Does anyone know if any ED or nearby petrol stations have the hand held jet washers - I want to power wash my bike. Thanks

The latter is an old school body building gym.

A 10 min car journey. This is what this scheme is for. To make people change behaviour - stupid behaviour like this.

All depends what you mean by close. Grantchester meadows in Cambridgeshire are just a 90min drive away and you can have a lovely dip in the Cam. There are parts of the River Mole in Surrey that you can go in for a dip and a splash but not really swimming. Near the stepping stones at the base of Box Hill is quite deep but lots of dogs. Sea swimming off the Kent coast is often quite pleasant at this time of year. I swam at Deal a few years back and it was like a mill pond and pretty mild too.

Many thanks James! A very pragmatic decision.

Hi James Why have all the benches in Dulwich Park been covered in plastic mesh? I understand we wish to discourage people from being in parks when they shouldn't be but if someone needs a rest or to sit down this doesn't seem unreasonable. Covering them all up feels very much an overreaction and unnecessary at this point. Thanks DC

Any eggs? Rare as the teeth of the birds that lay them at the moment

Because frankly I'm bored of hearing ill-informed opinions from know-nothings on vox-pops. If Bob doesn't know what he's on about, why the feck do we have to listen to him? Does he understand about trade deals or the four freedoms that the EU is built on? No? Then put someone on TV that does so we can all learn something and educate ourselves. Bob gets to vote. He doesn't get to be on my TV.

God this sort of vox-pop shit makes me want to claw my own eyes out. The average resident of No10 anywheresville Street knows precisely bugger all about anything. They aren't economic or healthcare experts so why interview them about it? The BBC is meant to be holding politicians to account, not just repeating the tired drivel of "get it done" or "we're full". Just because Mrs Miggins thinks we should spend our nuclear deterrent budget on hedgehog sanctuaries you shouldn't give her airtime. Here's a better idea...go to a hospital and interview a doctor. Go to a school and interview a teacher. Go to a care home and interview the eastern european immigrant paid minimum wage to wipe the arse of the relative you forgot about. Or go to a university and speak to an economics professor or someone who can explain spending forecasts. You know, experts. People who might contribute something valuable rather than 15 second soundbites of trite bullshit. My nan used to live at no10 and for years voted for the politician who she thought had the nicest teeth. Make of that what you will.

Would definitely suggest you consider cycling. Much cheaper - insurance is cheap, no petrol, kit is cheaper (unless you buy Rapha!) and the bike itself is cheaper. Better for you and the environment and no less safe (possibly more so). Easier to park. ED to West End is probably 35-45 mins according to exact locations and speed.

Would this not be a matter for the London Wildlife Trust rather than the council?
