I keep on getting calls from far away places claiming to represent "accident helpline" or similar.


Whilst I could report them, it would do little as they originate "out of area"


However I am now cataloging responses from people when they get the calls


So far I have heard the following:


"Oh thank god you called, I had an accident only the other day, it was the morning after a night out which got a bit messy to be honest, and after 10 pints of lager and a really hot chicken vindaloo I woke up the next day and had an accident in the car..." "Really sir what happened and who was to blame". "Well I blame myself really, god it was horrible, I can still see it now, but I just turned out of the drive when I followed through..." "Sorry sir but what do you mean 'followed through'" "You know man, I took a dump in my pants" ....."click, brrrrr"



"Oh thank god you called, I was walking through work the other day and they were cleaning the floor in reception, and I didn't see a notice, before I knew it my legs went out from under me and I broke my arm". "Sir I think you have a good case here, can I take some notes, who was the company involved". "Accident helpline, I work there on telesales, can I really use you to get compensation from the company you represent". "Click, brrrrr"


There must be more ?

    • What a ridiculous plan. If this is to stop traffic "cutting through" where do they think it is now going to "cut through" via? Has the council produced any data on the scale of the problem on Ryedale - anything to back up their hypothesis? You cannot do these things in isolation as all it does is displaces traffic elsewhere. Dunstans is going to become awful - I feel for the residents there. Councils should not be allowed to implement these experimental TMOs, they are clearly using them to circumvent proper planning and engagement. Has anyone contacted the local councillors about this? The laughable thing was the local ward councillors were concerned about displacement from the wider Dulwich LTNs on their ward so is this an indirect acknowledgement that they are being impacted?  Ridiculous.  
    • I would never leave my dog tied up outside a shop nowadays. A large proportion of ‘dogs stolen’ notices feature dogs nicked from outside shops- fancy dogs, old dogs, mongrels , all sorts. Stolen on a whim, for mischief, for profit or as a bait dog to train fighters. A thief might abandon them shortly afterwards, but the heartbreak and confusion is already done and a reunion not guaranteed.
    • It's a terrible idea, will damage trade in Forest Hill Road and is just creating a nice private road for someone to enjoy. Congestion in the road is caused mainly by delivery vans, well, let's help stamp out those scourges. And an 18 month trial is at least a year too long if you are just interested in judging impact. And there has been no consultation at all, save, perhaps, with the privileged Rydale-ers. I live a block away in Underhill and I've heard only via social media.
