Early start - trotted down to ED station for the 06.12 to London Bridge. Only to find the gates shut and locked with about 12 disgruntled passengers hanging about outside.


The bloke in the ticket office said that "I'm trying to get hold of Head Office - only they can open the gates, we cant from here" - even though the ticket office is about 10 yards from the gates. Typically about as much use as a chocolate tea-pot.


We watched the 06.12 come and go.


I got the 40 bus, a form of transport that I despise as a 2nd rate mode of transport imposed on SE London because Government cant be bothered to invest in a proper transport infra-structure for us.


Tessa of North London - having finally admitted that the 2012 Hop, Skip and jump Games are a waste of money, when are you going to focus on the transport needs of your Voters? No tram, no ELLE. SE London becomes a transport backwater for another 20 years.

I agree, MP.

When I first moved here, I was really pleased with the bus system, but now I have little time for it. The drivers are often rude, careless or even downright dangerous, paying little heed to those annoying red light thingies, for example. The amount of buses has not kept up with the number of people now living here, so the 176 can get very crowded indeed. Once on them, they are likely strewn with freesheets/Lucozade bottles/chicken bones and heated to an uncomfortable level. The 12 takes an hour, sometimes, to get from Rye Lane to Camberwell Green and is abused by free-ride seekers (not OAPs).

The contagious sickness of people crammed 9 inches away from you on all sides crying "Hughie!" simultaneously doesn't cut it for me....When this first happened I thought Mr.Green of Opportunity Knocks had got on board..:-$

    • With slightly less respect  I have  watched the 1 hour video - he said what he said and he did what he did. And his faux-wink wink “no violence people” fools no one but fools. Are you a fool?    the bbc told the truth - and it’s a straight up lie to say otherwise. Did they edit and cut to the chase to make a point? Absolutely  and correctly  he was not edited to say things he didn’t say  I cannot believe you watched the entire video and are trying to say the bbc edit somehow misrepresented what he said and Back in the real world - did the nutters who showed up at the white house materialise because of a bbc edit ffs - have some self respect and recognise what’s going on 
    • Friends and family in the 'States always say how wonderful it is to be in Britain and see our news coverage.  It's all partisan out there. The BBC manages to simultaneously p off the left and the right so must be doing something right.
    • From the BBC: "The conclusion of that deliberation is that we accept that the way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action. The BBC would like to apologise for that error of judgement." What is wrong is editing someone to make him say something they didn't.  With respect Sephiroth, this is something I know a bit about and I have encountered, over the last decade, people in programming editing contributors to make them say things they didn't, the end point being to hang them out to dry. It's happening more and more and it's my job to make sure that people on TV are not mis-represented, but shown in their true light so that viewers can make up their own minds. You have no idea what goes on behind the scenes and how hard some us fight to keep things impartial.  It's also worth mentioning that I have personally lost work because of Trump suing US networks, and that's one of the lesser reasons why I'd like to see him gone.  But broadcasters have a moral obligation to tell the truth and that's the hill that most decent professionals in the industry are willing to die on. Otherwise, how can the viewing public trust anything that's beamed into their living rooms? 
    • Amazing work from Leon, doing out electrical survey and replacing our consumer board. Great communications, tidy work, reliable friendly and reasonably priced. A pleasure to have around and highly recommended.
