ravtash patel 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 does anyone agree that these new traffic lights at the new byker shopping centre is a fucking accident waiting to happen? who designed the bastards? either fuckin stevie wonder or jade goody is my guess!! i'd say 99% of the times i've driven down/up the fossway there has been something that could of led to an atroscity.. yesterday for instance after i'd been to "scope" on sheilds road for wor lasses birthday present i was on me way yem wen this fuckin old coffin dodger in a f reg escort cut me up yet again, he must off been at least 100 yrs old & on his way to get his greeting off the queen!! i tried telling him he was in the wrong with various hand jestures but he just gave me that vacant "i fought in the war for you" look.. if someone isnt killed at these lights before long then i'm a fuckin dutchman.

Smooth Operator 10 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I know exactly what you mean. On the Fossway if you're going striaght down towards Wallsend I went down the wrong side of the road the very first time I used it, it was lucky there were no other cars about, or then again if there were other cars I wouldn't have done it cos I would have seen them on that side. And then oin the other side by the Siemens factory, when you go to go straight on now you have to give way to any traffic coming from the retail park, exiting the retail park is operated by lights but not if you're just going straight down, it's just give way. Why don't they put lights up here so whenever the retail exit lane is on red the Shields Road is on green and vice versa. Numerous times i've observed as cars brake at the last minute in the confusion! Anyway, get anything decent from Scope? I'm off there for her Valentine's prezzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the price of shirts in charity shops a bit steep tbh, seeing as i got a darzer one brand new from Mexx at Royal Quays last night for £4 they want £3 for a crusty old chequey number belonging to an incontinent tramp!

Renton 22004 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 If that's the junction I thin you mean then you're right. I was driving back from the quayside at night a few weeks ago and didn't have a clue where to go. I just stopped in the middle of the junction in the dark muttering what the fuck????

Lazarus 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 the shields road side is just as bad where theyve put the traffic lights and new road markings in by the entrance to the shopping park. heading down shields road from the byker end to the wallsend end theres no lights - just a give way. but your giving way to traffic that almost comes from behind you as its comes from the shopping park. also, when your going from wallsend to byker on shields road theres always some idiot who doesnt get into the correct lane at the lights, and then barges in. fucking morons - but i agree, there will be a very serious accident there shortly.

Actually a good place to eat on Heaton Road is Khans. I've had some of the nicest currys ever in there. The only down side is that it's not licenced, so they don't do alcohol, but you can take your own along.

Like Renton says though, it's a design fault really, I only know to get in the right hand lane because I drive through it every morning. I think they'll be an accident with the give way stuff they've done, someone will not realise you have to stop and they'll be a side on smash I'm sure.

All the decor and stuff is her work and she worked ridiculously hard to turn it into a fab place. Unfortunately relationship problems meant she ended up leaving him and the cafe.
