Hi mattindulwich18, I hope this thread has answered your question. What might happen next is that as the thread has gone off topic and is getting "chatty" so The Administrator may step in and move it to the Lounge area, you may have seen the word "Lounged" mentioned elsewhere on the site.


It usually happens when someone drops into a thread something along the lines that East Dulwich was better 100 years/10 years/1 year ago when there were no babies (and accompanying prams) around, everyone was poor but incredibly happy, the pubs were just perfect, all the shops were open and selling only things you needed and people in Clapham stayed in Clapham. There's also a few who just drop something like the aforementioned into conversation just to wind people up.


Sorry, gone off topic haven't I :-$

If using Cleethorpes as shorthand for "a land far far away" from ED is a problem for you then I am happy to use my hometown (Cork) as a substitute. When I were a lad we didn't even know what a Mexican restaurant or Italian Shoe was, much less be envious of those towns that did have them



And Mockney - you have already been told off for using emoticons as a cheap substitute for good writing - sort it ! (6)

For all of you who are sick of ED, I highly recommend a holiday home in Burnley, Lancs. Plenty of authentic pound shops, a Gala Bingo, Lidl and the highlight of the town centre.......a new Job Centre. Food options are chips, rank kebabs, and All You Can Eat Whippets. Not forgetting the memorable trip to Turf Moor Football ground to see the Clarets and eat a Baltic Chicken Pie with free salmonella guaranteed. Local pastimes include hanging out at the bus station, and betting on how many fights you will see in town on a Saturday night.


3 bed terraced houses from only ?40k (a steep increase from the ?15k they were a few years back, mind). I am sure there are a few locals who would consider a Cultural Exchange.


Yours


A Burnley Girl.

    • No one is arguing that people should cycle without lights or reflectors. Obviously they should. It is also a legal requirement. But the colour of someone’s clothing? Is it ok to wear navy? What about green? What shade? At what point should we have ‘no reason for sympathy’ if they’re in a collision? I don’t want people to feel like they need special clothes just to walk or cycle. If you have lights and reflectors and you’re on well lit city streets, there is no reason why drivers shouldn’t be able to see you, assuming of course, that they're driving with due care and attention. But yes, if there are lots of people without lights, that should be addressed. I suspect in part, it's the change over in seasons and the fact that people are getting caught out by how early it's getting dark now (obviously no excuse).

    • What a passionate thread this is. I have worked in cycling for years, am a cyclist, a driver, use public transport etc. Driving last night with my two young kids, who also cycle, we made the same observations. It was the kids who first asked me why are most cyclists wearing full black and no lights. We then played a game who can spot all the cyclists, and count those with lights and those without. This teaches them to look out for them but also not to put themselves in a position where we have to strain to find them. 
    • On the plus side showers are warm down - for now 😆
