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!

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
