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.

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
