Ok ? I accept it happens then.


I?ve cycled that junction for 15 years and can?t recall it happening as it?s a silly junction to do it on. There is too much going on. To say it happens all the time is an exaggeration.


As for cycling without lights, I?m a motorist too. Cycling without lights is stupidly dangerous. To do that you have to be basically thick. Anyone who does is putting themselves in real danger for no reason. Many people are morons. Some of them are cyclists. The bane of my ride home from the City is boneheaded, drunk pedestrians.

You need to re-title the thread to some derogatory comment about cyclists, I thought looking at the title it may be something of use/interest, rather than a reason for many of you to go on about your prejudices. Good that some have brought in some balance.


PS Shaggy and others, you cannot have a proper conversation if you resort to terms such as thick, morons etc. Although that could apply to some pedestrians of course......

Last night some thick bastard was driving along the road without any lights on and almost caused an accident. I noticed and yelled about the lights, and then I switched on them and everything was fine.


It wasn't on Crystal Palace Rd tho, sorry.

you might all want to read "Road Rage Forest Hill Road"

As loads of posts have commented, there's no comparison between the damage of a human in a vehicle and a human on a bicycle or walking. Humans driving vehicles are a huge part of the destruction of the planet

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
