LOCAL DULWICH WOMAN THINKS SHE CAN PARK LIKE A COMPLETE @RSEHOLE JUST BY PUTTING HAZARD LIGHTS ON

?Don?t worry?, she said, ?I?ll be back in two minutes?


Pulling up outside her favourite Lordship Lane boutique, Susan Granger, is of the opinion that if you put your hazard lights on, parking like an absolute c#nt becomes acceptable.


Her completely impractical, cream coloured Range Rover sat double-parked for seven minutes while she had to ?run a few errands?.


?It?s such a pain to find a park around there, so I just flick the hazard lights on while I nip in. It only ever takes a minute or two [laughs]. People sometimes toot, but it must be at something else, as my hazard light are on, so I?m fine.?


?Sometimes I don?t even need to put my hazard lights on at all, like when I?m dropping the kids at school. I?m pretty sure the Highway Code has a clause which states that you can do whatever the f#ck you want on the road if you?re dropping off or picking up children?

Oh yeah


What about


"Motorists need their eyesight tested cos they always fail to see me when I jump red lights at night dressed in black on a black push bike with no lights or reflective surfaces" says Vincent a deliveroo courier


Case backed by the Supreme Court who cite that he is perfectly visible on a sunny day therefore car drivers must be at fault regardless of the time of day !

I like it...how about....


CYCLISTS UP IN ARMS OVER CARS AND BUSES INSIDIOUSLY CREEPING ON TO THEIR ROADS


London cyclists are preparing to form a community action group over the nefarious growth of cars and buses using the capital's roads.


"What's that?!!!, I cant't hear you over my music!!! Said local down and out, and part-time cyclist, Brian, from Camberwell.


After EDF News was able to remove the headphones, Brian was more forthcoming, "Yeah, these bloody cars and buses just started turning up one day, and now they're everywhere. I try to cut up the wrong side of the road, or jump a light, and these car and bus drivers get all upset. They must have a f#cking deathwish messing with us cyclists"


"We're gonna march on parliament this Saturday to stop this madness. Although its a bit far from my place, can you give me a lift mate?"

"Motorist Fined for driving their car down a road"


"I was shocked", said blonde Mother of Three "It gives me the creeps to think, if I'd been standing still in the middle of the road, they might have hit me" "Yeah" added Mr Cyclist,21, "If I'd been going through those red lights at top whack like always, who knows what would have happened"

Oh rendel lighten up


It's a bit of fun using the concept of fake news


Nothing serious (I hope)


However just saw this headline


"EDF user sticks head up bottom whilst looking for sense of humour" Young RH of east Dulwich failed to see the humour in fake news stories reported on the EDF thinking they were all real and bashing real road users. This story was texted in by a dog driving around the south circular whilst sticking head out of window to taste the breeze .

Silly person. It's not the hazard lights that does the trick, it's the double-parking.


The council, or whatever vastly-indebted purveyor of tailored parking solutions it has outsourced the responsibility to, can only enforce the rules on parking. Double-parking, however, is not a parking offence, but an obstruction of the public highway, and thus falls within the purview of the bluebottles. The police, however, have other things to worry about, such as the long walk from Camberwell. This takes, apparently, around forty-five minutes, leaving plenty of time for even the slackest @rsehole to complete their business.

Thought the first post was quite funny - just bored with how quickly it degenerated into let's have a pop at cyclists.

Just seen the latest form of transport on 6 o,news . It's called a bikeycar .the front half is a bike occupied by one rider.back half is a car occupied by a driver.passed it's final road-test.by stopping at a red light.( Strange colour) the car half stops in the cycle box which means the bike half is passed the red light.which means rider an driver both get dirty looks and hand gestures and threats from other road users.sales are expected to top 50 million.

There is this non-gender non-ethnic, non-nationality, non-sexual orientation specific person giving a lift to a similar person. The driver runs through a red light. The passenger castigates him/her for doing this. "Don't worry" says the driver, "my relative" (say cousin for want of a better example) called, lets say Michael or Patrick, for a better example, "does this all the time".


This happens a few more times, before the driver hits a green light which they then stop at. "why are you stopping" asks the passenger". "because my cousin may be driving on the other road".


A ludicrous inappropriate joke. But that is what I think when someone decides to say all cyclists run through red lights, whether they be called Michael, Patrick, or whatever.


Great if you discuss, am I being funny or just an assol?


PS I liked the comment about virtual indicators. I fortunately can read the traffic so well I know most people's manoeuvres before they do.


PPS most drivers and cyclists are fine. That incldues white van people, bus drives and taxis.

Ha ha ha! Also:


Local shopkeeper in navy suzuki super carry van goes WRONG way round Goose green roundabout as its quicker to the shop in Melbourne Grove.


I was approaching Lordship Lane from East Dulwich Grove, got in the left lane to turn left, the van in front stayed on the right and TURNED RIGHT without going round the roundabout into oncoming traffic that sat in disbelief as it headed towards the mind shop ...

MY SPEED HUMP TERROR


Dulwich dad Mo Yewdown has spoken of his crippling fear of speed humps.


"I don't normally worry about speed," the Porsche Cayenne driver said. "But something about the speed humps on College Road brings me out in a rash. I can't help suddenly braking three yards from the humps, I'm that worried about the suspension om my poor little car."


Local GP's are reporting the condition is increasingly common in the area, but they are reassuring patients that there should be nothing stopping them from accelerating to full speed in between sleeping policemen.


Mr Yewdown confirmed he has been formally diagnosed with a phobia of speed humps, and says he is "slowly getting over it".

is this East Dulwich or Eastborne? Asks Sunny Dee 25


Sunny believes that there has been an influx of older, slower drivers in the area in the last year which he likes to hoot or overtake in his Volvo GTI 4x4 as he cruises down Barry Road at 40 mph.


"It's like the whole of Eastborne has been transported over night to the area" says Sunny, "most of thes drivers are a menace to other road users" he continued "as they dawdle around at 20 miles per hour like its the speed limit init"


Sunny pointed out that they "just get in me way and makes my blood boil" as he drove down the road one handed whilst talking to his mates on his mobile, laughingly he went on with "the other day I had to swerve around a Fiat 500 which almost tipped over with the turbulence created by my car as I cut close to them" he sited as an example of what he calls bad driving "and what's worse is that I constantly see people jumping back onto the pavement not expecting me on the wrong side of the road as I'm forced to overtake the new 20s menace on the road, these slow drivers just make it more dangerous for pedestrians as well as drivers" he raised in support of his argument.


Sunny and all his mates believe that East Dulwich may well becoming the new "God's waiting room" and refused to say anymore as he pulled to a skid in the drive-in on the Old Kent Road before wheel spinning as he pulled away phone in one hand and a bargain bucket in his lap.

    • Gone to the better hunting grounds during this local ongoing dry spell.
    • The Dreamliner has an impeccable service history, you are more likely to get mugged on the way to the airport than having any issue with your flight, that's how safe it is!  Have a great trip.
    • Maybe. Does that kill grass? If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.
    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
