black cab drivers definitely the worst due to their 'anything goes' kind of attitude, esp in central London-trying to navigate a bus in central london is ridiculously hard given the way black cab drivers just feel they can stop anywhere to drop people off and they pull out completely out of the blue.


After that I'd say (some) cyclists are pretty awful. many are just too slow- it's all very well choosing to cycle but many just aren't up to the job of driving on roads in London and inadvertently hold up full buses of people because they just can't keep up to speed level.

Do you drive a bike? No. We're talking about four wheeled vehicles.


And as a cyclist I'd say the worst (so most dangerous) are in order:


Local authority bulky rubbish vans

Addisson Lee/people carrier minicab types

Delivery vans other than Royal Mail vans

Royal Mail vans

Lexus drivers

Ruskin Private Hire

Motorcycle couriers

Clarkes coaches

Skip lorries (AKA cycle killers)

Black Cabs

Old Volvos with one front light

Hipster driven scooters

Modern Mercedes Benzs

Builder vans pre-8am before hangover has softened

Demented costermongers leaving East St Market of an evening.

Just stand on Charing Cross Road and count how many cars go through red lights and compare with how many cylists go through red lights in 30 minutes.


Yesterday all the cars and pedestrians parted to allow an ambulance through a red light followed by ... you guessed it a Mad Cyclist someone took a swing at him but he missed.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
