Alright people, it's Leon from the SLP.


Remember we played you guys last year? Well this year we'd like to play you again, if you're up for it.


I think we all had a good time and maybe this year we could include more drinking on the pitch and pub time in the event.


Our team has started having net sessions and we'd like to invite you along if you fancy some knocky-knocky. It sounds serious but it's not, I promise.


We play on Sundays outdoors from about 11.30am at the nets on Clapham Common, near Clapham South Tube Station, and from next Thursday at the Latchmere Leisure Centre in Battersea at 9.30pm. That's a bit late and I know both venues are out of your manor but we found last year the time worked well because most people aren't up to much else then.


Also, we're trying to be really organised this year and get stuff sorted early. We've booked some pitches on Wandsworth Common for matches - at great expense - so we could have an "away" match for you as well as a Belair Park game.


But there's no doubt we'll be short of players so if any of you lot want to play in any of our other games you're more than welcome. The first match we're playing is on April 26.


As I said, it all sounds serious but I promise it's not - we've got a very wide range of abilities, i.e. many of us are crap, but we're all united by a mutual love of cricket. And smack.

Ok,


The King's Road Cricket and Social Club council of elders has met (online). We have decided to suggest you play us in a match at our place - Wandsworth Common - on May 18.


The pitch there is better than at Belair and it has a nice pub nearby.


We've already got it booked (we just booked a few dates a couple of weeks ago) but if you don't want to play then we can find other opposition and play on another date - we have June 15, July 5 and 26 booked as well.


Then we could play you at Belair at some point in the summer in a return match, which you'll get booked.


The only proviso is that you do your best to get 11 on the pitch. Neither team can guarantee getting 11 - I'm sure we'll find it difficult - but it's a bit rubbish if both teams turn up with seven or eight.


So we want you to be confident you'll get a team, even if you don't manage it on the day (if you see what I mean).


Also, if you were looking for other teams to play at a similar level we played a team last year called the Battersea Badgers who I'm sure would be up for playing you and there are others we can put you in contact with.


So how's about it? Do we have a fixture?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
