Seems to be a new game on Lordship Lane today as my OH has just returned from the bus stop having been attacked with considerable amounts of tomato sauce squirted from a moving car. He was too busy trying to work out what they had done to take down any details but has had to have a complete change of clothes before he can venture back out to the bus stop and head into town.

And chucking them at pedestrians and cyclists. I know at least one of the perpetrators was a young person, just out of school, with a job behind the tills at a Camberwell supermarket, access to as much out-of-date stock as they could carry and no ideas what else to do with it. They found out fairly quickly that (a) supermarket uniforms aren't cloaks of invisibility and (b) the cameras on the buses aren't just for show.


Eggs weren't nice, but they were better than the rocks, bottles, fireworks or used nappies I've had chucked at me since. Tomato ketchup sounds a comparative luxury, but I don't suppose that's helpful. The only consolation is that the more it happens, the less you take it personally.


The best obstacles are imaginary. There's one where two groups of kids stand on opposite sides of the road and, as a cyclist approaches, pulls on an imaginary rope. I've only seen it done the once, on Camberwell Grove, where I fell victim with the appropriate lack of grace and a lot of swearing. As a trick, it's brilliantly minimal, but dangerously effective.

at the Crystal Rd end of Lordship Lane, no CCTV, James.


And whilst it's hardly the crime of the century and I love all the saucey comments, forking out for dry cleaning and being late for a meeting wasn't what OH had planned when he went to get the bus.


I agree it was an improvement on eggs thoug, and better than the canned spaghetti (minus cans) that adorned a few cars around here the other night!


Some people obviuosly have enough money to throw food around.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
