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...

    • Sometime in the mid 80s, the first incarnation was on Peckham Rye near the new old Tesco’s
    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
