UG is right, yes he can smell wood smoke, but where does any post mention doing anything about breaking the law?


It doesn't, though you've convoluted the 'burning wood' thing to suit your finger wagging about 'bad' smoke


Why not start a 'bad smoke' thread, and flak off all you like on there about it.


I'd assume people burn within the remit of the law, else we're all under suspicion for something or other.

I hear Nigel Havers has been tapping on windows (PM, Radio4 just now) asking drivers to switch off. Got a few choice words in return and also some positive reactions too.


Personally, I like The Elusive Shadow's potato up the stack idea.

This indeed foxy. Right again.

Sue, I'm sure even in the presence of facts "alternative examples" can be found to back up the claim.


Let's be honest, when laws are made or when a judge is considering passing a sentence the overriding thought in the back of their minds will be "don't forget to make a loophole for my mate"...


That must be clear to see...

I asked - very politely and smilingly - a man to consider turning off his idling van engine as he sat and smoked a cigar in the driving seat. He told me to ask the same of all the people who were driving and wound his window back up. You win some, you lose some (probably many, if I continued around here!)

Sue there are plenty of examples out there, if you need me or foxy to advise you of them then you have clearly lost the argument here! Goodness me, why do all threads need to rear off topic?

      Latest One Dulwich update

      By Rockets · Posted

      But you don't think the same protection should be afforded to those on the anti-LTN side...? Given the witch hunt some are be conducting to unearth which local residents are involved (see numerous examples on this forum), given the vandalism of the anti-LTN signs and interference with cars, labelling of anyone who opposes as some sort of petrol-head facist and given even Anna Goodman's tearing down of an anti-LTN poster you still think you only want anonimyity for those on one side of the argument? Does that not seem slightly hypocritical...it's why your first post on this issue entertained so many of us - it seemed ever so one-sided and summed up the challenges anyone who opposes the measures has to fight?

      Rubie - Lost Cat

      By lindabd · Posted

      Hello again, Rubie, my cat, is still missing. He has been gone since 18th April.  Rubie is black and white, with black ears, a splendid white moustache, white front paws, and mostly white back legs.  Please check your sheds etc as he may be trapped, he’s a curious little thing.  I would really appreciate any help and suggestions. Thank you.

      There is no equivalence between One Dulwich purporting to be a local organisation speaking for local people, and actually properly constituted organisations such as The Dulwich Society. A 3 -second google search reveals the openly published names of the trustees of Dulwich Society, so I can make my own mind up as to whether these individuals are coming at local issues with a particular slant. I can read minutes of their meetings online, and whilst I might not agree with their every position, I can have confidence that they are an open and fundamentally democratic institution. There is absolutely nothing similar in terms of publicly accountable information to be found about One Dulwich - no idea of who is behind it, who pays for it ( it is clearly expensive), and on what basis they make their decisions.  Given the Police involvement in the intimidation of people with a public pro-LTN view ( for which there is no equivalence in terms of severity of any incident for those with an anti-LTN point of view), I can fully understand why, for Dulwich Society's traffic sub- committee only, they want a bit of online anonymity. I also find it slightly disturbing that when The Dulwich Society current leadership asked the 'grouping' pushing for changes within it for a meeting to discuss their concerns, they refused it. Given the recent experiences of organisations such as The National Trust, the question can be asked - is something similar going on here?
