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.

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By shazza76 · Posted

      Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!

      Be careful on the pavements...

      Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
