Have you ever noticed how many people have dodgy legs in ED?

[Will_i_am]

Just an observation from my daily vantage point on the lane.

I have witnessed more people with gammy/dodgy legs in East Dulwich than anywhere else I've ever lived. Is there a specialist leg hospital around here somewhere?

There are almost as many dodgy legs as bugaboos.

[*Bob*]

Have you been to Streatham?

Take a walk down the High Road. It's like A&E on a Friday night.

[HonaloochieB]

Surely one of the lamest threads ever.

[Will_i_am]

Very good HonaloochieB.

[Reg Smeeton]

Lordship lame.

[Will_i_am]

Oh dear. This thread is just going to limp along now isn't it?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Its rickets. ED originals suffer from it.

[HonaloochieB]

Are you sure they're all 'raspberries' and not affecting a kind of pimp-rolling 'cool walk?

It's sometimes hard to tell the difference.

I remember very clearly Bill Cosby recounting how his friend Albert got his cool walk off a wino with bad feet.

So you never know.

[Will_i_am]

Pretty sure it's not a pimp limp thing.

[ratty]

Raspberries - PMSL have not heard it for a while.

I have to say though I have never ever noticed this.

[SteveT]

Ed walkers are no dodgier than the pavement surfacing in LL, perhaps we all eventually evolve to 'weird walking' to cope with Southwark's idea of flag-stone laying.

[brum]

Perhaps it's to stop the locals from escaping - a bit like the ravens at the Tower having their wings clipped.

[daizie]

Lots of ugly people in East Dulwich too

[giggirl]

Feet. I notice feet. It's coming up to sandal time so, please, I beg you, before inflicting your feet on the world, get a pedicure. There's not a lot you can do if you have bad legs but there's a lot you can do with caloused feet and ugly hard skin. Yes I know I'm shallow but still. Would you believe there are still men out there wearing socks with sandals?

[SteveT]

Did they have the 'Minister of funny walks' to advise Southwark on pavement construction for Lordship Lane?

...but I need to wear socks to cover up my hairy toes.... I don't want to hear strangers call out 'oi, hobbit-features' any more, it's most distressing.

Could the two be related? ie injuries sustained! ;-)

[Annasfield]

Had knee surgery last year, so I guess I fall in to that category.

That said I know plenty of people who have sustained injuries from the pavements on Lordship Lane. Maybe that has something to do with it.

My pins are one of my least favourite features, tis true

yes I would .... and men weasring white trainers and socks .... Mr Bermondsey style

[Xena Worried prince]

I had my ankle removed as a child and have a permanent limp as a result

I think you lot are being really really horrid and bullying people like me who can't help the way they walk

next you will be resurrecting the taunting and name calling that I received in my teens

You lot can all go and take a running hop

[Will_i_am]

Right! Right now on the Lane outside the Post Office, an older lady with a bad leg and a stick. I'm going to start posting regular updates on the Lane Leg Situation.

Riveting, stay logged in.

*stays legged in*

[Will_i_am]

Here we go! Dodgy leg number 2. Again an older woman on crutches. I think time will tell though thats it's not just older women with the Lane Leg.

OH MY GOD! BREAKING NEWS! Young man on crutches too!
