What time did you all set off running? I wandered down to Barry Road about 3:15pm but couldn't see any sign (unless you were all a tame looking bunch this year, which I doubt!). Sounds like a good day was had, hope to join in next time.

Would just like to add my thanks to everybody involved in making Saturday a truly tremendous day. I think that may have been the best one yet but to be fair they've all been pretty amazing days that do just seem to get better and better.


Keep an eye out for the Southwark News on Thursday....


I would also just like to say that picture 50 from Caroline's Photbox may suggest that I was boarding a bus but I was merely inspecting the passengers to ensure that there were no competitors on the cheat. And of course there was not.


Thanks again Sports Fans, please return your Laser settings to stun

Hahaha! Of course! I can confirm that no contenders were on the bus with me and my camera at all;-)


Siduhe - follow the links to my photos above, and you'll see plenty of the avocado, which was a superb costume indeed!


I shall look forward to next year's race.

I saw it on a table as we were leaving the Clock House...on right hand side. We left the Clock House pretty late, so I guess it is probably still there (I think you left before us?). You could give them a ring if you haven't already done so.

Think it was nearer 4pm the race kicked off - happened to be heading home after a birthday party (1st birthday thus the early finish!) and managed to see all of the competitors from the car, was like poetry in motion! Saw the avocado lady, but was the dashing (as in running) chap in the dress that puzzled me ;-)


Was shame couldn't stop to say hi, but with snoozing bugglet and the weeks shopping in the boot wasn't practical :(

Indeed it was I, the reindeer-clad youth who won the race. The question i'm after is HOW to I get my trip to the top of el Shard?


Thank you very much all for a very enjoyable event, I am very much intending to try and defend my crown next year.


Thank you please.

      ‘Welcome’ Donald Trump to Windsor when he arrives there tomorrow (Tuesday 16th September)

      By vladi · Posted

      You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.
