There isn't much difference. Both are a bit scummy, but not the end of the world.

In Italy/France/Spain adults drink around kids, and the children learn to be responsible with alcohol. I therefore propose that beer in the playground is compulsory for all Dads. (Mums can choose aperol spritz if modelling themselves after the Italians).
Worth mentioning if anyone needs a playground alternative... Gambado sells not only (fairly) decent coffee, but also (only somewhat overpriced) beer.... and they're air conditioned. I always try to get an armchair, and once I almost finished reading an entire newspaper! xx

Pants, I was really hoping to have a pint in the playground - do I need ot have aperol spritz instead?

I think you'll find that Prosecco is the chosen choice of the good ladies of East Dulwich Jezza, though who's to say that this Aperol Spritz may take on over here now that you've mentioned it.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
