You could not be more wrong MM.


Almost every sport is represented, is actually the problem. Its adopting sports where the olympic medal means very little to that particular sport, tennis, golf and football being examples.

Oh GG. I get the same reaction from my daughter.


Don't I appeal to any age group? :( :)

I dislike these games for the disruption they are causing and for the false sense of "everything's alright" that comes with it! I am now working for the NHS in Tower Hamlets with people in mental health crisis and our client group is increasing by the day with direct connections to the games, crowds, number of police, travel problems expected etc.


Pretty poor post MM - a touch of arrogance and superiority crept in didn't it? It is fine to think the Olympics are a load of BS you know!


And as for sports, the only ones I care about are football and cricket. Cricket is not included and the footy that will be contested is not real and has not even attracted ticket sales - so that tells you how rubbish it will be!

8am?? I wish! try 6:30am..in Can Wharf just 10 mins away from Stratford..so yes my journey will be affected.

Which proves my point!


If you're at your desk at 6.30am how the hell are the Olympics going to affect your journey to work? You'll be passing through London Bridge at 6am. I doubt you'll even notice any difference let alone it being "absolute bloody nightmare."

    • Loki hasn’t been seen since Sunday. He’s all grey but if you look closely he has faint stripes on the top of his tail. No pedigree, just very much loved. About 4 years old. No collar, but chipped.  please keep an eye out for him. We live on Barry Road SE22
    • I went in here the other day. The fruit is all really good - ripe and fresh. They also sell good bread (and croissants and pastries) from a independent bakery, the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦 The prices (which are marked) are not cheap but they are fair imo. Comparable to the specialist fruit shop on Lordship Lane (Brothers?) for really good quality. It's similar prices to Simply Fresh - but Simply Fresh's fruit and veg is very poor. Beaten about and tasteless. Sainsbury's is certainly cheaper. IMVHO they're a good addition to the Dulwich Village "retail offer".
    • Went actually for the first time yesterday. Terrific food, so was well pleased. Agree with previous poster to support.
    • Hi!! Moving house soon so looking for some cardboard boxes. Anyone know of any shops or cafes that may be giving some away?
