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.

    • Oh, so that was the council.  Someone ripped some lovely flowering Toadflax from our wall and threw it in the gutter.  I assumed that a child had done it.  How strange?
    • Black open bag found on pavement on Goodrich Road this morning filled with electrical type items. Please message me if yours with description of what should be inside. Thanks
    • Every year council workers come round and remove "weeds" from pavements. These "weeds" are wild flowers which as well as brightening up the urban environment attract pollinating insects including bees. Can someone explain to me what is the purpose of this removal? The plants do not seem to be causing any kind of obstruction to pedestrians, and they make my walks around the area more pleasant. Or had done. It seems a bit odd that on the one hand the council are deliberately planting areas of wild flowers (eg on Goose Green, albeit not apparently maintaining them very well) and/or apparently letting previously cultivated areas go wild (eg on Goose Green roundabout) but on the other hand they are paying employees to come round and remove wild flowers. Why? Am I missing something here? I came out the other day to find a small pile of flowering  Toadflax and Alkanet outside my house. I was totally bemused until a neighbour told me the reason.
    • Have you changed your mind about taking the task on which Monica used to do, then?
