This very expensive chinook helicopter,probably could be doing more important things rather than spend a few hours.

entertaining the privalleged elite at Alleyns ,

What a decadent waste of money and proving we are not all in it together,Southwark cannot even afford traffic safety officers for kiddies.

Some people up there in Dulwich are thumbing their noses at the rest of us it seems.

Quite right. How DARE people spend money in ways that you do not approve of.

Pathetic Tarot, you really must try and knock these chips off your shoulders.


The parachute drops were part of regular training exercise which would have to be done anyway. When my cousin was a para he had to do a minimum of 4 day and 4 night jumps every year. So where it's done is of no significance.


Doing it over Alleyn's makes sense as the school has one of the largest CCF (Combined Cadet Force) operations in the UK and would be of direct interest to the cadets.


Pupils attend CCF in their own time after school hours. It is very useful in building team spirit, instill self-confidence and develop leadership skills. Quite a few ex cadets go on to have careers in the military - serving the country.

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
