I had an horrifically scary experience with my Phil & Ted's buggy on Friday that I wanted to share in case it prevents a terrible accident. I had been getting on and off the trains all day, then suddenly when I went to get off the train in Purley the front wheel fell off the buggy and under the train. The whole buggy lurched forward and down - luckily my baby was strapped in and I had the loop around my wrist so I was able to keep a hold of the buggy and stop it and my baby from following the wheel down and through the gap in the platform and under the train!! It was so scary. I wanted to let people know to be careful if you have a phil & ted buggy where the front wheel detaches. I don't know why the wheel came off suddenly. I had got on to the train and it was fine and on and off a few trains throughout the day. Perhaps the lever got caught on the edge of the train on the way out?? There was no way to get the wheel until the train pulled out, then they stopped the trains on the track in order to get the wheel off the track - I dread to think what would have happened if I didn't have the strap around my wrist.


Please be careful - I have contacted phil & ted to let them know.

Bloody hell, that must have been scary! I never felt very safe with our old P&T as they're a bugger for rolling away, and mine very nearly rolled in to a road once.


My fault for not having the wrist strap on, but that could have been a very very high price for a little oversight.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Until the licencing laws changed in the late eighties, pubs were only allowed to open Sunday hours on Christmas Day, so 12 'til 2, and the majority didn't open in the evening unless it was for a 'private party'. But that's another story. The landlord of my old local used to let everyone double or treble up at last orders so that you could avoid having to watch the Queen's Speech with your Nans at three o'clock. Dulwich Tandoori is open Christmas Day for those who don't fancy Gail's.  'Festive Flavours', apparently.

      Local gig of the year?

      By malumbu · Posted

      My nominations are the Goblin Band at the Goose, and the Errol Linton Trio  at the Dulwich Folk Club.  I'm not sure what other venues we have in the immediate area.  I rarely do the big (1000 plus) places any more.  Your nominations? And a special mention to Truthpaste, at least one member is local and their video was recorded around here.  But I caught them in North London.  And please see the link to the BBCs recording of the Copper Family at the Castle a few weeks ago~: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002ng53
