...-are really beginning to hack me off!


Not only do plenty of them jaywalk, but those using legal crossings... well they aren't exactly helping traffic flow are they?


Then I find out that (who else!) Ken Livingstone wants more of us to walk everywhere - this is just soooo typical of his politically correct efforts to prevent motorists from getting where we want to, when we want to, with the minimum of fuss


Surely these pedestrians can see that if they got out of our way, we would get to where we want to quicker and then be out of their way???

I know what you mean! Bastards! Last night I went to the corner shop to pick up some milk. It should have only taken a couple of minutes as the shop is a block away from my house but:


First I had to walk 2 blocks to where my car was parked. It could have been on the pavement outside my house but apparently the pavement is ?reserved? for ?pedestrians?.


Anyway I then had to drive around the one way system to the shop but do you think I could park? Could I fuck! There is plenty of space on the road outside the shop but you can?t park their because it is something called a ?bus stop?. Believe me I?ve tried. Apparently when pedestrians aren?t j-walking or clogging up the pavements they travel around on theses ?bus? things sweating and rubbing their shoulders up against each other. It?s filthy I tell you.


So I had to drive half a mile up lordship lane before I found somewhere to park and walk for ten minutes to the shop!


I?m not even going to start on my trip home. Let?s just say it made Odysseus?s famed journey seem like an easyjet flight to Athens!

Yeah, and then they start sweating, and use up valuable water resources to re-hydrate themselves! Selfish gits!

    • I think the Brixton Pound lives on, so there must be some kind of appetite for it, but I'm afraid I doubt it would be very useful for me.
    • My primary issue is the noise level and the fact that it begins at dusk and continues well into the early hours, the odd random bang being possibly the worst aspect as you never know when the next volley will occur. This is no longer about celebrating a turning point as the clock strikes 12am, but more a lengthy indulgence in ear shattering bangs, where there also seems to be competition as to who can create the loudest most startling barrage of sustained noise. A new thing is daytime fireworks, where buyers are urged to forget the visual aspect and focus on getting the biggest bang for their buck. I am lucky as I am not super sensitive to noise but I really feel for those who are. As for pets, I am afraid there are now many that require serious medication to get them through- and those meds are not cheap. The fault here is not with the animals or people sensitive to extreme bangs, but with those who insist on their right to impose it on all around them, not just for half an hour a few times a year, but for hours on customary dates and now  spreading to random events throughout the year.I  New Year fireworks is a very recent construct, and now Halloween Fireworks are becoming a thing. Why should we encourage and condone a proliferating societal noise addiction? It really is isn't healthy. Let those who wish to damage their eardrums enjoy their pastime through headphones; they can turn the volume up as high as they like.  If last night was the end of it then that is great but I think there'll be more through the weekend and more discarded jumbo firework boxes dumped in the park. I hope we follow other countries in adopting low noise fireworks and drone shows instead.    
    • NYE is always like this. If you’re concerned about your pets, please consider seeing a vet as they can help. We give our dog valerian and play calming music, which helps especially after long walks and a big dinner. If it’s for yourself, it’s one night, so also suggest seeing your doctor for advice.  It is loud, although more predictable ( kept to evening:to midnight) than Guy Fawkes celebrations which go on for days and are arguably selfish and inconsiderate. Either way, it’s a very difficult time for many.     
    • Thanks Rowan! Well done you have done amazing on your fitness journey. Happy New Year EDF and all my wonderful clients whom I've had the pleasure to train this year. I'm looking forward to 2026 🙌🎊
