I have just returned from walking my doglet around Dulwich Park and I must say, I have been traumatised by what I have witnessed there (sob).


Instead of the outdoor exercise machines being used by fit and perky people, going about their daily exercise routines in close fitting lycra, the various pieces of apparatus have commandeered by troups of elderly folk, who park their mobility scooters next to the various appliances and tentatively transfer on! They looked like some sort of Val Doonican flash mob.


Dulwich Park will be a laughing stock: a middle class, elderly version of Muscle Beach, all M&S golf jumpers, react-to-light reading glasses and plastic rain scarfs.


We simply must put a stop to this (stomps foot), or at least install a couple of those red string pull alarms so that they can call an ambulance if they break a hip.


Couldn't we put special mesh on the grass around these machines to burst their tyres? It is all so undignified.

I must say that I saw the BMF people in Dulwich Park this morning and it was a joy to watch! I love to sit on a park bench, sipping my coffee, observing while the fine ladies of Dulwich are beasted and forced to do press ups where my dog has just rolled in fox poo!


I am physically perfect (naturally) and do not require exercise of any sort (sigh).

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
