My only thought on it previously was “Hmmm, weird flag”. Sounds like a pretty weird place. Seems appropriate that it is neither North or South, but more just "out there". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the shops were shut if people were Barting in them! That’s a sure fire way to spread infection 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Well I’ve been doing a lot of driving around Woolwich, Isleworth, Barnet, Finchley, Harrow, Wembley. I’d emphasise it was driving, not a single traffic jam, not once. Driving around London. Then being able to park once I get where I’m going! Happy days.

Clapham Junction is pretty dead, except for one platform, which is really busy and being served up with services of 4 carriages making it impossible to socially distance. Lives at stake and Southern still scrimping for their shareholders. F***ing scum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whilst I can drive, without being snarled up in traffic, then I’ll drive. If / when driving becomes a ball ache then, we’ll make a decision on using trains and tubes. But the Clients are on warning there could be a period of time where it’s too much hassle to drive and we won’t get on a train. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last couple of trips in to Finchley have been 9:00am and I’ve just driven in to the area and parked at the tube station open car park no probs. Isleworth, got there lunchtime and street parked directly outside the property I was visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I had to go into the office on Monday for the first time since March as my laptop was broken. I was really surprised how much traffic on the M40 at 6:30am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
