You amble up to the pedestrian crossing and I stop, because i'm preempting your move, even though you're not paying attention. And then you amble slowly-slowly without looking, whilst poking your phone screen, taking your time, you looking up and then carrying on, all slowly-slowly


Oh yeah, just so you know, i've mentally dumped the clutch and poked the throttle to run you over


Same goes for you riding wrong way up the one way street, your brake free bike with the cut-down handlebars


And you 'militant pedestrian' stepping off the kerb way before the zebra crossing, with that defiant "run me over on a crossing would you look"

Yep, you're over the bonnet too

Are you referring to your buggy (the type that occassionally transports young children or even shopping, sometimes the odd pair of shoes) driving skills/mentality?

In that instance Al, they'll just get a light sideswiping, to liven them up and knock the silly grin off their faces

Wow, disturbing - Are there any particular roads where you are planning your reign of terror? Just so I know to avoid them on my fixed gear bike with the shortened handlebars... and my silly grin because I was daft enough to choose an enjoyable mode of transport...

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
