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

    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
