East Dulwich not good enough for you then?

Loz, you suggest my last post is a bit of skewed logic, and I guess it might be construed as such only that we are talking about emotional human beings here, not logical machines. The Highway code makes mention of vulnerable people like the old, disabled and young. These poeple may not cross the road using the higher powers of logic that you demand. It still stands that the onus is on the driver to be careful. Some of the posts on here suggest that it is the driver's right to drive in an unimpeded manner. Maybe - but it is also the drivers responsibility to drive with due care and attention, even if the pedestrian is acting illogically.

God no, unless i'm wanting to waste my hard earned cash on some "organic" produce or some overpriced tat in a waste of time and space gift shop, or for that matter buying some drab clothing from White Stuff. Great place to shop, not! Bromley has a huge shopping complex with variety and choice, ED has boutiques and indos aimed at snobs (apart from a few unmentioned shops I remain loyal to). Jah, there is is a world outside of ED, it's known as the real world, it's a shame a few more people dont visit it now and then.

Hi,


Just to clarify matters... A person in control of a vehicle has a duty of care at all times to other road users no matter if it is a car, van, lorry or bus. The driver should be fully observant.


The point I was trying to make was that I indicate at all times irrespective of any pedestrian and irrespective of other road user's. Given that the pedestrian shows no sign of crossing a road and then suddenly enters the road without warning is where the problem is.


Also, just to clarify the other point, I think that I am right in describing the Peckham situation. For instance, and I stand to be corrected, if someone was to describe being robbed, the person would say he was white or black or whatever. They also describe someone as being a devout Catholic, as in the case of the poor lad from Lee. I mentioned the word Muslim because it was relevant as the women could not see properly due to their headwear and therefore should take more care in pushing their children out into a bus, given that they have restricted vision.


Regards,

Libra Carr.

I didn't see the women Libra Carr is talking about so he must have the final say, but I've never seen a Muslim woman in a headscarf that wasn't tightly bound to her head, and which would not obstruct her vision at all.


Also-hurrah, this thread is now officially complete as Louisa has brought in the word snobs. Do we think she could be playing ED Buzzword Bingo?


Cross-post with Asset...

Loving your posts, Libra.


Ahh.. BROMLEY.. land of the, er, well..


Don't take it from me.. take it from 'Princess Candz', of 'The Bromley Crew':

What a load of b*llox, The Glades is a decent complimentary indoor shopping centre to the great high street in Bromley. It is a mixture of independent local stores and larger branded groups and it works wonderfully well. LL is just a small backstreet comparably where you cant buy everything you want in one go unless you fancy being taken to the cleaners like half of the so called chattering classes seem to enjoy since moving in and turning the place into pointless gift shop hell. Funny thing is if we had a peak into half of the wardrobes of the snobs on here who dislike Bromley so much because it isnt "edgy inner south london turned richmond on thames", we would no doubt find items from various branded stores which sit alongside the indies throughout our great city.


Snobbery really is pointless.


Louisa.

I've not been to Bromley for many years. I declare that Bromley is not a patch on Croydon: Whitgift Centre, High Street, North End, The new(ish) Centraaaal a few "edgier" shops dotted here, there and everywhere, plus 2 purpose built P?tanque pistes in Ashburton park. What more could a person want?


It's only a train / 197 ride away AND it also has a Tex Mex restaurant which appears to be in no danger of closing down any time soon.


E2A:


The most retarded pedestrians, IMHO, are those that step out in front of cyclists at the Camberwell Green crossroad. I make no apologies for any bumps, bashes or near miss induced shocks caused solely by their failure to observe the simple "Red man = don't walk, green man = walk" system in place there.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
