Thank you to everyone that helped! (after my car was rear ended by a bus)


Recommended Posts

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to all the people that helped me this morning after my car was rear ended by a double decker bus outside Kings. Thank you Emily that asked if myself and our three kids were ok, helped me get the buggy out the back of the car even though there was smashed glass everywhere and was generally lovely and reassuring. Thank you to the ladies that held my 2 year olds hand while I spoke to the police and reassured the other two, to Viv my neighbour who happened to be on the bus behind that took my kids to A&E to be checked over. Thank you to those people that stroked my dog that took most of the impact of the accident and helped get her out without her being harmed, her being in the booth with a million smashed shards of glass. Thank you to the doctors and nurses on the pavement that patiently waited while I worked out what I was doing and asked if we were ok and thank you to the people that gave me their details as witnesses.


Although a stressful incident, unimagined as we set out to drive to Devon and see my family, I was overwhelmed by the care, selflessness and general kindness shown by everyone that passed by.Thank you all.

Gosh, poor you, sounds horrific but lovely to hear that people came to your aid. There are so many prolific 'this world's gone to the dogs' posters on this forum so very nice to hear evidence to the contrary! Hope you, your kids and your poor doggie get over the shock/injuries quickly and enjoy what remains of your holiday.

    • Hi All Following incredible assistance from The Dulwich Society, a visit to the Southwark Archives and lots local insight from this forum, social media and visitors to ed we have created a visual history of ed's home, 41 North Cross Road. We think it looks great, you can see it on our Instagram and Facebook pages: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6UJsC3MDsS/ https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=947290310732033&set=pcb.947290447398686 There is a much less pretty but more detailed version for anyone interested. Many thanks for all your help. Dan  
    • So you are a ‘member’ 😳whatever that means, but also not. It’s not very clear…. But also totally transparent. Miaow 💅😂 Maybe I will, maybe I won’t 😂 What is interesting about your questions is that they suggest, as usual, that you see everything as a really basic binary opposition (cars vs bike, anti LTN vs pro-council etc). It’s not very nuanced Rocks. I don’t have great love for Southwark council as I suspect you assume. That said, neither do I have a lot of time for the apocalyptic hyperbole of those still upset over a fairly minor change to a road junction in the village, made several years ago, and which actually creates a nice public space for pedestrians and a bit more safety for kids travelling to school by bike. Ah, what the hell, let’s play…as you asked so nicely: The one that took place between May and July 2021 I don’t know much about this. It seems it was reopened though? Apparently they have the agreement of the emergency services this time, (which perhaps does suggests they didn’t consult with them properly the first time round). Of course someone (the mysterious Mr One?) believes the emergency services are being intimidated somehow (possibly by commies) so maybe Southwark still haven’t learnt their lesson? No, I don’t. Although I hear the Mysterious Mr One would like it redesigned to make things clearer. 😂 As for your ‘question 3 sub-points’ I don’t actually agree with their premise (a bit of the old ‘how often do you beat your wife’ framing going on there… slippery 😂) Anyway good luck with the referendum.   
    • I often walk past 'Kenro Press' and think it looks very sad and negleted. I wonder when it was last a viable business - tried googling it but nothing much came up Great to hear it is being brought back to life, perhaps a pity it will not be a new usefull retail premises. Lots of work needed so good luck with your renovation
