Just back from Peckham Rye Park

It's not closed due to H&S but apparently the

locks on all the gates had frozen...


Thanks, that did make me giggle ;-)

Don't worry about me Honk, I'm not easily offended ;-)

When I asked them yesterday morning(after I had climbed thru the fence) they said the weather had frozen the locks. As it was sunny and all the snow was melting I asked whether the thaw had unfrozen the locks. I just got a strange look as if this was a very odd question...
I was told yesterday morning by a council worker in the park that he had been told not to open the park as it was too dangerous!! I then phoned the council to complain (I was however in the park at this point having squeezed through the railings) Still points needed to be made. Again I was told on the phone that it was a health and safety issue. All the parks in Camden were closed on Monday for this reason. Tretcherous those parks are....

Hazzardous parks they are don't cha know......
You should think yourself lucky. When I was doing my A-levels I was getting blissfully stoned in Hornimans park with my mates and the park keeper reminded us that it was closing at 8p.m but we forgot and he sees us from a distance and tells us to fuck off after which he set his Rottweiler on us. We left.

I hope you do actual important things with your time, like vote.


Actually, please don't vote. Ever.

I was trying to remember where I'd seen similar indignant tutting before. Then I remembered:

Apparently yesterday there was 'a mob' of outraged dads outside the Horniman Park DEMANDING to be let in. The same dads who would be hiring the very best lawyers to sue the museum out of existence lest their rat-faced offspring be injured whilst on the premises.

I can't believe that the police advised that Dulwich Park should be closed because of a snowball fight, the Borough Commander should be asked to apologise and reprimand the officer(s) responsible.


As for closing the parks because of H&S concerns, if we got up a petition to Southwark's CEO asking her to start treating us like grown-ups do you think she would pay attention?

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
