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!

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
