I need to drive up to Liverpool tomorrow, collecting a friend in Muswell hill. I was going to go over London Bridge and through the city at about 7.30 am, but I'm not sure it will be possible.


Does anyone know which roads will be closed. I've tried looking on the marathon website, but can't really tell if that route will be affected.

LizzygotDizzy}}}}}} ran the marathon yesterday (time 4hrs and 58 mins) never again, no amount of training gets you ready for the actual slog, but the crowds are really nice and kept you going and handed out drinks and sweets all way round, although you were encouraged to take only from designated drinking stations as there are some sick gits out there! Raised over ?1,000 for the NSPCC, but very very sore today!

Thanks guys, think I'll actually start the training a bit earlier next time though! though no time soon! ah yes, now ibuprofen my new best friend! Thought I was a lot fitter than that, did a seriously funny wobbly leg dance as I crossed the finish line and my legs couldn't take any more, they had a mind all of their own and the buggers just refused to hold me up any longer.


Have to say I kind of got a bit carried away on the BNP thread earlier, (well my mouth got a bit carried away I should say) am a little heated at times and don't always think before I type! or shoot my mouth off! think I practically accused Kalamitykel of being a member of the BNP, will pm her an apology.

    • Yes, at first I assumed that the bin men had taken flowering plants from my front garden while getting at my brown food bin, instead of reaching over the wall. I was very confused as I couldn't see any obvious gaps. Surely taking Toadflax from a resident's wall is not part of the council's remit? What next, are they going to come round and trim hedges in front gardens? 🤬
    • Oh, so that was the council.  Someone ripped some lovely flowering Toadflax from our wall and threw it in the gutter.  I assumed that a child had done it.  How strange?
    • Black open bag found on pavement on Goodrich Road this morning filled with electrical type items. Please message me if yours with description of what should be inside. Thanks
    • Every year council workers come round and remove "weeds" from pavements. These "weeds" are wild flowers which as well as brightening up the urban environment attract pollinating insects including bees. Can someone explain to me what is the purpose of this removal? The plants do not seem to be causing any kind of obstruction to pedestrians, and they make my walks around the area more pleasant. Or had done. It seems a bit odd that on the one hand the council are deliberately planting areas of wild flowers (eg on Goose Green, albeit not apparently maintaining them very well) and/or apparently letting previously cultivated areas go wild (eg on Goose Green roundabout) but on the other hand they are paying employees to come round and remove wild flowers. Why? Am I missing something here? I came out the other day to find a small pile of flowering  Toadflax and Alkanet outside my house. I was totally bemused until a neighbour told me the reason.
