As a fairly new resident, my exploration of the south is continually hampered by the amount of overgrown bushes impeding my path.


Some roads offer little more than a small opening. Can people please trim their bushes.

This goes for the council as well, the trees on Barry road are just top to tail leafy stumps, they offer nothing but a hinderance and offer no aesthetic pleasure.

FFS, do you seriously have that much time on your hands?


If this is your biggest problem in life, then good to you!


Seriously, get a life!

Agree.


Unfortunately most people with unruly bushes have too little time on their hands (myself included).


What time they do have is spent trying to catch up with the more important things in life.

Do you need access to a rear entry or will you just dive in from the front?

Well LL, If you're able to be so dismissive of the matter then 'good to you'.


Me, I've sustained severe spinal damage which means I now walk, laboriously, with crutches and my balance is shot. Dodging around overgrowth, especially on uneven paving, is a real hazard.


Still, as it's no bother to you, maybe I should just 'get a life'.

Well said, Muley. The same goes for those with limited or non-existent eye-sight, limited mobility, or who have to care for children, pets or the elderly as they go about their business.

So, LL and AM - having obstruction-free highways allows other people to "get a life", like the one you proudly suggest everyone should have.

Please discuss the subject of untrimmed bushes. Why does it so frequently drop to the level of discussing the individual making a point and not the subject. That's rhetorical, don't answer it.


Play the ball and not the player.


So, back to unruly bushes...

Hanging unkempt trees and bushes can all be real hazards for blind people.


Serious injuries can result from someone walking into bushes left overhanging..


So priorities about what is more important needs to be addressed.


and a little consideration for others.

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
