Went on the new tube at Honor Oak and came home with bagles from whitechaple for breakfast. It was tubalishious! Its a funny link up, a bit of a circle, think Green Park and Bond street are now easy to get to. Anyone else found great days/ evenings out?


PS not sure if calling it the Tube is correct, but i'm just enjoying it! Tube tube tube:))


Edited to add..


Just read train post, sorry did not realise it was such a hot topic.

HOP does NOT have a tube service, its the Overground which currently runs next to and in conjunction with Southern trains. The Southern train stations New Cross Gate to West Croydon have changed from the previous Southern trains franchise to London Overground, so please do not say HOP is on the tube as it ain't!1

Still the old, clanky East London line, with a bit added on to me ;)


Actually, been catching it from Brockley/New Cross to Canada Water via 343/484 bus to get from Peckham Rye to Canary Wharf without going Zone 1 - and it can be faster. Definitly a nice ride and I lke the 'open' structure of the carriages.


You can get to Croydon too .... Is that good :)

Pecanpie, you are getting beigels (pron. bygels) or bagels in Whitechapel, not bagles. The ones in Brick Lane are different to the ones in North London shops like Golders Green in case you ever wanted to do a taste testing. The ones at Sainsbury are absolutely rubbish and are just like a roll with a hole in the middle.

Whilst the new ELL is branded as 'London Overground' the old ELL used to be part of the tube and it is now run by TfL who run the tube. London Overground is run to tube standards - ie stations staffed at all times that trains run etc.


Compare some of the other lines (North London Line, Goblin etc) as they were run - as Cinderella service lines tacked on to franchises - with how they are now under TfL and I think you would find that they are effectively tube lines. More of the 'Underground' is overground than underground anyway. (Can't help feeling that the word 'wombling' should have appeared somewhere in that last sentence).

Is this line going to make it easier to get to the Olympic stadium in 2012? Will it go direct to Stratford or will we have to change somewhere, I like the idea of a direct route to the Olympics - would take out a lot of hassle.


On same subject has anyone signed up for Olympic tickets yet? Does doing so give you any advantage when tickets are released?

No advantage from the pre-registering apart from you get an email saying tickets are on sale I believe. As I understand there are no preferential offers for Londoners despite our paying extra toward it (which I don't mind by the way), and it's against EU law for UK people to have any priority over anyone else in Europe.

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
