Someone drove into my car today while it was parked outside no 2 Fellbrigg Rd, that's the Northcross Rd end of the road, near Willow. It's dented and scratched - probably about ?200-worth of damage. I would just put this down to (bitter) experience, but just a couple of months ago I paid ?200 for the repairs after the same thing happened when it was parked on Northcross Rd. I'm really upset that I have to keep shelling out hundreds of pounds because other people won't own up to their bad driving. Did anyone see what happened?


[edited to make title more meaningful]

I saw somebody reversing out of Fellbrigg Road into Northcross Road about 10am this morning and making a real pig's ear of it, but I didn't see them hit anything and afraid I couldn't give a description of either the driver or the car because as usual I was in a world of my own :-$


The only reason I noticed was because I thought it was a dangerous thing to do.

Useful that.


I saw someone driving a car up Lordship Lane this afternoon. He/she may or may not have driven along Fellbrigg Road. I'm afraid I couldn't give a description of either the driver or the car because as usual I was in a world of my own.


A classic post.

I agree, with Brum...you've narrowed the timeframe down to 10ish so that may be helpful to others...

yeah, some drunk in a white peugeout106 on crystal palace road backed into (and damaged) my car last week.


i just think people in london dont care. im simply waiting till i see the person in the car again to get them to cough-up!!!


so looking at this example im minded to think theres some drink-driving going on at the weekedn locally. (the car in question was parked 1m onto the curb!!)


did u have white paint or black/gre6y bumper stripes left behind??

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
