Footballers do it all the time on the pitch. yuk

AbbieP are you a youngish woman with a bawling child in a buggy, a phone clamped to your ear, a shouted conversation on the go, and rushing as perpetually late and anywhere near North Cross Road, and can you tut over the decibel level? please avoid a collision with this normal paced pavement user who is not as important as your self.

Alternatively avoid NCR and CPR.

I've noticed families of these pavement hoggers. It's a handed down skill, as is being aware of what's around you and letting others by.


Usually practiced by the generally gormless, often on Saturdays. I'm often envious of those who live in a bubble, oblivious to the world around them.

Slow, lazy too kool for skool Oyster swipers. Too achingly cool to glance down to see if they are actually going to open the gate, then hold everyone up as the gates don't open. Wont stand back as instructed, and frantically rub their Oyster over the pad.


Those guys.

When I am waiting around waiting for someone and they turn up not just 5 or 10 mins late but 45 mins late, and not bothering to phone or text to say they are running late. Then they proceed to tell me a cock and bull story. It doesn't make for a good evening.
More a cause for concern than rage: unsafe Deliveroo cyclists. Tonight I even saw one go through the Calton Ave/DV junction, traffic lights on red, no front light, barely visible rear light, huge delivery box slung across his back rather than secured properly to the bike, WHILE HOLDING A VIDEO CALL ON HIS PHONE, earplugs in, repeatedly turning sideways to look at the screen. Accident waiting to happen.

Not tiny or irrational.


I was driving behind someone yesterday evening who was having a video call whilst driving. Phone was on one of those windscreen sucker mounting things and you could quite clearly see the person on the screen talking. FFS surely this is an instant ban if caught?

Not sure which of the two is worse. The guy on the bike was laughing and holding his arm outstretched to the side, presumably to give the other person a better view of him. Maybe it's time for bikes to have number plates.

If there'd been a copper there s/he could have gone after him and nicked him anyway, without a copper in situ what good would a plate do? You could take the number and report them, and I guarantee they'll do nothing at all, as I discovered when I tried to report a guy who'd caused me to skid and hit the tarmac on Tower Bridge road by driving through a red light while on his mobile - felt like I was going to be nicked for wasting police time!

Filling in some online form which requires you to select your dob. The fecking year of mine seems to be getting further away all the time. Why can't the first option be the average age so one can scroll up or down? Ageism I tell you,ageism!

    • Really don’t  know why people don’t sell their property by them selves…or at least start that way… not difficult if a freehold house, might be  more complicated if leasehold flat but with a good solicitor doing his work, should be fine. With many people using internet, plenty of people put  looking and numerous  other ways to reach target audience. Was a relocation agent for  years both in sales and letting through London and home  counties.. ie acquiring properties for individuals. Same goes for rental/ letting agents.. tenancy agreements are standard, totally agree that various laws governing terms  are updated but nowadays the majority of estate agents in letting and I assume sales  belong to a recognised body so really one can let oneself. Tenancies are free on line or can be purchased for a nominal sum. What do they do for their commission in both instances? Introduce tenant or buyer, in theory check out references and produce a tenancy agreement, agree amendments, sign by both parties, collect deposit and rent. Organise inventory check in and that is it. And then if you decide to pay them for management of property an additional fee in the hope that they will use approve contractors for all repairs in a suitable time frame for tenant. Was a post earlier or towards last year not sure on here or Facebook covering this point and lack of management from agent for months. I hasten to add that not all sales or rental agents behave in this manner but certainly some in good old ED. was definitely a posting about a well known agent in the village who was “slow” concerning the above. From memory, change if staff and just got buried…in my book totally unacceptable excuse. That is why they have managers in each estate agent to overseas and stay abreast of sales and lettings. Can’t pass the buck…and most companies irrespective of type of industry have a leaving policy and hand over policy produced normally by HR..Same could be said for consultants in  new build sales but normally they are  responsible and accountable from start to finish ie monitoring sale  the whole way, have to produce weekly reports to head office  plus  follow up on all enquiries. Been their as well over my career.
