i think if this police chief lived in the UK half of south east london and old street would be arrested. god bless the american constitution for safeguarding guns at home and saggy pants, just a shame about all the other liberties they chose to ignore..


for those that can't be *arsed* to read the article this police chief, with the great name of david dicks, is stopping and searching kids with slow slung trousers in michigan and the usual great commotion has risen:


to quote the guardian direct "Your new practice of stopping and threatening young men with disorderly conduct for wearing 'saggy pants' is a blatant violation of the United States Constitution," the ACLU wrote to Dicks in a letter last week.


"Although you were recently appointed chief of the Flint police department, you cannot appoint yourself chief of the 'fashion police'. You have no power to criminalise a style of dress because you find it distasteful. We ask that you halt this practice immediately.""

we need to ask dicks if newfangled bottom cleavage counts, we should start writing to the guy and totally freak him out with peculiar british requests.


i also think retrograde arrests should be made of z list celebs with thongs out in the late 90's early 2000's, this could seriously help clear our newsagents of tat celeb mags.

    • Another recommendation - excellent, fast work. 
    • I appealed against a fine issued by Southwark, and won. The adjudicator was businesslike, but also mentioned that several cases had come to him caught out by the same confusing signage.    Is there any other parking that could reasonably have been used? Does the shop advise where to park?  It sounds as though the time in the bay was a reasonable use. Even if you lose, I doubt that Southwark can increase the original charge. If you are going to appeal, don't delay. Take pictures of the scene if you think that might help, also provide the weight of the goods if that supports your case.
    • Thanks - an overnight stay,  a drip and painkillers seems to have done its work!
    • Depends on who can afford to purchase or lease it and what The Dulwich Estate, Stonegate and Southwark Council will allow to be built or operate on the site. Whatever it is, it needs to attract footfall for itself and businesses around it. The question to ask is what does that part of Dulwich need, that is not within the locality, which will attract custom and footfall, that the site can accommodate and that can offer parking which it already has available. In between Cox's Walk, Dulwich Village, Dulwich College and the park, some sort of establishment that sells drinks and meals. Bit then I'm just chucking ideas around, or maybe someone, Dean, has some radical idea's to take it in a totally different direction.    Whatever it becomes it has to be better than the rotting site and eyesore it currently is. Good luck to anyone who takes on the project to redevelop the former Grove Tavern.
