Sorry, Louisa, don't know types/styles/makes of prams. I'm a bit of a golden oldie now and wouldn't know the first thing about them, other than it had four wheels ( I know some only have three) and had a child in it.


Hey, I've inadvertainly contradicted myself!!!

Just because someone finds something irritating doesn't mean it's their most pressing concern. Weird - perhaps wallyish - idea !

Sometimes I just 'opt out' if there's a group coming towards me taking up the pavement like the 'Magnificent Seven' and obviously going to carry on that way - I just stand still and let them sort themselves out around me. Stops them 'messin with my zen thing'.

lol often felt like doing this myself. It happens all the time on corner of Barry & P.Rye. They come off the road onto the pavement & don't get back on the road till they reach the crossing of P.Rye & ED Rd. Drives me mad!

I've come across selfish cyclists on the pavement, one chap, with a Camera attached to his helmet mind, forced a woman with a young toddler out onto the road because he refused to get off and move in a little and wait. Shocking behaviour. My street etiquette is spot on when it comes to moving out the way for disabled, disadvantaged or much older folk.

I walk and run around London a lot. I just can't believe that you have cyclists pass you on the pavement twice a week.

I would estimate around 3/4 times a week in Camberwell/Denmark Hill, as with Nigello 1/2 times a week in Peckham/ED increasing to a staggering 5/6 times a week if I venture further into town which is rare these days, but when I did it was constant. Suffice to say, I didn't happen to me once in the Grove Park area of Bromley.

Ah, but how many fatties did you have to negotiate in Grove Park

RRR - Today, Herne Hill at around 1600; last Wednesday, Old Vic; week last Saturday, N X Road (with baby in papoose around neck; fortnight ago, The Cut.... It happens a lot, and I always challenge them (and often get dull, predictable invective back: when people know they're wrong they tend to turn nasty).

    • As a slight woman in my mid 60's who's an avid walker I find these reports really upsettting and to be honest they put me off the idea of walking around the area for relaxation and pleasure like I used to. Most disturbing is the report of them threatening to kill someones dog and trying to kick it- I'm streetwise having been born and brought up in Notting Hill long before it was gentrified, and I lived in NYC for awhile in the 80's but there was'nt this senseless nastiness attacking and intimidating people for 'sport' that there seems to be now. Not long ago I had two females on a 185 bus just pushing me and cussing me for no reason whatsover-I confronted them about it and they carried on and started threatening to kill me...I honestly have no idea why. probably Just trying to intimidate me..another passenger advised me to get off because he could see they were jabbing me in the side and pushing me around-I did get off and realised I was actually really shaken up and scared they'd followed me. I dont know why there is so much anger and hatred in the world it saddens me.
