Recommended Posts

We have just 1 ride for Feb 11th, starting from Canada Water. There will be lots of places on this ride. Nevertheless please register on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, link: < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/canada-water-to-north-greenwich-loop-tickets-534863620487 >.


If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling (How to cancel )


Ride Info. Canada Water to North Greenwich Loop


Start/finish at Canada Water, 10am meet up, finish 12.30 to 1pm. Can also join ride at Cutty Sark, next to Foot Tunnel; be there by 10.20. Bruce Leading. Outward leg using the Thames path, so lots of see through Deptford, Greenwich and round to the O2.


Return will use the new segregated lanes along the A206/A200. So not so scenic, but a good route to try. Coffee stop probably at Charlton shops on return leg.


This ride is nearly all off road or on segregated lanes. Also no hills. Makes it a good ride even for relatively inexperienced cyclists.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road. Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
