In the good old days beyong the normal festive stuff (booze, reheated Turkey, family and telly) there was only one thing that you did on Boxing day - go to a local sporting event (normally football).


Now what does half the nation do - they go to Westfield.


So with no trains and limited tube West London is grid locked. Buses are no alternative as they are stuck in the traffic, worsened as those heading to and from Westfields are blocking junctions. [whinging about the tube strike is on another thread]


So before I write to Boris (no trains on Boxing Day)

DfT (ditto)

LB Hammersmith and Fulham (for allowing the nonsense that is Westfield on a Boxing day)

And the PM - for zero joined up thinking; it would be good to hear from others.


Was Westfield Stratford as bad? Bayswater? Croydon/Bromley/Lewisham??


To look on the bright side Arry will hopefully be stuck in the traffic on his way back to Sandbanks.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      My point was in response to this:  "The idea that serving as a local councillor (including dealing with the public, internal party politics - which is always the most vicious where the stakes are lowest, and plenty of unpaid prep work) is a great pathway for careerists and moneygrabbers is utter shite. On a per hour basis you'd be far better off working at Sainsbos."   You could give up your job at sainsbury's and do a councillor's work and be very much better off. Most of these councillors earn this sort of money and still have full time jobs on the side.

      No. The pool changing rooms are unaffected.   The gym changing rooms (aka dry side) are being refurbished.

      Thanks for the link Dave. For clarity, the document shows that he receives the standard basic allowance all councillors get and a Senior Responsibility Allowance commensurate with the post he held. He claims no other allowance or any expenses as far as I can see... which makes me wonder what your point might be?

      At Forrest Hill is there a wall at both ends? Looks like one end is steps on the website.
