I was having lunch with my wife in our house, when we heard a motorbike roaring past, it sounded like it was giong unbelievably fast. We both looked at each other, and commented how ridculously quick it sounded when suddenly there was a bang, and you knew the guy had come off his bike and must have slid for ages. We went outside to see if there was anyhting we could do, but there were already a lot of peple out there phoning the police. Not long after amubulances and police cars were screaming past the house to the scene. We came stright back in and we had to go out soon after, so dont know any other information, I hope they are ok, and I hope even more that he didnt cause injury to anybody else

I live near that end of Lordship Lane and heard the accident from my house. We saw the air ambulance coming down to land, but fortunately it wasn't needed. Apparently the guy collided with a tree and has seriously injured his leg, but is otherwise fine. Haven't been out to it myself, so only have this information second-hand, but it doesn't seem as if anyone else was hurt.


Was going to post it just after it happened, but thought it best not to so as not to cause worry or stress to anyone whose loved one rides a motorbike and had yet to return home.

We were walking up Lordship Lane, approaching the Friern Road junction when that idiot roared past. I just had time to mention that he was going much too fast when clearly he must have misjudged the bend and skidded over to the lamppost. I just dread to think what the consequences would have been had he missed the post and hit some pedestrians.

    • DR Yes he had not been very well for about the last 2 or 3 years but was making some progress, we use to see him down LL getting his shopping and stop and catch up on all matters Ed. I Pm'd just before Christmas and received no reply which was not like him so I did have concerns about his health but I had no other means of contacting him. R.i.P Foxy Bob S 
    • So, private polling for Labour in London puts Labour and the Lib Dems with the same number of seats on Southwark Council come May. It’s not clear from this Guardian article (link below) if that will be all due to Labour losses or if the Lib Dems will actually make some gains in Southwark. Either way, the Greens are set for a massive surge in seats across London, if the polling is correct.

    • I shouted at someone who pushed by me on the tube last week, as they got off I said your could least say "excuse me". Somebody told me "they did".  Whoops, humble pie. I have no idea whether the original poster overreacted. I have done far too many times, and try (or should try harder) to learn from this, and do regret not handling things better/calmer.  I expect most of have similar 'guilty' secrets. There's a separate thread on why, being British, we apologise when it is not our fault, or when we simply want to get past someone.  Excuse me (and/or thank you when they move out of your way) is appropriate.  Even people who you wouldn't fancy meeting on a dark alley do this.  And I apologise for being so judgmental, I couldn't find the right words.   (if you remember this ad you may be considered by some to be old)  
    • Leon came to do a full electrical check and sort out some problem lights yesterday. He came on time, was very polite and friendly and was a pleasure to do business with. He didn’t laugh at me when one of the problems was very badly designed lights (even if they look great) where the bulbs needed to be changed. He’ll probably get years of repeat business from these lights. His rates are very reasonable and I don’t hesitate to recommend him. p.s I found him on this forum but have only just joined, specifically to leave Leon a review.
