11 April (Part 1) - Ghost riders
I
thought this ghostly image of a cyclist on the pavement in Abbey Road, Belvedere
was mildly amusing when I photographed it last year but it’s nothing like as
funny as the video a Welling resident has posted on YouTube about Bexley
council’s (and TfL’s) madcap cycling schemes.
Take a look for yourself, it’s hilarious, well it would be if they hadn’t cost you a fortune.
The author said he never saw a cyclist while making the video. More ghost riders perhaps?
The same author
has done another; this time it illustrates the decline of Welling caused by
political decisions. It’s amazing how many people despise Bexley council and
everything it stands for. The more critical I am the more support rolls in; probably
it is not going too far to say there is widespread hatred for Bexley council. Only
once have I received a contrary email and that writer is so obsessed with this
site that he accused a contributor to the News Shopper forum who criticised Bexley
council of being me! No one else has ever had a good word to say about anything
Bexley council has done. On the contrary, one serving councillor congratulated me
for “scrupulously accurate” reporting and an ex-councillor said “you are
fast becoming the only way to know what’s going on in meetings”. And then there
was the councillor who liked Bonkers so much he
tried to set up
a Bonkers of his own. Absolutely bonkers, but nice to know he cared.
