Around here I'd say the worst offenders are:


Addison Lee / anything with a minicab sticker on the back

BMWs (entry-level car for the label-dependent; account for at least a third of my near-misses on the bike)

Mothers on the school run (usually in big cars, distracted by their kids and on local journeys so don't pay attention)

Male cyclists who wear all the cycling gear

White vans

Black cabs

Young guys with b@lls tied to the accelerator

Ermm...


You forgot:


Turbo bitch from hell.

You know the one; white vauxhall nova, fluffy toys, steering wheel cover, whitney blasting and all the while cutting you up on the inside/outside/front/back at 50+mph


Any colour/age/shape applies

Disagree with the last part. They are middle aged, blonde and have a really scary look in their eyes.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
