Stand at ease Dulwichmum. I think the Emphasis is that the instructors are ex forces P.T instructors. They wouldn't have the insurance to allow you and the Ocado regiment to drag telegraph poles round the park or the time to locate your nails afterwards. Good luck all the same.xx

BBG! I almost laughed my head clean off my shoulders at your last post. Indeed, I would be part of The Ocado Regiment!


I have been checking out the "events" section on the BMF web site, and these are certainly not for everyone. I was imagining cocktail evenings and safari trips, red lipstick and seamed stockings, but the social activities seem to be based around sweat, mud and rain (gasp)! There is some mention of rural Wales as a potential destination (OHMYGOD) even the European ski-lodge looks more like Abu Ghraib. There is no mention of spa facilities and I dare say, no opportunity for a girl to use her straightening iron.


The group travel and events are clearly not for everyone, but I am drawn to the outdoor, rugged, athletic feel (Neil) and am preparing my wardrobe for my new hobbie accordingly. I am thinking Lara Croft meets Nigella Lawson!


NOTE TO SELF: Phone Jo Partridge to arrange a spray tan.

How very dare you Mr Wolf, I am no bitch. I am a lady (wags finger and points to the naughty step)!


Perfect Brum,


I am wondering if I should invest in another cashmere Joseph tracksuit - luxurious figure skimming natural fibres can be incredibly sexy, but I fear dry clean only may not be appropriate on this occasion (sigh)! I shall have to give this considerable thought. Do you really think that bouncing athletically through Dulwich Park, being shouted at and generally ordered about by a firm young man is for me?


The instructor really is incredibly handsome. If my memory serves me correctly, he makes Daniel Craig look like Baldrick!


Note to self: Buy a sports bra.

dulwichmum, if bouncing athletically through Dulwich Park, being shouted at and generally ordered about by a firm young man is not for you then I don't know who it is for. Well actually me perhaps.


and I can confirm that yes, it is possible to exercise in a pair of Spanx, having done same when enamoured of a certain gym body - those man-made fibres make you sweat off a few more pounds too

Joey are you implying that Dulwichmum has been round the block? You better not as the scraps she leave me on her grounds would make the bins at the Ritz blush.

No Bigbadwolf, I happened to see Martell1 pretending to be training for the marathon but I've since gathered that she was obviously there under false pretences and was actually spying on this trainer with a very pert bum! I shall be there next Saturday at 11.30 dressed in my very tight lycra all in one!

Answer: most definitely! Exciting thought, all that bouncing. In fact, as an ex-military man myself, I could give you a few orders of my own...


'This position, Ready!' (you copy my actions)


And I even remember the warm up exercise sequence... leg, chest, supple, bend, twist, arm.


How perfect is that?

Mr Mikecg and Mick Mac,


I shall inform the athletic male ex-army trainers at the park next Sunday, that you have equated them with a bunch of table dancers, then I shall assist them in hunting you down to beat you like a pair of dogs!


All that testosterone! I can't wait!!!

Note to DM. Wear said sports bra........ t*ts sagging in Joseph cashmere not good look


Note to Jo Partridge. Alter orange/brown ratio D.M coming for "Alpine spring" tan.


Instructor looks like young Sid James...Huu haa hhaa huupp tooo it....that's luvly....

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
