Would these "anxious parents" please stop moaning and worrying about the safety of their own children!
How many times does the decrepit council have to explain to them that child safety is a low priority when compared to building £100 million museums and funding nauseating marketing campaigns... [bold]what part of £150 million of cuts to services for the city's vulnerable inhabitants do these selfish parents not understand[/bold]?

Then surely it's up to the parents to teach their children to cross the road in a safe manner. Even when there is a lollipop person, they just run out on to the road.

Glasgow is probably the only place in the whole country that doesn't have a zebra crossing
If they work in London etc, why don't they work in Glasgow - maybe Glasgow City Council (as always) is out do defy logic, the place is nuts.
Regardless of that, kids will always follow their own agenda, much like drivers.
The retards out there who drive too fast will probably end up having kids, much like the parents today who were most likely to be boy and burd racers in their XR3i's 15 years ago.
Its a no win situation, council won't budge, manufacturers will continue to spit out high performance vehicles designed to kill and kids will continue to believe they are invincible.

I don't think a lot of drivers in Glasgow would know what to do when faced with a zebra crossing. When I come across them elswehere I've really got to dig in the old memory to remember what you're meant to do. I really think that more modern crossing styles are preferable.
[quote]kids will continue to believe they are invincible[/quote]
Yep, but that's a developmental thing. Although they grow out of it, young kids are in the centre of their own universe.
Something I've noticed recently, and thi sis a worrying thing, is that there really seems to be an increase in the number of kids playing 'chicken' with traffic. Seen it an awful lot recently.

When I was young and attending school one of the first things pupils were taught was how to cross the road. It went along the lines of "look right, look left, look right again, if all is clear, cross over, carefully checking for traffic all the time". It's not the most difficult of rules to learn. Or is it now the norm in the nanny state that is known as britain to have a good old moan at everything before realising that if youngsters actually bothered to think about their actions, they may well be able to cross the road without the help of some old pensioner carrying a lollipop? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the whole point of being at school was to learn.

I know hoew people on here love to cross examine the posts that are written (Sydney etc)
Maybe its because we have to many zombies here stepping out in front of buses etc but I can't see an end to this, Sydney mentions cutbacks - more fuel into the fire which has been burning for a very long time.

I am obviously out of date here...what happened to the kerb drill on jotters and pencils??
Used to be on the front page of jotters (all the variations of jotters too!!) and along the edge of your pencil. Well, ok, pencils are now provided by us, but it surely cannot cost the earth to print the kerb drill on to the front cover????
Apart from that...why not get 80 fit people off the buroo and give them lollipops - would maybe then give them an incentive to find full time work!!

Sydney, if the problems with child safety and council cuts bother you that much, why don't you go out and get one of the 80 unfilled posts for lollipop people. That way you could do something useful instead of boring us all rigid.

Easterhouse has huge unemployment rates but none of the denizens can be bothered to take one of the eighty unfilled posts. This is ridiculous. Even if the money comes off your dole, it would be a reason to get up in the morning, and would show a potential employer that you were employable. On the other hand,, your dole-ite alky mates would probably laugh at you and throw empty bottles.
[italic]I don't mean Sydney, of course - he would obviously be unsuitable for such work as it would involve living outside his tiny wee mind for an hour at a time.[/italic]

Maybe the reason the decrepit city council supposedly has "around 80 unfilled vacancies" is because they don't actually bother advertising the phantom vacancies!
From the crappy council website, the complete index of roles currently available at the council:
[bold]19 result(s) found[/bold]
- Administrative Officer
- Assistant Communication & Benefits Realisation Manager
- Budget Support Officer
- Chef (35 hours Mon-Fri 7am – 4pm: 5/7 shift pattern)
- Communication & Benefits Realisation Manager
- Depute Head Teacher
- Executive Organisational Change Manager
- Faculty Head of Science
- Head of Council 2014 Team
- Job share Teacher of English
- Job share Teacher of Support for Learning
- Principal Teacher
- Principal Teacher of Art
- Principal Teacher of English
- Principal Teacher of Pupil Support
- Programme Manager
- Project Coach (Temporary until March 2009)
- Residential Worker (Night) (2 posts – 30 hours per week)
- Unit Manager (4 Perm & 2 Temp initially for 13 weeks)
So the council doesn't bother advertising the 'vacancies', but brings up the dodgy statistic to show how 'lazy' people are... what a bunch of LOSERS!

I don't live in Easterhouse and I already have a job, to which I will need to return as the lunch hour is almost over. But it's fun to see Sydney trying to cover up his hopeless incompetence with bluster and the assumed superiority - "laddy!" - that comes with his self-declared alcohol habit.

Why have things become so bad on here or has it always been like this? Far too many inane posts and abusive responses.
I was interested in the views expressed about zebra crossings and the opinion that people in Glasgow would no longer know what to do if confronted by one. I hope that is not a serious view-point. I cannot imagine any reasonably intelligent adult driving along and seeing the road painted with thick black and white paint next to flashing belisha beacons on the pavement, seeing pedestrians waiting and asking themselves "I wonder what I am supposed to do here."

Yep, but that's a developmental thing. Although they grow out of it, young kids are in the centre of their own universe. Something I've noticed recently, and thi sis a worrying thing, is that there really seems to be an increase in the number of kids playing 'chicken' with traffic. Seen it an awful lot recently.

It must be that Glasgow is socially excluded from having such road traffic calming measures and we instead have to be irritated to fcuk with red lights every 15 seconds along with loud beeps for the aid of zombies and auld grannies wi the burst tights.
It seems therefore that Glasgow is a law unto itself - Purcell and Co are The Untouchables haha.

I wonder if the people who forgot to put some kind of traffic calming measures in place for a primary school, are the same ones who have been taking strike action for a decent pay rise??? If so, it doesn't say much for the intelligence of the workers at GCC. Maybe Purcell IS the smartest!!! God help you all if he is...

Oh come on. No-one designs a car for the specific purpose of killing. Some may be unduly dangerous as a side-effect of trying to achieve something else, but they're not designed specifically to be dangerous.
RE: Zebra crossings. A couple were installed at Stobhill Hospital last year. The biggest problem I found was that pedestrians didn't know how to work them; I stopped my car, they just stood there.

There are zebra crossings in Glasgow! There are at least six within half a mile of my house. And they've been there for decades.
Jeez.

- Mosspark Boulevard (Not been on that road since the 1980's)
Thats the best up to date info I can provide, maybe somebody else will tell us if the unknown spots I've mentioned have a zebra.

Sydney M - You forgot to mention the 2 big Zebra crossings at Glasgow Airport - There's one at the start of Runway 23, and another at the start of Runway 05!!..

Should we campaign to bring back "The Tufty Club" to improve road safety?
I like a nice bit of fresh tuft every now and again.

Ahh... I see that is the usual cooncil worker's interpretation of a lunch hour: from 12:33pm to 1:58pm... no doubt you'll still find the time to jump to the cooncil bogs to make sure your bikini line's well waxed for your trip to Bennetts tonight?

It's amusing to see that Sydney thinks I'm some sort of clerical worker for the local authority. Wrong. But unlike him I am not free to spend the whole day spilling bile on the internet and have to take care of business.
Moving on, though - what is his obsession with Bennett's nightclub about? For those who don't know, Bennett's in Glassford Street is a long established gay venue. Sydney seems to think that if he suggests that someone might visit Bennett's, he is in some way scoring a point, and making an insult.
Sydney, you might think you're scoring a point by those remarks, but all you're doing is showing yourself up as a sleazy wee bigot. A bit like Sam from Greenock, but more drunk.

[/quote] hmmmmm - anyone want to bet that Sydney stalks Revolver and the Polo Lounge to see if he can see any council workers - preying that Steven Purcell might be one of them???
And last week Sydney had a go at me about "degrading fetishes" almost as if he knew something about them.
Most suspicious!

Sydney will be the one in the golf jumper nursing his half 'n' half; and if anyone asks, he's just there for "the banter." A man with issues, I think.

Gotta admit, Glasgow is a bit poor for such crossings, never mind being folks being poor in the pocket or the population living in poorly constructed and planned communities.

will the kids get a traffic patrol guard before the 2014 games,?after all we must get our priorities right.....the visitors and competitors need wardens to give directions, maybe the visitors from abroad can help direct the children across busy streets.!now there is a thought.
