They do often have very small turning circles (is that the correct term?) though. Many many moons ago I won a very long Volvo estate car. It could get into a space not much longer than itself, which was impressive!

Malumbu, if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone he apparently did not give them any kind of warning d) a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post? f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.

Seems to be a lot of victim blaming going on here. Clearly a four year old child should not be riding a bike on a pavement out of sight of the adult who is supposed to be caring for him. Also clearly if the child ran into somebody from behind, he is not ready to be riding a bike in a place where people may be walking. Quite apart from the adult who in this case could have been badly hurt, so could the child. I wonder how those people on here asking how it was handled would have reacted if it had been them? All sweetness and light and apologies for having had the temerity to get in the way of the child? I'm pretty sure I would have been extremely shocked and annoyed.

Excellent news! I googled and came up with a thread from this forum about Jamie being forced out. I had posted the link, but when I read the thread I didn't think it was appropriate to post because It was started by Dulwich Fox, who sadly died last year (R.I.P.), and contained comments by and to him which were not relevant to the actual closure.

Surely there would be no point doing it at the terminus, because nobody would be getting on a bus in that direction there? They would only be getting off Whereas some people might well be wanting a bus to go one to seven stops.

So do I! ❤️

I've got no wish to discuss this again. I've already given my views on a previous thread in the lounge. I take it you won't be voting Green, but I'm wondering quite where you are coming from with all these attacks on them? Where do your political sympathies lie? This thread was supposed to be about James McAsh's move away from Labour 🙄 Anyway, it is hopefully another nice day and I'm off to do some gardening.

Yes! Oh dear. I guess all you can do is feel sorry for them and be glad you are not like that.

I'm sure one can always find things which a party or an individual within it could have done better or shouldn't have said. If one was going to use those things as a reason not to support the party, one would never support any party, and would never vote. So far as I am concerned, the Greens represent my views on most issues better than any other party that I am currently aware of. I really am not interested in dissecting the details of one or two specific instances, for many reasons, not least that I have no direct knowledge of them and don't know what may be a reliable source.

I joined the Greens yesterday. I'm now a paid up member.

Hooray! I hope it survives this year!

Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a white (?cabbage white?) butterfly. It's awfully early, isn't it?

To be fair, whilst it's obviously extremely annoying to be stuck on a bus whose service is being regulated, if tfl didn't do this, people would still be complaining because they would wait ages for a bus and then several would arrive at once. Traffic conditions may vary for all sorts of reasons, some which can be predicted in advance but also some which can't, and if a bus catches up with the one in front but the one behind it is on its predicted schedule, there would be a very long gap between the second and third buses.

Is there a fault code showing on your boiler? Surely they wouldn't all stop working at once due to all of them needing bleeding? Btw I just this evening had a problem with my boiler (no heating or hot water), and ChatGPT talked me through a fix. But if you can't sort it, I highly recommend Tommy Rooney https://www.trooneyheating.co.uk/ ETA: Oh. Just noticed the OP was two weeks ago, so probably it is sorted by now.

Do you mean they are chopping branches from trees in your garden? I would definitely get advice on that eg from the neighbourhood police. I'm not familiar with the law, but that sounds like trespass to me, even if they are not actually standing in your garden. People are entitled to chop off branches etc which are overhanging their own garden, but I am pretty sure they are not allowed to lean over and chop off anything in yours, whether they dislike it or not.
