Is that true? What happened in the end, then?


I passed by there around that time (on foot, luckily) and there was a queue of traffic right down the road with two cars head to head apparently unable to move.


I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often round here, it's like driving down a one-track country lane in many roads where cars are parked both sides and no room to pass something coming in the other direction.


Did somebody just refuse to reverse out of the way?

It is crazy around here...I have a small car and the only time I go down the back roads is at the last minute to get to my house because 4x4s and people carriers come down and NEVER give way even if they turn into a road and you are already there. There is no reason why they cannot wait at the end.

My daughter was in this situation and the wing mirrors of both cars were knocked- my daughter said let's forget it knock for knock but the other person said she was phoning the cops and after 10 minutes a belligerent big bloke turned up- so my daughter got in her car and cleared out....

    • Thanks for the response and to some who PM’d me. I’m now included on the Patient Participation Group (meeting next in Dec) so I’m going to feed back the comments here, good and bad. Update today to PPG members is that, as some of you have said, there is a new contact in place with GP practices with effect from 1 Oct. That appears to be the driver for some of the changes we’ve seen at The Gardens. From the responses here, though, patients might be getting an inconsistent message from the Surgery; I was definitely told that appointments must be made through the app, and only the app. It was only when I expressed concern that a strictly online service would not be suitable for all, that I was told by the receptionist that she could complete the request for me (or others if needed). Even then, then patients would need to await a text from the Practice. Perhaps we are just teething problems with the new provision…Happy to bring any and all comments to the PPG meeting (although I’m aware that the most digitally-excluded people probably aren’t on EDF!) Thanks folks.

    • Went to a fireworks display maybe 20 years ago at the Crystal Palace, it wasn't bonfire night, can't remember why it was being held, Capital Radio were there. There were people hanging from a crane, classical music, and quiet fireworks,  It was lovely, still dramatic with the colours but no loud bangs. Not sure why this hasn't become the norm.
