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."

      Niko the Plumber.

      By Natasha77 · Posted

      Niko was recommended to me through a group chat for my road, where everybody raves about him. I soon realised why as he did an amazing job installing an outdoor tap for me. I needed it done quickly but had a hectic schedule, and Niko did everything possible to accommodate this, bringing the parts and working late on a Friday, having worked out the best solution for my maze of pipes. The tap looks great and works amazingly with good pressure. He made minimal mess and cleaned everything up, and charged me a very competitive price. On top of that he is delightful to chat to and willing to give advice on other matters. He’s a lovely man and will be my go-to for any issues in the future! Recommend to anybody in the Dulwich/ Peckham/Camberwell area!!

      We've used Aria a couple of times - this time a tap that was causing water hammer elsewhere in the house, he replaced it and checked all was well. He was prompt, quick in his work, and charged what he said he would. Will use him again.

      Hi I found a phone on the pavement near the bus stop half way up lordship lane opposite M&S and have handed into one of the estate agents there (KFH). Please call in there if you have lost it.
