I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses?

They have closed the pool changing rooms? Temporarily or permanently? Why? I want to start swimming there again, but everything I seem to read lately about the pool really puts me off 😭

I am also quite confused about what actually happened and how it came about.

Well I don't know, and nor do you. Sitting MPs change their parties.

Yes, that's completely true, which of course is another reason why changing the 40 route in the first place was a very bad idea.

I trust people who act according to their convictions regardless of what other people might think. I don't trust people who stick with things which no longer feel right for them. I was once a fully paid up member of the Labour party, and went to local meetings. Along with a number of other people I know, I left the Labour party and no longer go to local meetings. The Labour party has moved a long way to the right, and the Green party now represents much of what Labour used to stand for. I don't think "political rivalry" has anything to do with it. I find that a very strange choice of words.

We may never know, but does it actually matter?

I just got this email this morning. Surely they should have been aware of this need before they changed the 40 route. However for those in East Dulwich within easy reach of East Dulwich station, the train is a quick and easy option to get to Guys. Once at London Bridge, it's just down the escalator by the Shard and then a very short walk.

I don't know whose idea in the Lib Dems it was to put round a flyer saying that James' radical Marxist (in red caps) views are "at odds with East Dulwich and Goose Green residents", plus a load of ridiculous alarmist b******s. They may like to know that putting this round has had the opposite effect on me to that presumably intended. In local elections I usually vote for individuals who I think will do a good job rather than voting for particular parties, but as far as I am concerned the Lib Dems have shot themselves in the foot with the contents of this flyer, because I shan't be voting for any of them.

Oh no! 😭

I'd be interested to know how else you award points when deciding what party to vote for!

We can but hope!

Yes, but as you said "at last" you had found a good reason not to vote for the greens, I wondered why you would want one. Plus it seemed (to me, at least) a very strange reason and didn't seem to have anything to do with the party's policies.

Why would you have to look for "a good reason to not vote for the greens"? What a very strange thing to say. Would you like to explain your logic?

Yes I agree, that's why I specifically said "re the wildlife"!
