weren't aware they needed/would like, or didn't know how else to find the information). ETA: Oh. I've just read the beginning of this thread. I'd forgotten how it started. It's gone well off topic, hasn't it. Probably just as well, reading the OP.
