If you use the Lido and in particular the gym or spa there, or take classes ... or are just curious about the facility ... some of us users have started a Facebook forum to better be able to get to know each other as well as feed back (both positives and negatives) to BLU (the Brockwell Lido Users Group) and to Fusion, who run the place. These are basically community pages.


It's always hard launching something like this and getting attention, so check it out and give it a "like"! If you're on Facebook, that is. You don't need to be on Facebook to look at the stuff but if you are, you're welcome to add your comments!

Use to love the Brockwell Lido in the pool every 6am until they 'removed' Paul as the manager. Caf? use to display 'local & Community' activities, then that was ripped down and replaced by only Lido activities........ so don't use caf? either!


Toad uses other pools!


Any connections between Chains & Fusion? Cash = Flash!, Toad knows far too many people who just get on with it without paying ????? to the chain.


No bitterness though when Paul was removed......... please keep this thread going Brockwell Lido, lots more to say!

It is a long lease which Lambeth created with Fusion. I liked Paul Maier too ... Jeremy as well. We had lots of pow wows. He helped start the Modern Movement too. And agreed his replacement was very hard work and did some outrageous stuff. But she was yanked after protest (nearly a sit-in in December) and am encouraged by her replacement so far. He has allowed us to display handbills for the facebook around the dryside of the place and put some up himself. This is one of the reasons for the facebook thing. if you want to be read, go on it and add your comments. both the manager and BLU seem to be reading the wall. I'm not sure they will come to the ED forum. I appreciate what you say about the bulletin board - we should be on there too. We are trying to get on it now. Meeting some resistance but one of the facebook administrators met with BLU heads this week and brought it up again.

Well Ant, the word's Italian meaning beach. So if it came from the original then it should be lee-do.


However, like the French word promen-ah-de which is often pronounced promen-ay-de, it became so corrupted after allowing the working classes to both read and travel that it can be pronounced whichever way you choose.


You could even have some fun trying to persuade people to put the stress on the second syllable: l'DOH

    • Thanks 🙏 I appreciate your reply 
    • Another bite for JAGS ( James Allen Girls school) classes are excellent too. There is also Dulwich boys but less light and airy )might be better nor as haven’t been for a while) 
    • Photos. Every single piece of litter in that photo (if you enlarge it you can see lots more pieces) was dropped by the bin men in the background. I don't blame them - it would destroy their backs to pick it all up. Perhaps they should try to not drop so much litter in the first place...  These photos were taken on the 1st March - a Saturday. The street cleaner, who does an excellent job around Underhill Road and Melford Road, bags up the rubbish and leaves them on a Thursday generally. They are supposed to be collected the same day or the next day at the latest. They weren't collected. The first photo was November. It was a very large number of poo bags. I reported it to Southwark but they took 3 days to collect it. In the meantime the bags were squashed and the faeces was spread everywhere, photo 2. It would mean that everyone who walked along that bit of road will have spread it a bit further, along with the vehicles, so that it went into a lot of people's houses.  Over to you Sue. In this photo you can see the litter that was dropped by the bin men (I feel bad as they are really nice and work really hard often going into people's properties to get the bins that weren't put out - usually at a semi-jog speed; it must be exhausting and its not their fault that Southwark doesn't give them enough time to do their job properly. Maybe they should sack their team of EDF astro-turfers to save some money?), the split blue bag with some birds sorting the contents on the pavement, and the refuse truck in the background. I don't blame the workers, I blame Southwark. I am also annoyed at you, Sue, for saying this is an exaggeration and is basically a lie; something you do all over the forum (along with the cycling trolls). I have a lot more pictures too.
