Sydenham Road Incident

Recommended Posts

I just had a call from my friend who lives that way saying a massive HGV rolled backwards into a pedestrian, dragging her under, apparently her head went under the wheel! :'(


Not sure how conclusive this is as we know how these things become chinese whispers:-S


Awful if true though, it's all cloesed still apparently.

I was reflecting in an objective manner on an incident from my own past which was quite distressing to all involved at the time. It was most unpleasant indeed - but then again so is the subject of this thread so I don't quite know why one is edited and the other not.

She was a young black 29 year old woman just trying to catch the train in time. She was leaving LLoyds bank and somebody I know was exiting the bank at the same time, she held the door for people then crossed the road , the lorry was coming toward her and was not going too fast apparently, the lorry caught her and unfortunately ran over her. Poor girl. Poor family. This is the second incident this year that I know of tall lorries running over people. They should have sensors or something in place to help prevent this.

    • What I don't understand is those that are clamouring for this says there is an urgent need for more teachers yet they also say there are lots of places at schools for the children leaving private school due to dwindling pupil numbers (at primary especially). Surely then the teacher "gap" can, in part, be plugged by this?   This does seem a very blinkered, dog whistle attack on a certain part of private education and it will be interesting to see how the courts (and Europe) views it. Given the government accelerated the rollout to happen in the middle of a school year (which no-one thought was a good idea) probably shows they may not believe they are on strong ground - it feels like a "beg for forgiveness rather than ask for permission" situation.
    • I have tried Ancestry (library) and Findmypast (library and paid). They both pay for archives to digitise some of their holdings. Forget details, Both has things other doesn't but think Ancestry is ahead. I found the search facility frustrating - you needed to play with options a lot.   My dad did research before these sites existed which was harder work but more fun. I recall instances where Ancestry made wrong assumptions (something like mire than one John and Joan Walker in same town).  
    • 01102528 and 01902663 are the two linked Police crime report numbers associated with the individual in the photos.
    • Montessori schools are private so will have to pay VAT.  Not sure what the confusion is. I expect most of us who never even considered sending our kids to Prep school, Montessori or Steiner have particular sympathy.  Of course in a years time we will see and you may say "I told you so".
