Re Quids comment: "Yup and thank Ed Balls too. That's when he was still being a highly competent and effective chancellor...then he lost it in hubris and hype." Point of information - Mr Balls has never been Chancellor. It was Alastair Darling. Balls was his Chief Secretary.

"Two things - I don't understand why (possibly) rude and (possibly) thoughtless cyclists should be branded as ignorant. In what way are they demonstrating lack of knowledge? Care, perhaps. Second - cyclists if coming up fast behind pedestrians need to make sure that the pedestrian will be holding a steady line - elderly pedestrians (I'm one) can easily veer sideways or stagger - obviously anyone with a child may make sudden sideways movements (or their child might) - as a walker I occcasionally have to do so to avoid unexpected gifts from thoughtless dog-walkers. When I have cycled I tended to slow down when passing people in case they made unexpected movements, as a driver I certainly do when passing cyclists - who again do not always maintain a steady line - for instance when steering round potholes. A cyclist coming up very fast behind you and apparently not slowing or 'noticing' you, the walker, can leave you genuinely scared that it was only by chance that they avoided an accident, had you by chance (and reasonably) diverted your path at the moment they passed. Cyclists are very quiet, if you are talking, or listening to music, or just slightly deaf they can come as a real and unwelcome surprise as, and when, they spin past you." Well said, Penguin68, this is an excellent post and - I completely agree with it. Helpful and sober unlike too many of the posts on this topic sadly.

Chain gang - Sam Cooke

murphy, I am sure you are wrong. The astro can be booked by community groups, as can many of the other facilities, like the new theatre. St Barnabas used the school's hall for a while this year until they got the church hall to do the job. While the building work has been going on at the church. The school's website mentions "The Facilities for the Community programme, provides use of Alleyn's facilities at little or no cost to groups, schools and individuals who would not normally be able to access such facilities. The School currently supports approximately 29 local groups, 8 local schools (hosting school sports days, arranging swimming lessons, science clubs). The programme also includes Spanish and Mandarin; Chess tutoring; sailing instruction; ?Woodcraft Folk' and ?Red Thread' youth groups." No doubt some of this might be the usual puff, but some of it is presumably true!!
