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!

    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
