I'm still puzzling on this review date thing:
There was always going to be a 3 month review.
The closures started on 29th August and 3 months from that is 29th November.
There's been all this fuss about 'look we are bringing it forward to an 8 week review" as the website still announces boldly:
Some people have blamed the fiasco of the crap evaluation on the 'successful sabotage' of the planned review date.
But.. 26th November is not 8 weeks in, it's actually 3 days short of 12 weeks.

So what do you reckon? No-one knows what the hell they're doing? Or we're all being jollied along?

I tend to err on the side of no-one has a clue what they're doing. . But the scale of the cluelessness here is such that .. I don't know, haven't a clue

I don't mind being called a liar when I'm lying, or about to lie, or just finished lying, but NOT WHEN I'M TELLING THE TRUTH.

This is all very depressing...
All these types of atrocities are cleverly designed to fuel anti-muslim hatred, which in turn causes muslim oppression, which in turn drives some muslims to become militants and some more sick people join up with these terrorist organisations. It's all part of the "ISIS" agenda, they are winning, it's getting worse....
The only way out of this loop is to stop the Muslim hatred.
No doubt "Britain First" must be loving this. They are probably organising anti-Muslim marches right now.
Very sad that they are too thick to realise they are part of the problem.

If they do they are likely to lose there bonus. If not there job. Turning down a job is a no no at AL.
Addison Lee is big company run by big mouth boss. The drivers are paid poorly and have to work a lot of hours to make up the number of of jobs to get the bonus. The "bonus" being not having to pay the "rental" for the car they drive for Addison Lee.
Addison Lee pay there drivers poorly in order to undercut Black Cabs.
The problem for the AL driver is that if a job takes longer they are unlikely to get paid more for it. Unlike how Black Cabs work. AL the company still take there cut plus rental for car. They do not lose.
So the problem is not the road closures but the way large ( and small) companies, typical of this country, exploit the workers.
A problem with schemes like this is that in the way this country works - ie cut throat capitalism- its the little people who first bear the brunt. Does not mean the concept is wrong.
As an aside AL are suffering due to Uber. There is a glut of private hire cars in London. Not enough work to go around. Black Cabs cost more ( and can use bus lanes. Much to the annoyance of big mouth) but you know the driver is making a decent wage at end of week.
AL drivers also do not have the "Knowledge". I have had to give them directions in West End as they rely on Satnav and it does not work that well in West End.

I took those. As you say its just an accident that has nothing to do with road closures. Accidents often happen at junctions.

I also talk to passenger car drivers. Not what I hear.
Unlikely to bad mouth employer to a client in case it gets back to office.
AL , like all courier companies, offloads risk onto the drivers. For example in any accident the driver has to pay the first £500 of any damage. Standard practise across the industry.

Brixton Road is being affected by the major works at Oval for the cycle scheme. (Though the new cycle highway from Oval to towards Victoria is finished and its a delight to cycle out of traffic.)
I agree traffic numbers are inconsistent.
I have been getting bus or cycling to Kings a lot recently at different times and have had no problem going that way.

It's pleasingly quiet in and around LJ these days. I cycle and walk frequently using various methods, to and from the station and Brixton tube and up to town most days at key rush hour times, and sometimes drive, and each journey these days seems far quicker than I ever remember it. Even driving to Clapham last Thursday evening at 7pm was faster than I've experienced in a long time (and this was down CHL to Brixton and round the town hall).
It's almost as if someone, or something, had brought in traffic calming measures that now seem to be working. Oh, wait.......

I don't suppose Lambeth Council told her that. Who is she anyway - she's only an MP after all.
