I would like to thank everybody from the bottom of my heart, who helped me when I was run over on Ulverscroft Road on the way to work on the morning of 5th November. Thank you for the reassuring words, for arguing my case for an ambulance, the blankets, pillows, gloves, hat, water (with a straw!)and for the hot water bottle! You were all amazing. I am now out of hospital with a cage on my leg and a fractured eye socket, but it could have been so much worse, not least if you hadn?t looked after me so well. The police are looking for witnesses, so please do call them if you saw the accident Mon-Fri on 020 7230 7997. THANK YOU .

Sympathies. And good on the people who helped. Don't think about the people who did it and ran (or drove) way, they'll meet their end.


And if you can, get back on your bike as soon as you can if you can. I was lucky enough to be able after a hit and run, but it took three months to get there! Chill out for a week if you can (no work) at least and don't worry.

If its a proven case the driver was at fault try and get your self a decent lawyer .. I did after I was hit by a van not giving way at a junction on the south circular, two years ago (he was charged by police)

I hired a lawyer .. through the law society so I didn't get an ambulance chaser firm. and I was able to access private medical care, including a physiotherapist and physiological help for PTSD and a live changing injury which has left me walking with a stick, also helped me to get cover for time off work due to initial injury and time off for two operations (have another one in a weeks done privately)

Case still ongoing, took me a year to finally get back on my bike, still apprehensive though, but I was very physical active before and needed to get my exercise routine back to some extent to help with my injury.

Hope you recover quickly and there are no long term effects.

Hi everyone. Thanks again all. There is a dispute over liability for the incident and I would be incredibly grateful if anyone out there who saw the accident itself or the aftermath might get in touch with the police please on 020 7230 7650 or if anyone took any photographs.... I saw some people taking photos.... My recovery is proving to be slow but steady....still not back to work at school.... All the best...Kate

Wow very sorry. I wasn't there but as a fellow cyclist wanted to pass on my regards. I was in a hit and run a few years ago and it took me a while to get my confidence back but hopefully this doesn't keep you off the bike forever. Best wishes

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By jazzer · Posted

      Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next.

      I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!

      Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
