Yourself.

what im suggesting is that a speed limit is pointless and people need to use common sense, ie im cycling round and I come across a family learning to roller blade I slow down!! you cant regualte everything, I wish people would just grow up and get along.

A speed limit is a speed limit. It is there for a reason and applies to you. Cyclists that consider laws are there to be ignored give all cyclists a bad name.


> I wish people would just grow up and get along


I'm pretty sure it's not everyone else that needs to do the growing up, just you.

It's dog versus child so it would appear.. A one man's battle... Hilarious! If I thought it was worth something I would give my tuppence but best that one of us act like an adult. It's been grwat chatting to you Mule, keep up the banter as it makes for entertaining reading..>:D

I don't think dog owners and child owners are all that different in the park.


A dog owner may let his/her hound off the leash and able to approach passers by without realising the passer by may be afraid that this dog will attack or bite them. A child owner does the same except the fear is that the child will run into the passer by's legs/shins and be knocked flat and end up crying - both situations are uncomfortable for the passer by and both could be avoided by keeping the animals in question under control.


Both are noisy and smelly and impossible to love ouside of their immediate family - which does not stop their respective owners imagining that their dog/child (or dogchild) is universally loved and admired.


Dog mess is not the dog's fault any more than a soiled nappy discarded in the bushes is the child's and the annoyance caused by a continually barking dog can easily be matched by the screams of toddlers turning the park's cafe into another playground.


And I have seen both chase after/run blindly towards cyclists leaving the latter in peril - on these occasions breaking the speed limit should be permissable.

Good point, but with the exception of my kids and, obviously, Frankito's dog!






Although, on reflection, probably just Frankito's dog...

    • That explanation sounds highly unlikely!  Surely the "days of the week" plates must be a standard size. I know Royal Mail often appears incompetent, but it  couldn't be that stupid, surely. Was it 1 April?!  
    • Looking for a short length of electric (twin & earth)  lighting cable. Most likely there could be some in a skip near you??
    • Southwark's recycling guidance says to put shredded paper in the blue bin in a paper envelope or "small box". I've got far too much of it for that  (confidential stuff going back decades) - thanks to the EDF member who kindly gave me a shredder! It would be a "massive box". I have barely started  the shredding, and I've already got an extremely large bagful.   I've read online that you can put it into  large clear plastic bags in the bin for paper,  provided you  clearly label it "shredded paper" and it is obvious what it is. Does anybody know if Southwark would accept it like that? Alternatively, can anyone make use of it for animal bedding or packaging material or adding to  compost?
    • I'm happy to report that some foxgloves are now looking great in my garden. The bees are loving them. Also managed to grow some corn poppies from seed. I've left some decaying logs in the corner so maybe there are some stag beetles there.
