I have never understood this fascination with gyms and fitness contraptions. I shall never set foot in a gym, who would want to work out in a room choc full of egotistical sweaty people, there to show off? It is not for everyone.


I tried that British Military Fitness, but just ended up with a broken nail and dog poo on my cashmere tracksuit, and as for the power plate I rented to use at home? Well, I spilled far too much Chablis. No, I sit here wearing my Slendertone belt, and it is all the exercise I need (sigh).


God only knows the sort of people that these machines will attract into the park. They will be up to no good and within sight of the children's play area too! Only this afternoon I saw an enormous, floppy haired, Guardian reader careering about on roller blades in very short cycling shorts, and he must have been at least fifty! You would never catch any of the super Dulwich dads I know, engaged in such antics. They are all still nursing their heads from Cheltenham or some other corporate rugby beano.


I swear that they must bus these people in from Lambeth.

I have seen them. Think the placement is very odd right next to the pavement. If you use them it will like being on a stage. At least the one in Peckham Rye are in their own little enclave.


The signs on the ones in Peckham Rye say they aren't for children so why do you let your kids use them ImpetuousVrouw?

One of the Peckham Rye park keeper guys said their ones are for kids from about 10 upwards, he said they are not meant for adults.


It's the little kids that are not really supposed to be on them because it can be a bit dangerous.


I was told that they were put next to the skate park to encourage older kids to get used to fitness type equipment.

Of course they are meant for adults and if you read the instructions on them most will say from 12 years ,this includes adults! its obvious that anybody,child or adult who are too small to use the equipment sensibly and safetly should not be allowed on them.These gyms were first introduced in China for the 'older' adult to be able to take gentle and safe exercise (and free! )

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
