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....

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
