Help! I want to go out tomorrow (with kiddies) to support friends who are running.


Surrey Quays is looking like the easiest option travel-wise, but I remember it being really busy.


Anyone have any advice re. what time I'd need to get there to get a good viewing spot?? (I know the elite runners are expected at 9.47am, the 5-hour crowd will be passing around 11.30.)


Alternatively, mile 8 around Deptford I remember being quiet, but looks a bit tricky to get to. Probably easiest to take train to New Cross Gate and then walk, which is around a mile ... could be too far if kids are whiney. Any other ideas re how to get there? I could drive but expect the whole place to be choc-a-bloc so public transport probably better.


Any advice from experienced spectators gratefully received!

    • For Plusnet, I pay £31.99 for Full Fibre 500.  (the number is the line speed you have paid for) I have recently recontracted.  Always phone them up, and ask what deal they can do for me.  Usually get a decent reduction.  Sue, I would suggest you call them, especially if you are close to contract renewal.  Sometimes they will change deals mid-contract, as I have found in the past.      
    • The drivers generally have the same set area to cover every day, so they're fairly easy to follow - quite often on bike. They organise their drops to maximise how many they can do within a given time - there's actually software at the depot to do this before they set off - so they tend to follow the same route. Certain addresses are delivery hotspots, some have two or three drops a day from the various couriers. It all adds up doorstep deliveries being incredibly easy to target. I suspect Vladi's neighbour hasn't had their fake parcel nicked, not because of their security, but because the thief simply wouldn't have seen the driver stop there, so there's nothing to steal. The losses are factored in, driving prices up for everyone, and the drivers are treated abysmally. It's a dreadful business. It needs regulating.   Sorry, cross post with Angelina and Alec1
    • Amazon seem to do this more and more now.  They don't even ring the doorbell, just leave them lying on the door step, then you find out it's been delivered when you check tracking.  The official Amazon vans are frequently followed on their routes by thieves and take the opportunities freely given.
