The Shard officially opens today...


When it opens to the Public it will cost ?25.00 to see the view from the Viewing Gallery.

They estimate there will be 1,000,000 spectators a year.


You can get around paying this money by buying your own appartment...


Estimated cost ?50M.


The shard has approx 40 parking spaces.


Bargain..

I think the joke was wasted on you...


The fact that you can see for I don't know how many miles.. would not matter where you parked it.

Like Camberwell..???


Why do folk here take eveything so litterally ?


Having said that....


Having worked in that area for most of the last 20 years (pre 2008)

I can assure you many people do try and park there and regularly get clamped or removed..

TOP TIP instead of paying a meagre ?25 for one poxy viewing, you could always PAY EVEN MORE and book into the hotel which takes up floors 35-50 (I think) of the Shard and enjoy the view from dusk till dawn...


I cannot imagine what it would be like going up to the top floor (95?), makes me shiver just thinking about it.

Actually, come to think about it....

My thread isn't about The Shard per se


Though my particular post is. You can post whatever you "come to think about" on that thread


(do feel free to add your own a.c.t.t.a.i's)



Hope that clears things up

Bermondsey st notwithstanding, that north end of southwark has some well grim areas. So from that perspective that statement stands


From the rich and wealthy end of the things, I only have to mention anything about london bridge area (not the station) and I may as well be talking about mars to many of my colleagues

    • Unless you are watching it 24x7 then its hard to qualify that its not being used. Unless you are a business overlooking it of course. Personally I am reassured we still have phone boxes as they provide a valuable emergency use. If you are mugged for you phone, you can call 999 from them, if your house or business is on fire and you run out without a phone you can dial 999 from them. Some people don't have a mobile so its potentially reassuring for them knowing they can call someone if they feel unwell whilst out.  Just because some people don't see value in an object, doesn't mean others don't.
    • Hardly a non-story @malumbu still one of the lead stories on the BBC.....you clearly don't understand when to serve humble pie! 😉  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgk40l8jm7o   Absolutely. It's a disaster. And for this government, who were happy to tell us they had 14 years to prepare to lead, it has been one self-inflicted disaster after another since they took over. To be honest the signs were there when they were in opposition but I think we all gave them the benefit of the doubt as they weren't the Tories and now they have the reigns the additional scrutiny that brings is tripping them up.    
    • I don't think I've ever seen it used other than for gluing advertising on it. It's definitely not a priority but these things typically get ignored and become part of the furniture (so to speak).  There is a beautiful old red box near Upland Rd. I miss old red boxes... 😞 Anyway I'll have a dig around and see if anything can be done. 
    • £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.
