The newly landscaped Dulwich Square

[Nigello]

The shops along the road have had nice, new tarmac put down but some imbecile decided to scrawl and scribble wiggly lines around the edges with seemingly indelible white spray paint. What the actual eff?

I think that those that like the square and those that don't should meet for a sing off/dance off at the Castle.  This would save scores of posts on the issue.  We could make it a square dance unlike the other event which I understand will be a line dance.  I'm thinking of some relevant songs 

It's hip to be square.

I noticed that. I hoped it was to indicate where to put paving, or similar. We can only hope.

It’s temporary, the Dulwich Estate is due to finish the section by the shops soon.

There doesn't seem to be any regularity to the pattern of the wriggly lines between the different parts of the paving which is a bit odd. Parts of it look like directions for something to be done to it whilst others don't. And what on earth is the big tree drawn in front of one the shops supposed to indicate...plant tree here, if so that's an odd spot for one?

It's not Egyptian hieroglyphics certainly - maybe coded messages from outer space! 😉

This evening, as I was crossing Dulwich Square at the red lights on foot I was warned by a cyclist on an e-bike, "to be careful" as circumvented me and went sailing through the lights. He was followed by a group of cyclists, around 5, two carrying children, who also all went through the red lights.

Sometimes shouting "Red Light idiots!" at the top of your voice can help to get the message across that pedestrians have priority to cross at that moment in time.

or replace "idiots" with "c**t".

Or maybe take a leaf from Malumbu and shout "s**t happens", they won't know if you're shouting at them or pre-empting the accident they are about to cause - but I bet it will get their attention! 😉

Very distorted and unnecessary comment.  I was talking about freak events.

Offensive.  You would be better off on nextdoor.com

Which you were saying pedestrians being killed by cyclists were....we know what you were saying. If you're going to say it, as you try to outdo Earl with barbs aimed at anyone who dares challenge your ideology, at least own it if you get called out for it.  Everyone knows what you were saying....
