I had an horrifically scary experience with my Phil & Ted's buggy on Friday that I wanted to share in case it prevents a terrible accident. I had been getting on and off the trains all day, then suddenly when I went to get off the train in Purley the front wheel fell off the buggy and under the train. The whole buggy lurched forward and down - luckily my baby was strapped in and I had the loop around my wrist so I was able to keep a hold of the buggy and stop it and my baby from following the wheel down and through the gap in the platform and under the train!! It was so scary. I wanted to let people know to be careful if you have a phil & ted buggy where the front wheel detaches. I don't know why the wheel came off suddenly. I had got on to the train and it was fine and on and off a few trains throughout the day. Perhaps the lever got caught on the edge of the train on the way out?? There was no way to get the wheel until the train pulled out, then they stopped the trains on the track in order to get the wheel off the track - I dread to think what would have happened if I didn't have the strap around my wrist.


Please be careful - I have contacted phil & ted to let them know.

Bloody hell, that must have been scary! I never felt very safe with our old P&T as they're a bugger for rolling away, and mine very nearly rolled in to a road once.


My fault for not having the wrist strap on, but that could have been a very very high price for a little oversight.

      Commercial waste Lordship Lane

      By hjt32 · Posted

      Hi All, Apologies if there have been other threads about this. I am really concerned and quite scared about vermin for those of us that live close to the high street. I know they are something we have to accept to an extent but it feels like they are currently being given a welcome and easy ride…I have recently sent the below email to Southwark council, if you feel the similarly I’d encourage you to do the same…  [email protected] if you have suggestions of others I can be in touch with please let me know… Dear Southwark Council, I live at xxxx and am seriously concerned about the way commercial shop and restaurant waste is managed on Lordship Lane high street. Most businesses put their rubbish out on the pavement at the end of the day in Southwark bin bags, which are collected the following morning.  Most mornings they have been ripped open by vermin (rats and foxes) with food waste across the pavements and a slick of oily stains. For those of us that live close to the high street there is a hygiene concern about the state of the pavements and the rats in our gardens and potentially entering and damaging our homes and cars and as well as the risks of illness.  Please advise if you will be reviewing the arrangements to move to a bin system to help with the issue?? Particularly in light of this news on the vast increase of rats in our cities:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gvk397j80o All best, Xxxx

      @Spartacus It seems a very complex subject and I have no knowledge of the places awarded money but pride of place has many more ingredients than retail.

      Internet will never replace face-to-face shopping   These  derelict  shopping centres still exist but they’re filled with crap shops  antisocial behaviour et cetera et cetera we don’t have them here that’s why we’re not getting the money

      Would you also say that the £5billion investment won't have the desired impact as shoppers prefer online ?
