Needed to go up to a meeting at the RCA and lo! the trains from Peckham Rye are still all b****red up! quoting nearly an hour to get from Peckham Rye station to London Bridge on the Nat Rail journey planner.


so my meeting has been canceled! think I have been a bit out of the loop as I have been working form home for the last 2 days, but isn't this getting a bit silly???


My colleague was trying to get in from Herts for the meeting and says he has given up the will to live....

It gets mentioned more that once Quids, I remember reading that when Wodehouse was setting something in the suburbs he always based it on ED.

now HonaloochieB... that is the sign of a true gent, you did not jump on my mis-spelling of Wodehouse

(versus woodhouse)

I'm fairly bright but spelling's not my forte... often don't bother with glasses and dyslexia rules...

you just went smoothly on with the idea behind the post... and I thank you!

The first was me being polite BN5, the second was me being all cack-eyed.

    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area 
    • Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years Good to see these two jailed today for four years. There’s something deeply disturbing about people who destroy trees—any tree. Whether it’s a centuries-old landmark or a sapling in a quiet park, trees are living beings that offer beauty, shade, and life. The men who cut down the Sycamore Gap tree are a stark example of how far some people will go to lash out at something peaceful and meaningful. People who harm nature like this aren’t just destructive—they are often deeply unhappy. It takes a troubled mind to look at a tree and see something to ruin instead of something to protect.

    • What a brilliant idea. I hope it went OK, Sue. 
    • Yes, the appointments were scheduled for every ten minutes. And there is no waiting area at all this time  (sometimes for medical checks there they have a very small area inside with 3 or 4 seats). If you have come by public transport, you have to sit on the steps up to the van if you are early,  which isn't pleasant in very hot sun or pouring rain, or else wander round Asda (there's no cafe in Asda, despite it supposedly being a superstore). It's one in, one out. I don't know what happens if you are late, but I doubt they would hold up everybody who came after you in order to fit you in.  There was someone immediately before me and someone immediately after me. That's what I did in the end , so thank you for that.  I gritted my teeth and got some exercise. It wasn't as bad as I expected 😀 I did get a 37 from Nigel Road back to Goose Green on the return journey, though!
