Thanks LM - I've worked at IBs on and off for a decade or so, so have a little understanding of how they're structured. I imagine there are quite a few ED residents who work at IBs, but not many "bankers". And even if there were - the Gekko stereotype has moved on a bit, at least aesthetically. Hence my question.

Bishop was OK when the clocks went forward when they

stayed open until 2AM which became 3AM - but definitely

quieter these days.


New Cross is lively these days (probably Goldsmiths students) :)

New Cross, Brixton, Peckham if you're more youthful than I. The white horse in Pecknam I quite like. There are some decent pubs in Dulwich too though. It's great how the whole of SE London is changing, with new places opening up all the time.

Not sure. An empty pub is rarely fun. A pub in Harlow full of tracksuited nitwits shouting at the football isn't much fun either, no matter who you're with.

I meant - I've had some really great nights in complete dumps, because I was keeping hilarious company.

Back to the original theme of the thread I think Sweaty Betty is a complete waste of time.

if I want work out gear I go to Decathlon In Surrey Quays/Canada water.

Great choice and really good value for pretty decent quality stuff.

I think its pointless spending a bomb on things you will sweat in and that need constant washing.

TK Maxx are pretty goof for branded sportswear too - under half price. I guess it's "last season" but I really couldn't care less - not like I replace my sportswear each season anyway. I might check Sweaty Betty out in the sale, but their usual prices are way more than I would spend on sportswear.

Yes but it's "more than something to sweat in, it's a tool for transformation"


That's what Tamara's inspirational omni-channel sports retailer of the year, one to watch, award winning website will tell you. Even when you're paddle boarding in Witterings or mid-run on a copa cabana beach, not driving your 1970's VW convertible with your dog Ennis thinking of your global fitness powerhouse or going to the coffee shop on the paddle board


Did I mention the paddle board already?


Yeah ok, so now you know

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s

      The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.

      Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
