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

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
