The new ice rink/leisure centre is in Streatham, more or less where it used to be (on the High Street, close to Streatham Common). There's an enormous new Tesco right next door, you can't miss it. I think you'll have to go and have a look, they don't seem to answer to email and I haven't been able to get hold of a phone number. I did go and see it last Saturday and it is very nice indeed. Huge ice rink, very beautiful!
Oh, the Redskins are back - and then some! On a bit of a surge at the moment with a few victories against some better-resourced teams, including their arch-nemeses, those bad boys from Invicta. Attendances seem to be well up, which is good news for everyone - more of an atmosphere and more income to balance the books. There seems to still be a healthy plexi-banging tradition kept up, so even though it's all new, old times aren't far away. Worth a visit one weekend.

Nope, no Gary Stefan but Joe Johnston's wearing the C - and Warren Rost, suited and booted, is the Coach. (if you're of an era to remember Gary, you may also be interested/sad to hear that Joe's grandfather, Alex, died last week) There is still a great sense of family about the team and now the Zamboni works, the ice is frozen and the spectators are warm it's deffo worth a visit. Invicta on Saturday, 5.30 face-off. Eat 'em raw.

    • Police are responsible for speed cameras, often these only go up after a serious incident or two. If speeding was decriminalised and went to local authorities to enforce then our roads would be safer as there would be far less speeding.   https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/enforcement-20mph-zones-local-roads
    • Never understood why there are not more speed cameras on Lordship Lane and the surrounding area - not sure what happened here exactly, but given the damage to the front of the vehicle as a result of the impact of the traffic light, it seems very unlikely that this person was driving slowly.
    • I am always really surprised by the glowing reviews of Franklins. Not sure whether it was once very good, and so it is just somewhere that is now remembered as that and thought of fondly by those who have known it since its opening all those years ago? As someone who has lived in the area for a few years now, and having tried it a few times (mostly as a result of the positive reviews), I have always been pretty disappointed. The food has always been average for the price point, and last time we visited we waited about 40 minutes to place an order. Hopefully whoever buys it can make improvements - it would be great to have a reliable pub on the lane that serves good food (similar to the Kerfield or Camberwell Arms, etc.)!
    • I will buy you a frothy coffee from anywhere you like on Lordship Lane if that happens. Most of these costs never get recovered from the drivers that caused them. The photo shows a car that's been left on the zigzags protecting the crossing. Pedestrians crossing East to West and drivers heading South won't see each other until the pedestrians are in the road. That is a dangerous position to leave a car in. (I don't know if it's stil there, obviously).
