It annoys me too but I can envisage situations where it might be deemed necessary e.g waiting for a skip or moving van.

I hate people at pedestrian crossings that continuously press the button as if the lights are going to change quicker for them.


Also when waiting for a lift when people have seen you press the button, they press it again. Or even if they don't see you press the button, do they think you are that stupid to just stand there without pressing it so they feel the urge to press the button anyway!!

RE The wheelybins, you could just move them back on to the pavement. I would. It's a liberty.


RE the crossibgs, at many crossibfs the button doesn't actually do anything, it's just there to give people the sense that the traffic will be stopped at some point.

Benugo. We have a captive one at work and they put huge amounts of salt and/or cream in almost everything. They actually add salt to their ham sandwiches as 'it's part of the recipe' - there's already salt in the bread, the ham, the mustard and the mayonnaise, and then they add a big pinch on top.

buying "expensive" ones are just as bad... minus the justification "well they were cheap what did I expect"

    • 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.
