Went in there today as it was my sons 3rd birthday and we got him a bike from toyr r us. My husband and I spend several hours trying to assemble to thing, useless instructions and the tyres were flat (despite my oh asking if we needed a pump).


Anyway, entered this gem of a place this morning with a whaling toddler "my biiig booy biiiiike is bloooooken" and the lovely guy in there sorted it for us there and then. All of it, whilst being super kind and patient with my toddler. Then he refused payment.


He said "how about your future businesss instead".

I thought to myself, I can do better than that and by posting a glowing recommendation he will hopefully get more than my business.


I will pop in with some cake when I am next off work, I just really appreciated it.

Here here! Best bike shop I've been to :) ! He's the only one I've found that is willing to cheerfully work on maintaining old "vintage" bikes. I've had many other South London local places turn their noses up at working on old bikes and have been told repeatedly at several other South London bike shops that I should buy a new bike instead and that they can't work on mine, etc. Paul's have been absolutely the opposite, so helpful and friendly and up for a fixer upper challenge. Wouldn't go anywhere else now!

    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
    • Looking for any tickets to the Dulwich Hamlets game against St Albans today!
    • I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
