Hey Marmora


louisiana has got it bang on - you are not behaving unreasonably; but your quite natural assumption that you were in a public space and are therefore free to do as you legally please is mistaken. my gaff, my rules, says "more london". the transfer of substantial public spaces to private hands is no less serious than the enclosures act was in 16 century.

I've just had a personal call from the manager of More London - apologising for the behaviour of his security staff.


There are no rules about sitting on the riverside wall, staff are told to advise people about safety if they are acting unreasonably (drunk on the wall, walking along it, fighting on it, playing on it) which seems fairly sensible.


Sitting on the wall in the sunshine with legs "landside" is perfectly OK.


Of course this message needs to get thru' to junior security staff in polyester outfits but it was nice to receive a personal apology.



Sorry we now have no reason for a sit on demo! We'll have to find another cause.

Hoorah, justice is done.

The badly uniformed one presumably has been put on a fizzer and MM, vindicated rides off into the sunset (wearing safety headgear, knee and elbow pads) mdestly shrugging off thanks and departing with a tight-lipped "There's things a man can't ride round"

Leaving us all to wonder "Who was that Marmora Man?"

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that.
