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).

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying.
