I haven't been but I've been caught up in the traffic it caused. An hours wait for a 176 on Charing Cross road (only had bus tickets that day - don't ask) and then 45 minutes to go around Trafalgar Square with a bus driver that wouldn't let one off.


Avoid the area unless you want to go to the Festival.

the guy organising this thing is a really nice bloke. But he was running late for the interview and the American guy had turned up early for his slot... but not everyone had picked up what was going on, and hey the America guy looked Russian (he really does) so they started to introduce him as the organiser of the Russian festival. His face was a picture


Cassius - bad luck. I've been there on more than one occassion. No use to you now, I know but that whole Oxford St to Waterloo section takes so long even on a good day, if I have any zip about me at all I'll walk the couple of hundred yards to Somerset house - it might save time or it might take a bit longer depending, but stress levels are decimated

      What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.

      Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Vik · Posted

      From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!

      if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
