Admin - can you do me a favour and lock or delete this? Much appreciated.

I must remind myself not to post on here so freely. Some of your remarks are just ridiculous. A 50/50 case? Do you actually live in the real world? If you don't know what you are talking about then I suggest you keep those didgets from the keyboard. Traffic lights were red and there is a queue of cars, I've stopped with enough gap for person to cross the road. Then bang, yes I can see how that was half my fault. And as for how the old bill will regard my behaviour for chasing him up a one-way street, well, I don't really care much what they think. And it was the very short one way bit at the start of Friern Road and he was creating a path as he was in front. Yes, next time I will just remember the number plate with my photographic memory and being able to read it backwards in my mirror within the space of 2 seconds. Good idea, thanks for that one. Then what if it is a stolen car? Sorry MisterM, it was a stolen car and you will have to wait 12 years to get fifteen pounds from a special fund. In the meantime if you just pay your own excess and keep quiet like a good little citizen. As you might just be able to tell I am a bit wound up. I'm only in a courtesy car because my own car was written off by a Hungarian artic lorry driver who lost concentration and completely squashed my car. I was not about to be stitched up again by this arsehole, hence the chase. I won't be posting again for any kind of support. This is not directed to everyone who replied on this thread of course.

I telephoned the police - now that I do have his details they said no offence has been committed! I said not even any kind of repremand and they said no, nothing. Perhaps I'll rob a bank and if I get caught I'll just give them the money back then surely "no offence has been committed" and I will get away scott free.

This was a bit more than a shunt. His bonnet ended up folded up and my bumper is smashed in. As for injury, I am surprised how much the impact has hurt my neck. Yeah, yeah. I hear you cry, all for the sake of a claim but 'tis true. Sympathy from my gf???? No chance, got to go, I'm cooking dinner tonight :))

A long shot but worth a go - Outside the dry cleaners next to The Plough, saturday night 4th Nov at about 5.15pm a green Peugeot 306 crashed into the back of me while I was letting someone cross the road, just before the traffic lights. He then proceeded to drive off. Ten mins of chasing later I managed to catch him. We were going up one-way streets the wrong way and everything. There was no way I was going to let him get away. I was actually driving a courtesy car after having my own car written off by another driver of similar skills. Anyway, exchanged details etc but I am really after anyone seeing it stepping forward. It is pretty much a cut and dry case and you probably wouldn't even be contacted but I am so cross with this idiot that I just want my side of things solid as possible. For anyone wondering what his excuse was as to why he didn't stop? He didn't have one and didn't kow why he did it. Kept on saying sorry but more like sorry I chased and caught him. So be careful people - have your wits about you at all times.

WOOF (?)

Another good word from me on BBC. Used to use the one in Battersea alot and now the one in Clapham. Absolutely love it and I personally think it blows away any other 'regular' Indian I've had. But agreed, we didn't need another curry house. Those and estate agents must be 30% of the flippin Lane. Babur in afore mentioned Brockley is excellent too.

Had a stroll along the market today and happened to bump into the market trader guy. I asked him how you went about having a stall there and he answered to apply via the coucil website but warned me of a 6 YEAR WAITING LIST! He said there were rough plans to extend the market quite considerably and maybe even pedestrianise the road to allow for the expansion. I am just starting off my company of my own handmade, unusual coffee tables, mirrors etc and thought a stall would be a great testing ground to show some pieces.

Balloon anyone? If only there were enough to float away the simple looking bint holding them and offering them to children today on the Lane. I've only lived here just over a year but hate Fuxtons (oops typo) being here and so obviously too. Visiting friends think it's a bar. So OTT and cliche'd it's ridiculous.
