That’s such a depressing photo with so many cars blocking the pavement, isn’t it illegal in London?

No, not on roads designated as having pavement parking (there are a handful, typically in very narrow two-way residential roads quite far from any public transport where car ownership may particularly necessary e.g. for elderly or infirm residents ). I recognise this as one of them. Otherwise Southwark officials are particularly keen on booking cars with even part of one tyre on the pavement.

The sense of entitlement is in the marque of car.

Just to annoy - and it is the 'unentitled' marque of car (and their owners) which the ULEZ extension is particularly targeting - modest (working) people with modest cars aren't wanted here. Only the wealthy, with expensive modern cars. You might argue.

When I was at university, the facilities staff used to put warning notices on the windscreens of cars that were parked inconsiderately. These notices were printed on very sticky full A4 sized labels and were a nightmare to peel off, especially if it had rained after the sheet had been stuck to the windscreen. Just saying.....

    • Hey Huggers, please can you share the fabulous chiropodist's details?  Huggers, I think podiatrists are the same as chiropodists, pretty much. Also, why aren't you sticking with the chiropractor, out of interest, if they seem to think the problem is more posture-related, rather than solely (sorry) down to the feet? 
    • Thankyou! Originally I had a private referral ( husband had health insurance at time) and so worn insoles for years but I still wear my shoes down in one place at a ridiculous rate! A fab chiropodist agrees with posture is everything stance. Experienced cobbler says some it ain’t right and I’m over corrected. 
    • I've booked a session with Elmcourt Clinic in West Norwood, recommended by our daughter. A two-week wait for the slot, though.  https://www.elmcourtclinic.co.uk/
    • I don't know everyone else's foot problems are, but I have classic and apparently quite bad deformity - bunions, pain etc. I went to the Woodware Rd practice a few years ago and got orthotics for the not inconsiderable price of £600.  The team there seems very nice but, now that I am experiencing a new type of foot pain, I'm wondering if I've been doing it all wrong these years with supportive trainers and insoles. I'm beginning to realise (seems obvious now) that, if I want to cure my foot pain, maybe I need to change the way I walk, and my posture etc. And also, maybe I need to try barefoot shoes, to build muscle where there's been no need prior, because shoes have been doing all the supporting.  I've been educating myself with Helen Hall and Lawrence van Lingen and addressing my gait seems like a more organic way to solve the problem. Podiatrists will convince you that orthotics and / or surgery are the only way to go, but look up reddit forums and you'll find countless people saying they 'cured' their bunions with barefoot walking / shoes / and exercises.
