A guy got on the 40 this morning and sat down on the outside seat in front of me, leaving the inner seat empty. At the next stop another passenger pleasantly indicated he'd like to sit down on the empty seat only to be greeted with an incredulous look. The seated guy looked round with a sour expression, clearly thinking he should sit somewhere else. He eventually swivelled round leaving not quite enough room to get past so the other passenger stumbled as he tried to manoeuvre into the seat. Mr Sourface had no luggage, wasn't disabled and the bus was going to fill up at the next few stops anyway...it would have taken a few seconds to get up and let the other passenger sit down. If you are so self important that you can't bear to sit next to your fellow commuters then get a taxi...

    • Hopefully, they won't wash the changing room mats poolside in future so the filters won't be overworked keeping the water clean!!!
    • I agree with your sentiment, however you are mistaken about the Dulwich Estate. Their sole purpose is to make as much money as possible to give to the schools they support, as well as the almshouses and other historical buildings. They do not care about social housing (except subsidised housing for teachers of the schools), refreshing the area, low-rent studios, charming but affordable pub, etc. While they are a charity, their purpose is very constrained/focused and whatever they do with this site, it has to make money for them. It's not that they're being nasty or stingy, it's just what their statutes tell them they have to do. Note that I am not defending them, but knowing the above helps understand why they do what they do, even if sometimes it seems to go against the wishes of the local community. They are not answerable to the local community, and their only oversight is the charity commission and the courts. And of course, like all bureaucracies (esp those with limited oversight), they look after themselves very well. 
    • Perhaps responses are made by DM?
    • Posting for a friend. Missing from The Gardens.   Amazingly found after 2 days just as I posted.  My powers are better than I thought!!!!
