I know the heading of this thread isn't a great opener.......but......I'm organising a very small, low key get together for a friend getting married in June. (you could almost call it a hen party..:) And I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for doing something a little different than the usual spa / brunches etc.


Ideally we want to do an activity of some description around Peckham / South East London and then have a local dinner, so it's more the activity that I'd like some fellow forum'ers help with. The bride to be is Spanish as are 8 out of the 11 people attending. We were thinking of hiring a canal boat for the day, but as we have left it a little last minute (happening in two weeks) everywhere seems booked up.


So any suggestions would be helpful, alternatively if anyone knows of a skipper with a boat do PM me!

Thanks, thanks, and thanks again!

Unless you must do it on a Saturday this boat seems to have availability: https://www.designmynight.com/london/event-space/kings-cross/canal-boat-party

What do the Spanish do? Friend of mine lived in Munich and she had to dress up as a fr?ulein and try to sell home made cakes in the street. He donned a false moustache, lederhosen, long socks and a Bavarian hat (not sure what he had to sell in the street).


I thought what an unusual hen/stag do. Not sure why the two of them didn't like it!

For my sisters hen do we had a private flamenco class. The teacher booked a room in a gym and we met there. It was fun and I brought props - a flamenco style skirt, flowers to wear in her hair etc. We're not Spanish but we like dancing. It was 8 years ago so I don't have details of the teacher but I found her through an internet search.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
