I have loads of stuff I should be doing but it's always a good distraction. Grin

The people on the crossing now are making me nervous.

Yes hat guy needs to get out of the road.

That would drive me fucking crackers. I would petition for the crossing to be removed if I lived there.

Jojoanna · 17/02/2019 15:53

The guy in the hat was ridiculous just standing there

SandunesAndRainclouds · 17/02/2019 15:54

I would find that incredibly frustrating if I lived there! Who knows if they’re about to cross the road or not, and if they’ll stop midway... risky!

Tofiffeee? Now you're talking

I shouldn't have clicked on the link, I have a mountain of ironing to do plus a roast dinner to cook......

I've got it on my ipad and laptop now. There's a lag of about 3-4 seconds on my laptop.

I lived near that spot in 1989. A house in Acacia Road came on the market for £110,000 and was some 8/9 times my then salary. That house and others in the region are now upwards of £10m. Bowie had a flat round the corner in the same block as (at least rumoured) Boy George.

Awful bit of parking/dropping off!

AuntieCJ · 17/02/2019 16:03

See that chap pushing the pram like he's not really with it?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/02/2019 16:04

a wave.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/02/2019 16:04

we need an mner to go down and wave!

GerryblewuptheER · 17/02/2019 16:04

Why do they all stop and wait in the middle?Confused

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/02/2019 16:05

police van got through safely

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/02/2019 16:06

They are posing for the camera Gerry.

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 17/02/2019 16:06

We need an Abbey Road crossing MN meet up.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/02/2019 16:07

We'd all get cross with each other for not doing it right. We'd have to agree a strategy beforehand.

Also the old crossing was further up the road, nearer the entrance to the studios.

Passmethecrisps · 17/02/2019 16:11

My god that’s compulsive viewing. Not relaxing though - I feel quite tense. Some of the driving is terrible. I imagine it’s a every man for himself attitude which is probably understandable but do you reckon the drivers forget when they are at normal crossings?

DaedricLordSlayer · 17/02/2019 16:13

buggar I'm supposed to be going out about now.

BrizzleMint · 17/02/2019 16:15

There goes my lesson planning session. Thanks Sparklingbrook Grin
