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’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
