To the Silver SUV license CK04 VGT driving over 40mph last night in ED just before 9pm PLEASE SLOW DOWN! You almost hit my husband last night and didn't even seem to notice. We have small children just starting to ride their bikes on the road and while they were in bed last night if you are out on the road at any time you need to obey the speed limits. There are speed bumps on the road for a reason NOT for you to test out the power of your 4x4!


To all drivers...with longer daylight and sunny days there are more cyclists on the road than ever before. Please be careful and try to observe the 20mph speed limit.

I'm on danby st and the cars fly up it like it's a race course. The fact there's a school at the bottom now seems to not affect it; and the speed bumps are useless because you can probably straddle them in a smartcar. I have no sympathy for people caught speeding, even if the camera is in a 'sneaky' place.

We have them here too... have done for quite some time. I guess they're more costly than regular cameras.

Well said - the limits are there for a reason and if you don't break them you don't have to worry. People bitching about "sneaky" speed cameras (and I've been caught twice being silly on a motorcycle, most notably doing 50mph down the Mall, of course there are never many coppers in that area! Bloody well served me right) seem to me akin to shoplifters complaining that if the supermarket hadn't got CCTV they wouldn't have been caught.

It's actually quite easy to tell if someone's doing twice the speed limit - it's pretty obvious, and as for taking down the plate maybe the car had to slow for a corner, or perhaps twinsmom's feller has a helmet/handlebar cam?

If it's 2004 might have changed a few hands across the UK in the last twelve years - also cars are generally registered at their port of entry to the UK then shipped to dealerships across the country.

With modern GPS and tracking it should possible to have a satellite to detect and identify any vehicle which exceeds the 20mph limit on Lordship Lane.


And then all we need do is adapt Ronald Reagan's Star Wars technology to instantly vaporise the blighters so they can't do it again - "Simples" !

    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
