Just a brief note to commend the fantastic actions of the staff and customers of Gail's

Dulwich Village this morning following a cyclist accident with a white van


Having witnessed the accident as I was sat outside, the fast response from the staff and some of the customers and other passers by and cyclists was outstanding


This was even more so as the ambulance took at least 20mins to turn up whilst the cyclist was lying in the middle of the road but the actions of several people to tend to him, try and keep him warm and to control the traffic flow was highly commendable. In particular, at least 2 female staff from Gail's, a blonde female customer and a male cyclist who managed the traffic flow at great risk to himself.


Unfortunately the police never turned up after 30mins despite my having called them several times as the traffic was mounting up and the situation was becoming ever more serious given this and the irritation of drivers who were stuck in a traffic jam but couldn't see the accident or appreciate its seriousness


Hopefully the cyclist is generally fine and not too badly injured although it was very hard to tell. The incident was very distressing and only the fast response actions of the public made this much less serious than it already was including avoiding further injury to others.

    • It's also worth noting that heat, direct sunshine and dehydration all exacerbate the effects of alcohol on the human body. So get yourself out there and get truly spangled at a fraction of the cost.
    • Common sense does not prevail. Keep saying things that need to be heard, whether some people are bored of hearing it or not.  
    • For clarity,  since the heat seems to be getting to people - my friends in Hampshire, Essex, Cornwall tell me that the same insanity is happening there - probably in other counties to! I have in the past seen adults walking last year with  young children with no hat or to the best of my knowledge suns-cream on and idiots in Dulwich Park allowing their children or who knows maybe it is the au pair or nanny taking the kids to the park when it is over 30 degrees.. I rest my case - doesn’t matter if you have 4 feet or 2 - 4 feet suffer more as generally have a coat and no protection on their feet / 2 feet at least have foot protection. Like I said, I am just joining  the conversation - everyone has a right to their own opinion. For all you know or anyone, if a person has taken a dump might have been unwell, couldn’t find toilet in time.. numerous reasons - mental health problems, homeless whatever. Not pleasant I agree, but get a pair of rubber gloves and deal with it. We all live in the same community and in this heat with kids about, would have thought plus flies etc - do it if you live on the same street or area / people just walk past I assume and god knows how long council would take to come.  Says nothing about human nature - not my problem… seems to be the way of the world in towns these days.   
    • I don't think it's just dog-owners who are half-wits. An actual human has taken a dump in a newspaper and left it lying on CP Road. Flies are having a field day. I ought to tell the council but pity the poor person sent to clean it up.
