One of the reasons I hardly ever come on the EDF any more is because of the nit-picking, petty-minded posters who hijack so many ordinary people's threads.


You should be ashamed of yourselves for the insensitive, bullying, anally retentive comments that you seem to trot out on such a regular basis, especially in response to first-time or irregular posters.


tom_tom, you have my sympathies and take no notice of the arseholes on here who obviously have nothing more important in their lives than finding ways to be condescending about the minor mistakes, infractions and activities of other people.

I have sympathy for anyone (including tom_tom) who has had their car damaged like this


And I have sympathy for Lady D's argument about people nit picking


On the other hand we have tom_tom admitting " didnt know the rules off parking, didnt bother to check as i was in a rush" which I think warrants some criticism. If you haven't got the time to check parking restrictions, who is to say the person who did your car in wasn't genuinely remorseful but was also in a rush?


Fair play, called at possibly short notice to an unfamiliar branch, hop in the car and (undoubtedly safely within speed limit) arrive at new bank. But you would check with the locals when you got in there if it would be ok for the day wouldn't you?

Stratfer jack, the difference is if A ticket lands on my doorstep in a week I will pay and admit that i was wrong. Where as whoever has done the damage has driven off. Leaving me to sort it out.


Thanks to lady deliah and everyone else who have shown some normality and understanding. Jacob, e-dealer and jeremy

Strafer, does the issue of parking restrictions have any bearing at all on the damage to tom_tom's car?


And if you think it does, in what way?


I think it has sod all to do with his problem and you all used his post as an excuse to tut, bully and wag fingers which, in my opinion, is a very unattractive trait in any adult, friend or foe.



Edited to add: 'you all' refers to the arseholes mentioned in my initial post (before I get lynched!).

I understand, I get it. But to play devils advocate here... It's clear you were in a hurry to get to an unfamiliar job. Out of curiosity, when you were rushing to that new branch, if you had brushed against another empty car parked somewhere in Forest Hill say, would you have had time to stop and provide details yourself?

Without a shadow of a doubt. Its a bit different to say to your boss you were in a a car accident then i was looking at a sign. Driving off was unfare and ive been in a situation where a car has driven off from a serious crash we were in his fault so i know how angering it is. if i was ever to cause an accident i would own up, wouldnt u ?

The two issues are completely unconnected, so why bring it up?


If you want to start a thread on people who breach parking restrictions, then do so.


This was about some normal person, new to the EDF having had his car ploughed into by a hit and run driver, requesting assistance.


If it was a regular poster (one of you), then I'm sure the outpouring of sympathy would have been vomit inducing.

tom_tom Just so as you know there was a major crash there today, road was closed from Barry road junction up to the docs surgery past cost cutter on Lordship Lane. If your car was hit during the crash I am sure the police will let you know. Apparently there was an air ambulance 2 people died and 2 seriously injured, so they are probably more concerned about that, sorry about your car by the way :( To those going on about parking, totally irrelevant!!!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
