Cheers for the support Vince. I can also totally see RosieH's point as well. I don't hold with cars slowing down on motorways to have a good look as it causes traffic and potential for further accidents. Also, it totally freaks me out when I see people gathering around a crash when the energency services are doing their best and there are still passengers to be saved (remember seeing this in Nunhead a year ago, loads of kids watching someone be cut free covered in blood,- made me shiver). However, I didn't see much ghoulish about taking photos of the aftermath, as, as Vince points out, this is just the kind of photo we clamour to buy papers to see. One of the things I like most about the forum is the ability to get local news, as it happens.


Anyway - I'll continue to post pics I consider of interest and suitable for this forum - suggest you don't read them if you don't like them Rosie, as Vince says.

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
