I'm sure this has already been noted, but people reading or texting while walking along a footpath, platform, etc. No, it's OK, I'll do the looking and dodging, you enjoy your book. Or on a bad day, I'll do the looking but not the dodging.

Personally, I don't think this one is irrational. This morning I caught the 8.36 from Denmark Hill. Half the train disembarks there, and the worst bit is by the stairs. I got really annoyed with the f***wits who decided that it was more important that they get on the train before everyone who need to got off. Was particularly incensed by one idiot who decided to get into the doorway and block half of it, thereby slowing things down even more. What is wrong with these people?


I waited till the passengers had got off, then walked halfway down the carraige and got a seat, before the train had departed, so there was plenty of time.

It's comic relief season... something easy to do with little thought... simple! ;-)

Not unlike TV chess, when one player triumphantly moves a piece and declares, "Checkmate!" If the other player didn't know he was one move away from mate (and therefore would have resigned), he's a pretty poor player and barely worth beating...

:-) I said "not unlike" rather than "same as". I meant in terms of it being a completely unlifelike situation. I've just been Googling (in vain) to find out the last time there was a checkmate in a major tournament... I bet it was, er, a long time ago.

    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
    • I would look in the surrounding area as once they realise it has nothing they could sell or of obvious monatary value in it they'll dump the bag and contents.
