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....

    • Work such as dry rot treatment will have a guarantee.  Major works as such are more general and I've not seen guarantees on any I've had done. You need to find the source of the damp and the cause of it and be able to demonstrate that it's down to the works that have been done.
    • Thanks for all of the thoughts. I have a letter from searches which outlines the scope of work but doesn't mention any work guarantee as far as I can see. I agree that next step is to check directly with the major works team. Tim .
    • I thoroughly recommend Jay from JK Electrical Contractors who is an NICEIC registered. NICEIC is the UK's leading certification body for the electrical contracting industry and conducts regular audits and assessments on all its members. It is the specialist trade body which certifies professional electricians.  Jay completed the installation of a 19 way consumer unit for us and works to the highest standards and our entire electrical installation is now fully compliant with 18th Edition of the electrical wiring regulations. Before installing the new CU he traced and corrected faults that had developed over the last 25 years -some of which were my DIY bodges that were non-compliant.  We now have an installation that is 100% safe and  reliable . His contact details are :- 0208 150 6450 [email protected] Here is what he installed for us.
    • I fully support this petition, however it will need to be shared far & wide to be effective. Also there is always a huge amount of interest / objection during the festival, but not so much when they start consulting for the next one, usually around January. It's crucial that everyone that has been impacted makes their voice heard then.  A couple of points which may be good to include in the wording (if it is still possible to amend?) - The total tickets sold are way more than 3000. The licence allows a capacity of up to 9,999, but this may include staff & performers etc. The published attendance for 2024 was:  Friday – 8,999 / Saturday – 9,512 / Sunday – 9,422 So that's c.28,000 people trampling & littering our park over three days - people who have no need or desire to take any care or consideration of our park.  - Gala claim for 2024 that "62% of all ticket holders were from Southeast London and 18% of these were from hyper-local postcode areas SE15 and SE22." So a bit of maths shows that means that around 89% of attendees were not what most people would term 'local'... - Gala have ambitions / plans to extend the number of event days to 6, over two weekends. They applied for a licence for this in 2024, but then withdrew it. Instead they added a "free" event, billed as a community day, to the existing 3 day festival, thereby increasing the event days to 4.  This would appear to be an attempt to set a precedent for increasing the number of event days, and it's inevitable that they will attempt to secure the 6 days they desire for 2026, to increase their profits further. Two weekends in a row of noise, disturbance & disruption would be unacceptable, plus an extra c.18,000 trampling & littering the park... - The site size has been increased. The claim is that it is to compensate for lost storage space due to recent flood alleviation works, but the area has increased by more than the area lost, and appears to have been used for attendee activity rather than site storage. Gala have often stated that the festival can only be located in the park because the footprint has been designed specifically for that area, and yet this year the footprint had been amended & extended without any apparent issues. Surely this proves that it could be relocated?  Apologies, I just can't help going into rant mode on this issue, but hopefully some of the above may be helpful in increasing the argument presented by the petition?
