bigbadwolf Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Come on you guys, be serious and think consructively. Cutting off Nunhead doesn't need an expensive and time consuming barracade (wall) to keep the natives of scumhead out of sight. For an effective and speedier means of population control all we need to do (Louisa may have something to say about this) is to introduce a strain of the Ebola virus into the microwave meal section at Iceland. Jobs a good un. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5906-barry-road-any-comments/page/2/#findComment-190713 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dulwichmum Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Oh Mr Wolf. I feel that you are being somewhat heavy handed. And should we not include Peckham in this plan? I feel no need to include any of the property on the far side of Goose Green in our new improved community.

dulwichmum Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 And another thing, if you wipe out the entire population of SE15 in the manner you describe, those of you who do not employ live in help, may be forced to clean your own homes. Isn't SE15 where all of your domestic help comes from?

bigbadwolf Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 You'd be forced to turn to Catford for all your livery and domestic manpower DM. Be warned though DM, they're a much fiercer lot when you cross the south cirular.

dulwichmum Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I ship all of my help in from Eastern Europe sweetie and I confiscate their passports when they arrive. That way, if James loses his job, I can sell their kidneys on Ebay and the poppets get to stay at independant schools!

bigbadwolf Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I see, how stupid of me. Regarding the nannies from behind the Iron curtain.

dulwichmum Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Now you are getting the idea darling! Let's pop Lambeth behind a wall too sweetie.

If you mean Ray krebbs (don't let yourself down with such bad grammar DM as it's most un-ladylike) then I'm afraid you're far off the beaten track as usual.Think of yourself as an older version of Fizz Charlson and me as a more dapper version of Marcus Tandy from the BBC's ill fated early nineties flop Eldorado.

Huguenot Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 According to Google Earth it's 0.78 miles long; 1,256 metres. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5906-barry-road-any-comments/page/2/#findComment-190883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

red devil Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Does it take into consideration it's on an incline?.. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5906-barry-road-any-comments/page/2/#findComment-190904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huguenot Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Hmmm. Good point. No, it doesn't.However, a quick bit of Pythagoras tells me that in order for 0.78 miles straight line turn into 1 mile with the incline, then the end of the road would need to be 0.63 miles (around 3,350 feet) higher than the start.That would give us an incline of around 40 degrees.Given earlier evidence that coasting with the car out of gear at 30 mph only retains the existing speed, then I reckon it's not quite that steep. ;-)It kinda rings true, as even Hampstead Heath is only 440ft above sea level, so the church would need to be almost ten times higher than that. A veritable cliff.That's not to say that it isn't. Indeed altitude sickness may have contributed to some of the road's reputation.

red devil Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Feels like it when you cycle up it though...:'(It would be interesting to know what the height above sea level was, especially when you consider you can only see the top of Canary Wharf which is about 800ft high...I did try the web to see if I could get hold of an OS map showing benchmarks for levels, but they all seem to charge, and then I remembered there's more important things in life!..:-$ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5906-barry-road-any-comments/page/2/#findComment-190918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huguenot Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Google Earth suggests that the Clockhouse end of Barry Road has an elevation of 24m (78 feet), and the church end has an elevation of 49m (160 feet).I'm not sure exactly how accurate these measurements are.However, if this is right, then in addition to the 82 feet rise the incline has made the road 9.7 inches longer.F*cking outrageous!

Huguenot Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 For a 75 kilo man on a 15 kilo bike that would be 22,000 joules burnt up in rising up through the elevation (in addition of course to the normal energy burnt up on an equivalent level road).Since most of us are more familiar with calories (4.2 joules), that's 5,255 calories.However, in food terms we actually talk about kilocalories, even though we call them calories. So think of it as 5.25 calories exercise - approximately the amount of calories contained in two seedless grapes.

red devil Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 ...if this is the case shouldn't people who live on inclines have to pay proportionately more council tax than flat road dwellers, e.g. council refuge vehicles will use up more fuel etc...*''Dear Tessa...''* Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5906-barry-road-any-comments/page/2/#findComment-190944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
