How often are you distracted?

While working in this website all that you see is the written word, or att. Pictures.

How often are you engrossed in sending a message or answering one, with the Television going in the background.

A certain advert is blasted out by a well known booming person, that distracts you from your computer.

How many others would love a button that when pushed would show that person the mid air after the explosion under his seat?

Am I the only person to think this.

CS, good to see you posting.

TV/radio/stereo can be a distraction at times, but it's up to YOU to turn the darned thing off !!

However, I'd like such a button for cold-callers at my front door, perhaps a trap door to a snake pit or an ejector paving slab which will catapault them a couple of blocks away !

Computed - did you know a lady, Evelyn, at 199 Crystal Palace Rd ?

It was a clock makers (her Father) at time of, and after, WWII. I believe she has a brother, she's around 82 now.

She told me a story about the bomb that landed behind the pub nearby and all the ceilings in her house came down.

When she was telling me this I wondered if you'd known her when you lived in ED.

    • You could apply the same argument to any kind of penalty as an effective deterrent.  Better than doing nothing. 
    • Check the link I provided above. It’s gives a very full account of where the push for LTNs came from, (in brief, central government). The consultation did not show that the majority of local residents were against LTN. Not for the first time, you’ve confused a ‘consultation’ with a ‘referendum’. 
    • Rockets said: "Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway" This.   
    • LTNs were pushed by the Conservative government (as was ULEZ). They were one of several active travel measures which were a condition of the TFL funding settlement post Covid.  £69m of direct borough funding (per year) was also provided to support more localised investment in walking and cycling schemes across the city and to accelerate the roll-out of LTNs…but we all know that Boris Johnson and grant shapps are secret commies 🤣 I’ve no idea. I do know that people are covering their plates and driving through, and that’s probably an accident waiting to happen (although clearly down to signage 🤣). The emergency services have agreed the changes, so I would assume that on balance they think it’s the right move. Whilst ‘One’ are suggesting the emergency services have agreed the changes under pressure, they wont say what sort of pressure, or who it’s coming from 🤔. Perhaps it’s the commies again 🤣😂
