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':


"OMG why the f*ck is becky in the fuckin bromley crew she anit even bin in bromley 4 as long as we have i dnt give a shit if liam is goin out with her or if she has bin here for 1 yr or how eva long it is ??*?*

soz but i jst sayin wot i think and i dnt thing she shud b in the b crew sorri ? ? ? ? ?

byee love ya kc josh maz megs and becks and kirsty ? ? ? ? ?"

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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
