Lambeth Council Deathtraps

If you read elsewhere within my blog you will know that I hate speed bumps. It is a sure fire bet that they will wreck tyres, steering, springs, shock absorbers, wheel bearings and spoilers and with me recently, prop shaft bearing and gearbox mounting. They bring you down to the same speed as cyclists so you cannot get clear of them so they are always down your inside, this is dangerous and it's not good for me and it's not good for them. Once these speed bumps deteriorate they become a dangerous hazard if you are on foot crossing the road or if you are on a bicycle or trying to negotiate them in a vehicle.Perhaps a battle tank would be the answer

      They cause more danger than not having them. Here is a good example in Lilford Road

Here's another one in the same road

Walworth Road Library-Museum Fire 25/3/13

No injuries or loss of life. Historic building seriously damaged. Southwark history gone up in smoke.

Just up the Walworth Road from Arment's pie and mash shop stands the Walworth Road Cummings Museum and library which was where I got married a good few years ago, it goes up in flames and a lot of relics and books are no more, or at the very least burnt or water damaged. I'm not to sure if the fire was in the section where me and the missus tied the knot, but I had a thought......hopefully the fire brigade put that bit out last, no evidence, I'm off.
