Agreed.

Good to see you on here Sandperson. About time you backed a good team! ;-) Hope you have fun with your kid. My daughters often come with me and run pretty freely around the place. So long as you keep an eye on the main gate there is nowhere they can really go and there are always loads of kids kicking balls about and stuff.

One would hope not, but this bitter sad little person could drag it out. I just can't think what personal reason they'd have for being this horrible, other than a (misguided) belief that it would lead to loads of pissed up noisy hooligans. Which it obviously wouldn't.

Spider69 you are a ray of sunshine.

There is plenty of green space and trees to enjoy for one city. All that this is about is a bunch of entitled people thinking they should have the right to demand this and that. It is a CEMETARY It is not "southwark woods", because "southwark woods" only exists in your imagination. The point of a cemetary is burials, not to be a nice spot for a walk. What is up with you people? I seriously could have gotten behind a petition to tidy up the cemetary but leave it largely preserved. I don't agree with burial. But your "campaign" is a joke and Lewis has done it so much damage I'm starting to wonder if he's a double agent. He;s definitely loving the attention.

Ah Beckenham. IUsed to be the place saaf Londoners went when they had a few quid and wanted to feel like they've made it whilst looking down their noses at the people living in the places they had grown up in. Sure it's improving, but there are too many of those types still there for my liking.

More entitlement.

Why get nearly towards one specific poster spider69? Clearly the business model has failed, but I don't think Jeremy (who has said he has used the place for breakfasts and cakes) can be personally held responsible for bringing it to its knees with his coffee drinking exploits.

"After trying to reason with him, he told us if we couldn?t pay, he could find someone who could which basically tells us that he doesn?t care about our livelihood or the local community." That's pretty much the rub. "Can they really be allowed to ruin so many independent businesses and form the neighbourhood as they please?" This is just what happens and has always happened. Little shops open, people with money are attracted to an area, people without money are priced out of the area, landlords see all the people with money and get greedy, all the things that attracted the money to the area go and are replaced by larger and wealthier businesses. It's not right or fair, but it is how it is.

And as a non football fan you will have a MUCH MUCH better time than you would at a Premiership match.

Take them to Dulwich Hamlet, they will have a much better time!

I've never been and don't know what this place offers for kids, but having read this thread I'm wondering if a small charge per child might work? When you think what you spend to take a kid to soft play or something, a couple of pounds to take them here could be a better option, and help the business to run. Other than Hornimans there are very few free indoor places for a rainy day.

It's so fizzy I don't know how anyone can drink it.

Yeah the drinks are not good. Even for a common lager drinker like myself the choice is Stella or one of the generic darling/Carlsberg/Fosters rubbish, which is not a good choice. But I like the place.

All I mean is that a place can appear constantly busy but not be taking much money.

I'm actually with Grok on this. We can argue about whether duo witch estates have been unfair or not, but this stuff about broken hearted kids is emotive drivel.

Send him to dulwich hamlet.

I thought they stopped existing years ago (when they merged with Lloyds).

So Adebayor to Palace. I actually think that's a good move for Palace. Whatever you may think of him, he can score goals which they need, and it's only til the end of the season. Worth the risk IMO, like having someone on a trial.

Maybe he just wanted an excuse to go to the pub.

But seriously, let's not start name calling. Lewis for all of the nonsense he's written, has not been rude or personal.

Yeah, my old man worked in a fish market in Brixton for years, the smell of his coat when he'd come home has psychologically scarred me. Annoying really, as he used to bring home lovely (if you're in to that filth) fresh salmon and stuff like that which him and my mum would enjoy, but I never got the "benefit". I have a colleague now who will have a fishy lunch at least once or twice a week. I have to sit there breathing through my mouth, and can't start eating my food until she's finished. I seriously hate the smell of fish, and anything that smells like that can't taste good (in my mind).
