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

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.

    • They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.
    • From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.  
    • I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
    • Hello, I lost a babies blanket between Tessa Jowell and the Picture House on Lordship Lane 😞It is teal colour with the name Cillian embroidered on it.  If anyone sees/finds it please let me know.  Thank you!
