Lynne Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 To the man skipping on the pavement on the corner of Lacon who wouldn't give up so a woman with a pushchair had to walk out into the road. Well done you. I hope you're really fit now and I don't for a moment hope you'll get entangled in the rope and fall flat on your face.

malumbu Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 This is the sort of thread for the East Dulwich Issues part of the site unless you want a general discussion on skipping on pavements. I don't really have any views on the latter. I expect cycling and electric scooters on pavements is more of a national issue.

KidKruger Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 In that case if I was the woman with the pram I would have stood and waited, he would have moved.She didn't want to wait and he wasn't responsive enough to people approaching.Lynne Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Stationary at that moment Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/268006-skipping-on-pavement/#findComment-1463598 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Taylor Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I doubt this poor woman with a pushchair was forced into oncoming traffic on the M25. I live on Lacon Road so its likely she just went down a slope onto an empty road prior to crossing it, as you said it was on the corner.Ridiculous, pathetic whinge about something so petty only well off middle class types with no other worries in their lives would post about.

Jules-and-Boo Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 it's funny that it's an observer complaining. Who knows what the guys skipping and the woman with the baby had going through their mind.He was probably counting and she was possibly not in the slightest bothered that she couldn't walk in a straight line.Most people are nice, tolerant and a bit more chilled out.

Lynne Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 She didn't look "not bothered". Most people would prefer to be able to push their pushchair along the pavement rather than be forced out into the road.I don't think it's a class issue, more a question of ordinary politeness.Obviously Steven Taylor sees politeness as middle class hypocrisy Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/268006-skipping-on-pavement/#findComment-1464071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
