Think the OP's referring to Kate Ford, actress and woman of this parish, being reprimanded a couple of days ago for tweeting a picture of the schoolrun gridlock from her car, from the look of it up near the South Circ end of the village. There's been a lot of news coverage this week about the huge numbers of people who still phone, text or check emails while driving.


Yesterday I ended up shouting at several myself, particularly the driver of a huge Boots lorry who was looking at his phone in traffic by Lambeth Bridge as I had to cycle across in front of him and it was clear he wasn't looking despite revving his engine.

One of Victoria Wood's characters points out that it can take several days for the sperm to fertilise the egg, so you could think you conceived after a romantic dinner on a Thursday but the moment might actually be while waiting for the checkout at B&Q on Sunday morning.

    • MSN is an aggregator. Not a news source   the source is a Nick Gutteridge article in the Telegraph so, closer to reform than BBC   (I would question BBC news reliability these days mind you) It would be difficult to describe gutteridge as objective.  But it would be easy to claim he is frequently wrong, bordering on bonkers   https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/n/nf-nj/nick-gutteridge/ There is no physical reality where, as we run out of fossil fuels and turn to whatever will replace them, where existing fossil fuels don’t become more expensive  not this country, not any country - you might see some short term ups and downs as politics plays its part - but to whine about your political enemies tackling the dwindling fossil fuels is both childish and playing with people’s lives
    • I popped in to have a chat with them and a look around after I'd eaten somewhere else so didn't sample anything, but they seemed to have plenty of staff so hopefully service won't be too slow! Planning to try soon. 
    • My husband was in a cycling accident just after 10pm on Friday, May 30.    He hit the pedestrian crossing pole going west down East Dulwich Grove, just past Glengarry Road.    He was knocked out and doesn’t remember anything - and I wanted to say thank you to whoever called the ambulance, and was there with him after the accident. (And to give you an update: thankfully, there was no head injury. He got very lucky with just a fractured face.)   We’re trying to get CCTV footage - but if there any witnesses who can help paint a clearer picture of what happened, it would be really appreciated.
