Quids is right. There has been a deterioration in the absurd, inconsequential, nonsensical, enlightening and irrelevant here and a preponderance of politically driven debate.


The lounge has been a dumping ground for too long. Whenever admin don't know what to do with a thread that is ill-suited to its surroundings it gets 'lounged' and we have had enough! It's about time the earnestness with which some of the socio-political guff posted in this section got its come uppance and got 'drawing roomed'. Any debate in this section should only be tolerated if it either raises a smile/laugh or contains amusing/slightly-rude imagery.


Any attempts at political point scoring or arbitrary insults (designed to promote or attack a political viewpoint) should be D.R'd. and those with the lounge's best interests at heart should pile on to the offending thread to make sure it is.

i think they are like EDF aristocracy - been going so long that although they may be pointless, dull, degraded in intelligence and usefulness and irritating, they are a source of comfort and nostalgia to veteran posters and something for occasional visitors to look at and have a desultory turn at ... actually not so much ariostocracy as the run down swings and slide of a city centre park.

And the difference/your point is?


Apologies if it was a "Aristocarcy? More like...!" but you did forget to add the *boom-tish! A-thankyou!* ;-)

    • Police are responsible for speed cameras, often these only go up after a serious incident or two. If speeding was decriminalised and went to local authorities to enforce then our roads would be safer as there would be far less speeding.   https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/enforcement-20mph-zones-local-roads
    • Never understood why there are not more speed cameras on Lordship Lane and the surrounding area - not sure what happened here exactly, but given the damage to the front of the vehicle as a result of the impact of the traffic light, it seems very unlikely that this person was driving slowly.
    • I am always really surprised by the glowing reviews of Franklins. Not sure whether it was once very good, and so it is just somewhere that is now remembered as that and thought of fondly by those who have known it since its opening all those years ago? As someone who has lived in the area for a few years now, and having tried it a few times (mostly as a result of the positive reviews), I have always been pretty disappointed. The food has always been average for the price point, and last time we visited we waited about 40 minutes to place an order. Hopefully whoever buys it can make improvements - it would be great to have a reliable pub on the lane that serves good food (similar to the Kerfield or Camberwell Arms, etc.)!
    • I will buy you a frothy coffee from anywhere you like on Lordship Lane if that happens. Most of these costs never get recovered from the drivers that caused them. The photo shows a car that's been left on the zigzags protecting the crossing. Pedestrians crossing East to West and drivers heading South won't see each other until the pedestrians are in the road. That is a dangerous position to leave a car in. (I don't know if it's stil there, obviously).
