examples please.

Traffic today was particularly heavy in all surrounding areas but mainly due to the large convoys joining the fuel protesting. I think a lot of people got confused with all the tooting and got themselves annoyed too... maybe just a bad day to mention angry drivers...?



*edited coz my use of past and present tense is rather appalling*

This one is ED specific, whilst the other one clearly mentioned Peckham in the opening post. Come on Sean, keep up for Christ's sake!

no, I was expecting more than one and, to be honest, carnage. Seeing a driver insult another driver is not an excuse to bring in traffic calming measures. Anyway isn't the digging up of Lordship Lane for the next 3 months going to calm down traffic enough?

oh and the other reason I mentioned the joke word was because I was accused of not seeing the humour in another thread Sean#2 started


As for why drivers generally (be it in Peckham or ED!!) appear to be misbehaving - maybe they are panic-buying petrol after the recent industrial-action?

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
