...Anyway, where / what is this new oyster place?

They have a delicacy and freshness about them. There probably is something about the ritual of it as well and associations with being by the sea.

I love oysters, but I love most shell fish, including cockles and mussels etc. It's nothing to do with branding, or some imagined 'exclusivity'. I just like them.

If you believe many of the posts on here, every pub is in fact little more than creche these days and 90% of the customers are under 10. Of course if you don't, then the answer would be that there is really only the Victoria with a manky kids room. The Herne used to have a play area in their garden, but I believe it's gone now.

"...The first route to come under the next Mayor's control will be Southeastern in 2018, followed by Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern services in 2021. The South West trains franchise is currently under negotiation but is likely to include a "break clause" that means it could be taken over in 2019."

Come on Fox, you strike me as a smart fellow, I am sure you can see the difference.

It wasn't aimed at anyone in particular.

The difficulty in keeping a bike if you live in a flat, or even a house where you may have to store your bike in the hallway for example, is a major factor in discouraging regular cycling. So yes, I do think it's about encouraging cycling.

I really enjoyed it. Yes, it was basically an updated remake of the original, but that's probably why it was so good. And the ending was brilliant - can't wait for the next one. Sure, it was all very nostalgic, but that is 90% of what adult viewers are there to indulge in anyway. Rey is a great character as well.

Ed and surrounding areas has loads of good places to get a brew imo. A pretty decent variety to, to cover most tastes.

I cannot understand how people identify as being 'anti cycling' just because they've seen someone on a bike acting like a dick. The psychology is actually quite ugly - picking on a visible 'out group' and then indulging in a healthy bit of confirmation bias to help identify and generalise any observed negative behaviours to the 'group'. Jeez, cylcists aren't even a coherent group in the first place - The vast majority are also car drivers. The idea that there is a particular problem with cyclists causing carnage on the roads through their unique lack of abidance for the rules of the road, simply isn't born out by the facts. Of all the modes of transport to direct your ire at, cycling is surely the most benign (after walking). People who rant against cyclists are in my opinion, engaged in a rather obvious form of displacement activity.

Before these can be installed, there has to be a consultation. Proposed locations have changed as the result of responses to these consultations, so it is worth engaging. I would suggest that people who are interested in having such a facility on their street, get together with neighbours and think about where it might best be located and petition to have them bookended with some tree planting. These are a really useful thing to have on your street so why not be proactive in both getting one and in ensuring that it's put in the right place and the visual impact is miniimised. I would love to see more of these across the Borough and hopefully, some secure bike parking at Brixton Tube.

It's batty. Who doesn't have scales in their kitchen.
