There are also some 'installations' around the road in the park that look as if they are keep-fit orientated. Last time I went around the park they were still bubble-wrapped, so difficult to tell. I hope to see a few 'fit' men embarrassing themselves soon!!

I think it's great whoever paid for them, playing table tennis outside on summer evenings, even very badly is one of lifes great and free luxuries, they have them every where in Switzerland. normal bat and ball, hey presto!! They have one on Hilly Feilds too which seemed very popular today.

Table tennis?! Fantastic.


I recently played neon table-tennis at Shunt bar, London Bridge. The wires between bat and table slightly interupted the quality of play (or maybe it was the G&Ts), but it reminded me what a great game it is.


Someone should organise a friendly tournament...?

Oh for goodness sake.


Just because you don't like these things doesn't mean to say that nobody else does.


I read the magazine, and I am looking forward to playing table tennis in the park.


I think it's a great use of council tax and makes the borough a nicer and more interesting place to live in.

I agree, I bow to no one in my irritation when public money is wasted, but this is a great idea - for a few thousand quid, thousands of people can get enjoyment out of the new tables and exercise equipment until the things rust away. Its a great idea and money well spent.
Nice to see some of you like Table Tennis, I played competitively for 30 years and have around 150 cups and trophies, former Kent Junior and Senior champion, National quarter finalist 1976! stopped in 1994. I was the Dulwich league champion in 1984. Pic attatched of part of the trophy cabinet, note the wine glass which indicates a fondness for red wine.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
