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.

Since moving from ED I've been going to several new (to me pubs)....and love them.


Railway at Tulse hill

Tulse Hill Hotel

Goldsmiths at Penge

Royal Albert at New Cross

Sylvan Post Forest Hill


Working my way toward Gypsy Hill next...

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

    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
