Hang on Sue !. I thought you were planning on getting a Bicycle... and now there is Cycle hanger at the end of our road...

You have no excuse...


.. Bicycles and Ale are never a good combination... though it seems to be a good idea until you have to push the thing home. :)

Which suggests that it's probably a good shop name (even if it is grim). You (who I suspect has no interest in yoga and sports wear) noticed it and remembered it. That's a catchy name.

oh, but there is science involved...it's not just pretty colours and exclusive price tags. It's about ergonomically designed clothes and all sorts of other factors..


Did you know - for example "In sport, compression clothing has been designed to improve recovery following exercise and training. A similar concept applies to the tight-fitting shirts worn by a number of the teams in the finals of the 2007 World Cup for Rugby Union, with claims of increasing energy levels through transfer of ions to the body".


I quite like watching the rugby, hadn't though there was a reason for their tight tops....

I can imagine people who are properly in to their yoga splashing out on this stuff. Just as with any sport, if it becomes a real passion you'll go out and buy good gear. But most people that just enjoy a knock about will just wear their shorts and t-shirts.

I quite like the concept of www.fatladattheback.com (although it seems they specialise in cycling).


Personally, I like swimming, but wearing the right gear for sport can make you more inclined to actually use your gym membership....

I'll definitely have a look when it opens and maybe find some inspiration.


Maybe we could have a ED runners club (beginners-and-not-too-far for starters...

    • The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.
    • I did see a few Victoria bound 185's on East Dulwich road around 5pm this evening. Coming from the Rye end and heading toward Goose green
    • I cant quite pinpoint where she is exactly. But currently notice I am not hearing her this evening!! She has a microphone?
