I was getting a bit peed off with being known as Politically
Incorrect, so I’ve asked our friendly Editor to change the name
of my page to something more in keeping with the nice image I
try to portray… Kensington and Chelsea
– April Fools in Disguise?
Had I not read it in the papers recently, I would
have thought it was already 1 April and one of the spoofs the
media use to try and catch us out. But no, it’s true! It seems
that the councillors of Kensington and Chelsea have more money
than sense, perhaps inherited from some of the locals – DaC
account customers excepted of course!
A new traffic scheme that they wish to adopt would see all road
signs and markings removed from Exhibition Road, not only that
but they want to remove the pavements as well - not to mention
the traffic lights! Pedestrians, cyclists, skaters et al and any
other traffic would all vie for space. Imagine, no pavements and
no parking meters?
Cars could, in theory, park against the wall forcing pedestrians
onto the busy thoroughfare. With no traffic islands, there would
be no sanctuary for them against other road users, not
forgetting the residents of the buildings in this road. The
speed limit would be restricted to 20 mph and yet they say that
pedestrians would actually have the right of way? Yeah sure!
With 24 hour drinking also on the way, I can just

Square back to what it was like in
the 1930s, making more of a walkway and less of a roadway.
Seems his maths is not too good as there are five entrances to
the square at the moment, so just which roads will have priority
and cross to each other we’ll just have to stay in suspense
before he tells us? Why does he think he can manage traffic,
when to my knowledge he still can’t drive?
Shortage of Chiropodists?
If sometime in the future (and let us hope it
doesn’t), you have to attend court on a charge - be it from a
driving offence to terrorism - and you don’t fancy turning up,
just tell them that your toe nails are too long and that you
have difficulty with your mobility and walking because of the
problem. You don’t believe that it works? Well it
worked for Abu Hamza when he was supposed to appear before a
judge, even though he was due to give evidence via a video link
from the prison where he is being held. Have the prison
authorities not heard of visiting chiropodists? Dial-a-Cab would
be happy to transport them…
Which Year?
This month sees the new Chinese New Year and as we
all know, they name them after animals. Last year was the year
of the monkey, while this coming one is the year of the rooster.
We in the cab trade have our own names. Last year was the year
of the legal…!

making his way back and forth
across the road.
This will not, in my opinion speed up the flow of traffic, but
slow it down to such an extent that the northbound tailback will
reach across the Thames bridges!
Have these so called councillors been allowed - via care in the
community - to try and get their lives back together, or have
they forgotten to take their medication? Mind you, if this
scheme is adopted throughout London, maybe the Friday night
cyclists and bikers could then use the M25 and leave central
London to us. This scheme is being tested out at the moment in a
village in Holland. Maybe that is where the saying ‘Dutch
Courage’ comes from.And Not Forgetting
Square Ken…!
Not to be outdone, Ken wants another square to be
turned into a crossroad junction. He and some greens want to revert Sloane |
