Skipping on pavement

[Lynne]

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.

skipping stationary or skipping as he goes along the pavement ?

[Lynne]

Stationary at that moment

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]

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.

She did wait and he didn't

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.

You can't get a decent social media construct these days, I'm guessing Lou has gone trans...

Well said 10/10

Dear oh dear.

You really thought that comment was worth venturing off the forum word game threads, wordsworth?

[KalamityKel]

oh come now people. Everyone has things to complain about. No need to be bitchy or be all assuming someone is being a troll.

[Jules-and-Boo]

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.

[KidKruger]

Oh yeah - like "offence by proxy" !!

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

Works both ways. Why should one person have entitlement?

I'm not really on the side of people who expect anyone to get out of their way
