I used to play darts and was in the Uplands team... We used to go to different pubs each week in competitions where each pubs would provide free food. Crystal Palace Tavern.. (NOT The CPT) , Pubs in Surrey Quays and Peckham who's names escape me which are no longer there. A place in Brockley .. The Windmill ??? no longer there.. The Rye Hotel.. It was a really good night out.. Cant see that ever returning... Free Food.. ?? Yeah Even with 6 teams of 8-10 all knocking back gallons of ale. Forget pool tables.. DulwichFox P.S Peckham pub was The Admiral Codrington off of Wells Way.. Old Bikers pub..

Then new operator(s) came in with a business model that worked better. The Foresters had 2 Pool Tables in the back extension which they claimed brought in a fortune.. Well it didn't but as where ever there is a pool table there were rows and scuffles... The Bishop put tables and chairs in the same space and had people eating and drinking.. I detest pool tables in pubs.. DulwichFox

Pubs do not smell like pubs any more.... Remember when you used to walk into a pub on Sunday Morning.. Opening time. Now they smell of Fish and Fried food and Red Bull Foxy

So yes, I > do think it's about encouraging cycling. No different to prams and buggies... Like I said earlier , are we to see buggy stores as well .. When I lived in Peckham as a kid.. our flats had pram sheds in separate blocks on the estate. Not in the road.. Foxy

This could be anything according to why your car was at the garage... Time checking tyres and adjusting to correct pressure.. Topping up Coolant .. Checking Break fluid levels .. Checking Oil level, filters, Air filters . Hoses.. Replacing worn Nuts / Bolts / fixing Screws.. Mostly to prevent a second visit.. DulwichFox

We are all told to have 2-3 days alcohol free each week.. Since I retired in 2008 apart from shopping and my daily walk 5,000+ steps I spend too much time indoors. My nightly excursions are mostly for social reasons. Let people see I am still alive. ..and reassure myself likewise.. Its been many years (20+) since I was last even remotely drunk ? I was not even aware of the term Dry January. It was a financial thing after being hit with over ?400.00 of unexpected bills on top of Xmas expenditure. I have no intention of giving up entirely. I started cutting down around 2011.. I won't be out tonight.. Tomorrow in The Bishop.. alcohol free.. Looking forward to all the complimentary beers from Forumites on my return to normality. :) Foxy

Robert the Bruce.. Whilst in the cave and at the depths of despair, King Robert happened to watch a spider attempting to build a web - the spider would spin then fall, get up and spin again and again relentlessly until it eventually made the web. Don't give up Otta Foxy

This is the same as The Microsoft Scam.. They ask you to bring up 'eventvwr' Event Viewer . All perfectly safe.. Here you will see Errors which they will tell you are Viruses.. They are not.. They are normal messages and you do not need to be concerned. http://www.trustedit.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/eventvwr3.png They then tell you to download from a link they will give you. If you do.. They have complete control of your P.C. and can steal your data. They will instruct you not to close down you P.C. until they have 'cleaned ' ypur P.C They will also ask for Credit card details to make a payment for the service.. Its a SCAM.. DulwichFox

When I post a long message on EDF and after a few mins. it times out and I lose the lot. I usually type in notepad and cut and paste. but sometimes I forget.. Grrrrh Foxy.

I'm with you now *bob* WalfordFox

Well I reckon if we ever get Community Parking Zones (CPZ) in the area, every available space will be made available for parking. Bike hangers will disappear.. Most Yellow Lines where parking was considered as unsafe areas to park will be erased and made available for paid parking. You mark my words.. DulwichFox

Perhaps if Southwark council were really serious about more people cycling and giving up there cars.. .. they could introduce a scheme were those people who do relinquish there cars would get a ?50.00 voucher towards the cost of a new bike. This would free up spaces and make parking easier for the likes of people who rely on their cars and those who for what ever reason cannot cycle. DulwichFox
