I was once evicted from Streatham Ice Rink during a Redskins game because I'd had the audacity to take my own beverage, in this case, a bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label, of which I drank from copiously. The fact I was also hideously drunk on arrival is neither here nor there. Barstewards!

There's an NFL reporter on UK radio who refuses to call the Redskins by their name as he considers it racist. Which is why there may be a name change as it's not just him who thinks so. Perhaps if Streatham go the same way they could think of something more suited to being a South London team.

It's definitely not just him. There are quite a few newspapers and TV outlets in the US also refusing.


There is the debate about why the Kansas City Chiefs whose (majority white) fanbase don feathered headgear and do a tomahawk chop after TDs don't seem to come in for the same.

      Car crashed into lamp post opposite coop , I hope no one was hurt ?

      I will buy you a frothy coffee from anywhere you like on Lordship Lane if that happens. Most of these costs never get recovered from the drivers that caused them. The photo shows a car that's been left on the zigzags protecting the crossing. Pedestrians crossing East to West and drivers heading South won't see each other until the pedestrians are in the road. That is a dangerous position to leave a car in. (I don't know if it's stil there, obviously).

      Seems a pretty dangerous position to me - apart from getting in the way of pedestrians trying to cross the road large vehicles heading south have to edge into the oncoming traffic lane to get past. I've got a normal-sized car and had to squeeze through a gap the other day.

      When a car is left damaged by the road-side it may be that the insurer is tasked with recovering the vehicle to assess it and (possibly) take it for repair. Only if it is in a dangerous position will the police recover it - which saves money for the tax-payer.  You may also have some recovery options with e.g. the AA (other organisations are available). Were the car to have been stolen or abandoned then it will take some time to sort this out, and again unless the vehicle is in a dangerous position the police won't be rushing to deal with that. Not sure who the 'they' are in this case.

      I wouldn't like to speculate, Sue. Not my thing. Teddy Boy is your man on the ground for that sort of first-hand detail. It's six points for driving without insurance and six points for using a phone, so that's an automatic ban of at least six months. They're going to be practically uninsurable for a considerable period after that. So, nobody's hurt, a clearly crap driver is off the road for some time and the good burghers of SE22 get a lovely, shiny new post - probably paid for by the driver. Every cloud, and that. If only Franklins wasn't changing hands, Lordship Lane would be almost perfect.
