I now have an update....


Brand New Guy was correct in that the car involved had been turning right out of Frogley Rd.


It was a mini cab but for possible legal reasons best not to mention the company involved.


The lady a friend of mine is very poorly. She has multiple injuries to her pelvis, hip and lower legs.

She is in intensive care and in an induced coma to aid her recovery.


She is very well known by many E.D. residents who are shocked by this incident.


Please join me in wishing here a full and swift recovery.

I cannot believe that any organisation established to serve the needs of local people would establish a system that so woefully fails to meet their needs. One) you can never see your doctor. Two) You not allowed to book in advance unless it's on Friday. They are utterly useless and not actually interested in providing a decent level of healthcare.

It worries me in that we are in an age where people should not

be in pain for long periods - but they are apparently.

I was in a life/death situation a few years ago. I too waited long for an ambulance, and had to call them twice while in distress, being for them to hurry because I was home alone with my 7 year old child who was starting to panic from what she was witnessing, it is beyond terrifying to wait in the crevasse between life and death. I would have wanted some one like the nurse from the charity shop, Save the Children by my side. I saw the accident, I saw the look in the woman's face and recognized what she was going through. I went to the charity shop and asked Ellie Hazel out for coffee, just to thank her, just to let her know that her act of compassion is truly beautiful and there are many in ED who really appreciate what she did for the injured woman. What most of you don't know is that Ellie's compassion also went out to the taxi drive who she could see was in a state of shock. After the injured woman was taken away by the ambulance, Ellie's attention turned towards the driver. She's a true humanitarian! Thank you Ellie Hazel!

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
