Hmmm, not sure really. (I do sometimes kick myself a little)


Perhaps, I was holding out for one of these:

andy&kez I also had a beetle, it was the noisiest most uncomfortable and dangerous car I ever had.


On motorways with the slightest crosswind it would jump into the next lane, and if you ever braked hard going down a


steepish hill you would spin 180 degrees. It did have good traction in snowy winters, but the rest of it you could keep.


I preferred the British beetle the Morris Minor, which was my first car and the only car I had with a split windscreen.

Love the old Beetle. My Uncle does them up for a living and I remember that every time we went to visit him, there'd be a different colour beetle on the drive way. Loved going down to the garage to see what he was working on. Everything came in as a wreck and went out looking pristine.

I'll continue the conversation on my own then...


CC:"Stylish and Classy, you say?"


Me: "Absolutely!"


CC: "Why Thank You, Young Man!"


Me: "Don't mention it"


CC: "In that case, I won't(!)"...


At this point TLS slinks away, head bowed, having tried(and clearly failed miserably) to offer a Young Lady a compliment.:(

Just putting their matching Red Jackets on to take them for a long walk as I'm off with friends for a Country Hike today, afterwards.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      By Sue Klein · Posted

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
