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).

    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
