Could you be a bit more vague please?


As a rule, pedestrians always have right of way, even on a highway (within reason for a highway). 'Pedestrian' does not cover joggers, runners, cyclists etc.

So the people that walked on the pathway are now all walking together on the grass.

I dont want to walk on the grass because of the dog mess and also I'm badly allergic to wasps and they often buzz around low around grass.

No what makes sense is what an earlier poster said.

Joggers use the bridleway and walkers use the pavements and other paths to walk in.

I object strongly to your suggestion that all walkers should walk on the grass because Joggers should have right of way.

Smells trollish to me

paulipedia - to suggest all tarmac covered surfaces (roads, pavement, paths connecting different areas of park) should be for joggers only is not reasonable. Basically you?re saying Dulwich Park is a sports ground but if you want to walk or go with family then must mind you don?t get in the way of the runners as they have priority.

Doesn?t sound like a serious suggestion, or option.

How about don't take your dogs? Therefore no dog mess,no dogs dragging their owners too close to other people,no dog owners flouting the lockdown rules by taking their dogs out several times a day. Studies have implicated dogs in the spread of this virus, seems like heaping Pelion on Ossa, risk-wise.


That's a simple proposal everyone can follow, and would be very effective.

This

I?m not suggesting all joggers have right of way on pavements. My observation is that most parks I?ve been to people are sticking to the paths and leaving a lot of space. If you want to minimise your risk of infection go where there aren?t people. Wow

Out this morning every single or pair of joggers skirted right round me or crossed the road well in advance, and each time I thanked them for it.


Only one guy forced me to wait in the middle of a pedestrian crossing, so we would not meet on the pavement I was crossing over to and he was running on. He could have detoured into the grass area but chose not to. He thanked me for waiting though. I think runner fatigue can clearly sometimes interfere with judgement!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
