Ha ha - I knew what you meant. ;-)


Is everywhere charging to get in? I fancy a cheap (ish) night out locally and refuse to pay to get in anywhere! Was thinking of staying local until about 11, then heading to the South bank for the fireworks, with a couple of bottles of fizz. Anyone else done this before?

Yep, did it two years ago, and have to say never again....trying to get on a bus back home was manic. Might have been alright if I'd have been as wasted as the other 90% of the bus but I wasn't. Close as I have ever come to going postal...

The expectation is having a skinfull....Funny but as I get older that means less to me.... Been there, done that, had the pavement pizza/hangover/woken up in a strangers house...

I also go to Dawsons Heights. People set off fireworks up there and the views are the best, better than poncy Primrose Hill. Maybe we should all go up Dawsons Heights this year. An impromptu EDF meeting.

However, I MAY go to the Bridges and see the fireworks. Being bikers we tend to park just south of the river on bike parks and have no probs with transport. :)

ALSO may be in Broadstairs. Sometimes bike down there and stay for the night. People set off fireworks on the beach and or jetty which is rather stunning to see around the Bay.

    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.
