  1. Proving my point there. 🎩
  2. My irony-o-meter just exploded with that last comment.
  3. Sometimes things are none of our business and it's vulgar to be a nosey parker.
  4. Oh God not this shit again. 4 years you lot have been moaning about a side road being closed and nothing is ever good enough.
  5. It's open later on Friday nights too, and is a nice little spot that serves alcohol
  6. This is, of course, complete bullshit, as anyone who actually reads the OP can tell. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/352811-unbelievable-destruction-west-norwood-marble-fountain-demolished/ You should get some kind of award for this comment. The crashes are too regular but also not regular? Brilliant. This is Olympic- standard sealioning. Guaranteed gold at Los Angeles 2028. 🥇
  7. Absolutely. So far, we have had a load of toss about whether 30,000 is or isn't "tens of thousands", whether a weekly occurrence is regular or not, some rubbish about how it can't be careless driving if you didn't intend to hit anything, and at least three different attempts to resurrect unrelated arguments from other threads. It's all bad faith pedantry. Hard to know whether it's intended to distract from the substantive issue or just hot air.
  8. If I'm using the settings correctly, the crash map from the last 5 years at the West Norwood location in question is pretty striking. So many crash icons it almost obscures the junction...
  9. "The term ‘road accident’ exemplifies society’s tolerance of road danger. Too many still do not hold drivers accountable for their actions, implying instead it was a matter of chance. By using the word ‘accident’ – society is saying that there is nothing that can be done about these deaths and injuries, and they are an acceptable pay off for having motor vehicles. Planes and trains do not have ‘accidents’ – they crash." https://www.roadpeace.org/working-for-change/crash-not-accident/
  10. In 2021, the last period for which data is available, someone in Southwark was injured in a hit and run crash almost every day (351 per annum). The number of people injured in hit and run crashes in London doubled between 2011 and 2021. Every day, 2 of those injuries are fatal or serious. But maybe none of these hit and run drivers were careless or dangerous drivers either. Maybe they were all taking evasive action to avoid a pedestrian walking into the road whilst staring at their phone - you just don't know. https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-01/Hit and run the escalating crisis on London roads - January 2024 Caroline Russell Report.pdf
  11. Annual outbreak - clocks going back + some teenage boy psychology that's beyond me. Police work hasn't stopped entirely. SNT organised more patrols and visible presence until the group responsible was arrested.
  12. 7 storeys + a service floor is the same as 8 storeys without a service floor. It overlooks a school playing field. No-one is complaining about the existing building or suggesting it has rUiNeD tHe NeIgHbOuRhOoD
  13. ...and this time last year the Safer Neighbourhood Team organised exactly that when there was the annual outbreak of this kind of robbery...
