You got off lightly. The kids fair on Goose Green this spring had me ?60 down in the same 1 hour or so duration. The ?8 Paw Patrol helium balloons (image rights prob unlicensed) were beautifully positioned for maximum cash extraction.

Well, I brought the tiny terror a calippo from the ice cream van. She spent about 15 minutes sucking the life out of it, before fastidiously draining the melted remnants of luminous goodness into her little gob. So while that may have cost ?3, in reality it saved me around a tenner.


The other top tip is the large inflatable slide thing, which the kids seem to stay on for as long as they like.

    • Surely the question is whether James Mcash is effective in his various roles? I've seen nothing to suggest otherwise as a GG councillor or cabinet member. No idea about the teaching but he's made a career of it, so one would think he's perfectly fine on that front too. What I do object to is him being elected under one banner and hopping under another one, I suspect out of naked self interest. His headline rationale for the move is scarcely credible. He claims "the council was “planning for funding gaps larger than those faced in almost every year of Conservative and Liberal Democrat austerity, this time imposed by a Labour government...Unless something changes, Labour cuts will devastate the local services that as residents of this fantastic borough, we all rely on.” But what he's actually talking about here is the new Fair Funding Review, undertaken by notorious Tories Angela Rayner and Jim McMahon.   https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/the-fair-funding-review-20/the-fair-funding-review-20 The Fair Funding Review is explicitly about the redistribution of resources based on updated needs assessment, which, last time I looked was a key tenet of the left (including the Greens). Mcash also claims Southwark "cannot and does not stand up the the government" but that simply isn't the case as Southwark, Lambeth and London Councils have objected to the FFR because it fails to take into account Londoners' high housing costs. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/news/2025/southwark-and-lambeth-leaders-call-fair-funding  He seems high on bluster and low on actual detail. And the great problem Greens have to overcome, like everyone else, is that the country has no money.
