I agree. The weight-training machines appears to be by TechnoGym which is swish looking but, from a functional point of view, pretty s**t (please folks don't tell me that you have used it and think it is great - that simply means you have never actually used REALLY good machinery, or don't have the skills to judge the difference). Unfortunately, from visiting a huge number of gyms in the UK over last couple of years, TechnoGym appear to have conducted a very effective marketing campaign and their equipment is pretty much everywhere. This is a shame as there is much better equipment available for the same or lower prices. I am thinking Nautilus, MedX or Hammer. Pointless to expect that the decision makers have the actual knowledge and practical experience to base their purchase on quality of equipment.

"I agree."


With what exactly? I was simply asking a (hopefully humorous) question.


Anyway, my view for what it's worth (I can't use gyms anymore), is that ED leisure centre should only have limited free weights, because otherwise it will almost certainly turn into a grunt gym of the type that excludes most of the wider population, particularly those people it is supposed to be tasked to attract and cater for.

Actually the machines are not really that good for you. Just using free weights is exercise in itself. Also the use of weights in a fixed position is not too clever as the rest of your body does not get used to adjusting itself/does not work in harmony with the extra load. That's were the idea of the ball came from so your body was constantly working as you were doing a focused exercise. Most people's back problems come from inocuous little things like just getting out of a car. Using free weights and other more fluid forms of exercise help you to maintain and build your core strength, which should help you out in the real world when you go about your daily business. Be it getting on a bus, carrying an organic chicken, heckling councillors or even blogging while making love !

Bumping this as a reminder that there's an exhibition at the Dulwich Leisure Centre on Saturday November 24 from 2 to 4pm. "Here you will see conceptual designs of the new refurbishment along with proposed outlines of details to be included. Tea and coffee will be provided and you and your family are most welcome to come along. "

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
