• Assembly Passage is definitely one of the oddest streets in London.

    You can say that again. I work on Assembly Passage and we see many strange things going on on a daily basis. To say it's 'edgy' is an understatement. Yes, the cab driver was turning into Assembly Passage from Redmans Row.

    Where was the stop sign incident?

    The stop sign is on Royal Hill, Greenwich, opposite a school. It is part of a traffic-calming measure, where a width-restriction has been installed. Traffic going uphill through the restriction (in this case, me) has priority, and traffic coming down the hill (the cab), are obliged to stop.

    I am aware that I over-reacted, and that in theory I may have committed an assault, but in the heat of the moment....

    I was vaguely aware that using the word moron is frowned upon these days, but I wasn't aware it was connected with the eugenics movement. I have tended to use it as a general diss - a kind of polite 'twat'. Will try to be more woke in future.

    In a similar vein, my daughter, who is 17, told me today that the term 'Oriental' is now frowned upon. Is that true, and if so, can you illuminate?

    There you go.

    I don't have as much knowledge of it as someone working on it, obviously, and I was mainly thinking about the fact that it's two-way despite its narrow width, the little covered entrance from the A11, and the cobbles. That there are dodgy goings-on is obviously perfect.

    You might want to edit your posts, and I'll edit mine, in case the cabbie decides to search in the same way that @dancing james ' assailant was found on Farcebonk two years ago because she was talking about it there.

    Or you could, of course, meet up for a pint and make up.
