sorry - don't know - but was amazed to see - that after last year - when snow was widely forecast - that dog kennel hill was again untreated / unprepared - and surely enough a bus attempted madly to go up - and cf course failed and caused predictable chaos all around hat area - you would have thought that the combined force of painsburies TFL and the council - that this could have ben planned for - what a bunch of muppets

I have to say that the TLF website information on buses, roads and trains is rubbish, the EDF is a far more reliable source of information.

Smaller side roads are a nightmare. I live on what is normally a rat run but have seen almost no cars at all today.

Saw the pizza delivery guy nearly come off his moped braking at a junction even tough he was going about 5mph. is is right to expect them to risk life and limb for a pizza.

It has been partly planned for this year better than last. Last year, the buses just stopped serving this area almost entirely. At least this year, the buses are running with diversions to avoid the steepest hills - the problem is that there's a certain point at which the bus will get up it and that is also partly due to driver skill. I was on a 185 yesterday that passed two buses 'stuck' on hills.


A while we all go on about gritting, if there's a lot of snow falling in a short period, it will cover the grit and make it virtually useless. There was an emergency gritter in Peckham yesterday when there was bus carnage along Peckham High Street - it was basically a truck of grit with several men trying to spread some out across the junction with boards and bare hands even...

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
