For the 3rd time this week, whilst driving along Court Lane I have been shouted at by different cyclists. It appears that when crossing Court Lane from Eynella Road into Dulwich Park that they have right of way! This has caused me to brake, while they cycle out in front of me, feeling free to shout abuse as though I am in the wrong.


Is there something that I don't know?

(As a cyclist) For the 5th time this week i got cut up bad by a car!

It appears they can do this! This has caused me to brake hard, while

they drive across me, feeling free to shout abuse as though I am in the wrong.


And as Ratty kindly mentioned, your lovely metal box will ensure you live to drive another day :)


Point is, your cyclist bashing pointless point works both ways.


Lets just all be a bit more tolerant of each other :)

As far is being tolerant is concerned, I have been, on 3 different occasion's this week alone. The cyclist's haven't.


I fully agree that tolerance works both ways. I'm not a person who complains easily, and as proved already, daring to open a thread in this lounge opens you up to taking a 'bashing' yourself.


In this instance the cyclist was in the wrong.

I fully agree with you re the cyclists :)


All i'm saying is if i started a thread for every 3x times or so

i got cut up or a driver swerving into me as they're on their

Blackberys etc...i would be starting a thread on the same subject EVERY DAY...


And that would be really tedious, for everyone.

Thank you everyone, I'd like to apologise for being tedious, this is the first thread I've been brave enough to start. I'll never do it again!


My mistake that The Lounge was a place to air your thoughts. I would say that 'I'll know better next time' but there won't be one.


DJKillaQueen - chill....

Good for you. Motorcyclists are taught something called defensive riding. It's something many cyclists automatically do. I personally am fed up of drivers who complain because driving requires they pay FULL attention to what is going on around them. In 15 years as a driver myself I have never come even close to hitting a cyclist and yes that includes those that break the rules.

Naah. Headcam, so you can relive the terrified look of the pedestrians as you bear down on them at speed as they cross the zebra crossing...

Thank you DJKillaQueen. I never intended to bash cyclists. I was just trying to raise the point that the same thing has happened 3 times in the same place in 1 week. I consider myself to be an observant driver. Unfortunately I don't have a crystal ball that shows me when a cyclist is coming along Eynella road at speed and about to ride out in front of me.

Okey-dokey. Give me a few minutes and I'll think a few more up.

    • At last a decision…. Hope it lives up to your expectations. Good post though as new eateries appeared which no doubt others like myself will try out. Has changed hands last year but sure that will not bother you…personally always abit concerned if not many eating over lunchtime but  that is just me. Do let us know how food was after all of you have  indulged…was great when it was a cafe and personally hope it is good as I like Turkish food.    
    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
