they are sly, cunning, pooing creatures, but are utterly stupid.

Thanks, will try AJ Farmers and both Superdrug and B&M sell them.

100ml airport friendly plastic bottles for travelling - where to buy locally?

How about calling the thread "rubber lovers" 🤣🤣🤣

Have you tried Krystals in Nunhead

you'd need a whopping sized pan to cook it in whatever you did with it!!!!!!!!!!

A very good reason for Gala never ever to be repeated.

the aftermath of the Gala https://x.com/HornimanHeights/status/1796807220195213598

huge eggs

Went in around lunchtime, was told by a customer in the carpark it was cash only, HOWEVER that was not the case. Yes the initial queue was longer than normal and the store was busier than it has been for the last 6 weeks, but the queues worked their way through and it was actually OK.

yes, cause you've advertised it here alreadyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I'd suggest taking pictures and sending them to the council expressing your exasperation and asking for them to attend to the garden works which need remedying.

In past years have been able to hear the base further up Forest Hill Road, but not so this year, perhaps the wind isn't in this direction??? However people urinating behind bins or in bushes is totally unacceptable, I sympathise with all those affected and who have had to witness this. A few years ago the Horniman Gardens held a food event, cars parked everywhere and people urinating anywhere they could, very disrespectful.

24th - 26th

Maybe it should be renamed the mud bog festival, just a thought.

Any recommendations for afternoon tea in Greemwich, please?

Went past on the bus earlier and saw all the barriers which have been erected, they actually look to be the same height as last year from memory, However they totally obscure the view of the park, I feel sorry for all those living opposite who have to see this each morning for the entirety of the event.

I agree, I didn't think any tree work was allowed during nesting season, perhaps inform the council of this.

London's Fallen. The Mayor, was, is and will remain a disaster for London "Sadiq Khan’s legacy: 772 six figure earners in TfL alone, 18 TfL employees on over £250,000 Sadiq paid himself £171,587 in 2022-23, up £21,000 from four years ago, What do you get? 4.99% council tax increase, ULEZ tax, Mayoral tax doubled to £471, Knife crime up, Acid attack capital of the world, Shoplifting up 48% Muggings and picketing up x3 He’s filling his mates and his own pockets, laughing at you in his bullet proof Range Rover Sentinel paid for by the taxpayer." "More than 1000 of his City Hall staff are on a salary of £100,000 or more per year" So were is the value of money in that , and you know what, we all pay for it from our council tax. More administration and more of a burden on the people. He is out of touch with reality. And as for Susan Hall, her campaign was only about Ulez, it was the only thing she ever brought up, when London has so many other problems that she didn't ever mention once. Her hope was that the voters in the outer London Boroughs would get her over the line, she failed miserably. And why does the new mayor think Londoners should provide school meals for children, not his, or our responsibility, or does he now control the running of schools as well. And as for air quality, its been proven Ulez has made practically NO difference. Where is all the money he's generated, certainly not back into London, otherwise he wouldn't have raised his part of the council tax for 2024/25 by 8.3%. WE pay more and get less each and every year. Well if that's the case, the scrutiny of borough councils needs to increase 1000+ fold and be held to account for the actions they take and the decisions they make. His "winners" speech was no more than hot air, saying how he represents all Londoners, I'll tell you what, lets switch Mayors and have Andy Burnham, Manchester can have Khan, At least Burnham is a proper politician with proper values who actually cares about people.

no, there is still the Lidl at the Bricklayers Arms end of the Old Kent Rd

Preference is for Lidl Old Ken Road (the top end) a few doors down from where Aldi used to be. Its large and the range and choice I find are good.

FH is so much greener and IMO nicer than ED, sorry. Less commercialised. The Great North Wood, Hornimans Gardens, Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill ) yep, some of that borders ED, so split between the two)

Tesco sell pudding rice https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254877391 And as for olive oil, my preference is the Spanish 2L cans in Sainsbury, it has a real nice peppery taste, not bland like the Italian one's I've tasted, but that's personal preference I suppose.
