You amble up to the pedestrian crossing and I stop, because i'm preempting your move, even though you're not paying attention. And then you amble slowly-slowly without looking, whilst poking your phone screen, taking your time, you looking up and then carrying on, all slowly-slowly


Oh yeah, just so you know, i've mentally dumped the clutch and poked the throttle to run you over


Same goes for you riding wrong way up the one way street, your brake free bike with the cut-down handlebars


And you 'militant pedestrian' stepping off the kerb way before the zebra crossing, with that defiant "run me over on a crossing would you look"

Yep, you're over the bonnet too

Are you referring to your buggy (the type that occassionally transports young children or even shopping, sometimes the odd pair of shoes) driving skills/mentality?

In that instance Al, they'll just get a light sideswiping, to liven them up and knock the silly grin off their faces

Wow, disturbing - Are there any particular roads where you are planning your reign of terror? Just so I know to avoid them on my fixed gear bike with the shortened handlebars... and my silly grin because I was daft enough to choose an enjoyable mode of transport...

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
