I guess but my experience is much more in line with JohnL and HPSaucy. I always help though so it might be that those who help don't feel like people are left struggling. People always helped me on the rare occasions I was alone as well so I am just surprised its a prob

Em for some

I always get offers of help at Peckham Rye when I'm there with a buggy, it leaves me with the warm fuzzies. I do find it a bit awkward though, when someone helps you up/down the first lot of stairs, and then ends up obliged to help with the second set.


I offer help to others when I'm without kids, and Mr Pickle assures me he does the same.

Actually the last time I was in Lewes, a member of staff rushed to help me on the train. It wasn't even necessary but I was terribly impressed.


Also, to be fair, I have been helped a lot at Peckham Rye - but yes, sometimes by women, and often by suited men who I think may well have sprogs at home.

First stair fine, I'm going the other way and have 3 mins. I leave you hangin. Feel bad.

So somebody disagrees with me, therefore I am complaining about nothing? Whatever.


Luckily, lifts are due to be installed. By 2019.

Okay, take offence at me disagreeing with you then.


I was genuinely shocked people find this a problem on the scale being reported by some as I?ve lived in the area for 10 years and use Peckham Rye regularly and always got / get help and always see people getting help. May it depends on what time of day you are using the station?

I tried to help an old woman with her shopping in Clapham once and she started edging back and shouting at me. Clearly she was mad and it was a bad choice for me on whom to start my good Samaritan apprenticeship on.


I do help as often as I can but some people have huge suitcases. A motto for travel might be: if you cant carry it yourself don't bring it.

Some people just don't see themselves as old and in need of help.


She probably thought you were going to take it all :)

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
