Wrong again.


Are you denying that you live in Catford or that you made the
comment?


Both. Why do you ask?


So you didn't post "Don't you feel sorry for those who live on that
little island amid that traffic nightmare?" and you don't live in
Catford?


You haven't explained why you asked.


Clarification. Now, answer the question, "So you didn't post "Don't you feel
sorry for those who live on that little island amid that traffic nightmare?"
and you don't live in Catford?"


No you are quite wrong as usual. I was avoiding your little semantic
diversion and was responding to the original statement. So, it was not
written by someone who lives in Catford and I don't live in Catford,
hence 'Both'. Do you understand now or do you wish to continue with
your pointless prevarication?

When and where have you moved to?

Do you really think a single person is, or ever has been, taken in by
your pathetic little charade? It has been proven time and time again
that you are Doug Bollen of Catford.

shows the new layout of the junction where Tunnel Avenue and
Blackwall Lane
meet the A102.

http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=...tyle=o&lvl=2&t...
shows the old layout.

The main change seems to be that previously you could turn right off the
northbound offslip and then turn left onto the northbound onslip
(should you
so wish), whereas now the traffic turning right from the offslip is
forced
into a segregated lane between the two carriageways which takes it
past the
onslip without allowing access to it. The only reason I can think of
for the
change is that they want to stop traffic from avoiding jams on the
flyover
by coming though the junction... but since you can drive across into
Tunnel
Avenue and do a comfortable leisurely U-turn back to the junction, only
losing a few seconds in the process, the change seems fairly
pointless... I
saw some dangerous driver confusion while I was there, and the "No
Entry"
text on the tarmac seems like an admission by the engineers that they
have
created something baffling and dangerous.


Don't you feel sorry for those who live on that little island amid
that traffic nightmare?

And this comment comes from somebody who lives in Catford!


Are you sure that "lives" is the correct term?

One question, if I may: why should I care?

I assume this is some long-running uk.transport feud that has found
itself cross-posted into utl.

If you are not a denizen of uk.transport then it's probably best if you do
ignore the comments made to and about our resident serial liar and
hypocrite.

In that case, may I request that those in uk.transport who make such
comments remove other groups from the Newsgroups: line when making
them. Thanks. FU set.
