Major pain getting home tonight


Blackfriar's road was shut from Farringdon to Southwark Tube, took an age to be diverted around Waterloo and then the bus terninated at Peckham Library...


Nice


Then wait for another bus, making an at best 60 minute journey last 90+ mins


That's OK if you have Jeremy Clarkson to look forward to - not so great if you need to get home to the wife and kiddies

'oh well never mind the shooting just the inconvenience to commuters'


i wasn't trying to down play the seriousness of a shooting. Sorry if it came across like that


last time i mentioned travel disruption in the 'general' forum because of a fire in a camberwell estate (in which people died) the msg got 'lounged'. So to keep on topic (i.e. transport) i didn't want emphasise the shooting bit....


I also agree you can walk - but i thought it would be useful to those who maybe can't walk or could easily take an alternative route..


it was just meant to be a helpful post for those travelling home yesterday.

The message was a big help to me yesterday as well - thanks R&A - the road was still closed at 6:30 so I popped across to Waterloo and my journey time wasn't affected at all really


The bus driver was at pains to point out to everyone on the south side of Blackfriars bridge about the problems and that the bus would be diverting so anyone who wanted to get off now should get off now - and only when the bus turned down towards Waterloo did everyone look up and start shouting at the poor fella. You can lead a horse to water etc...

R&A my walking comment wasn't directed at you. It's helpful to know when there are travel problems.

My comment was more about those who complain such events. It happens, no point getting grrr over the things you have no control over,

Don't be put off by past responses on other threads. You did good here :))

      Aroma Lab

      By apocalypsedreams · Posted

      I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!

      Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter.

      Franklins is being sold

      By Sue · Posted

      So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
