Right,


I know that I often hark on about how superior Forest hill is compared to east Dulwich (it is), but today I've discovered something that surprisingly I haven't seen discussed on here that beats Forest hill hands down.


London Recumbents bike hire


I've often wondered how much fun the three wheeled contraptions are that you see all the kids in Dulwich park whizzing about on. Well, today I've been with a friend of mine who's got two young sons and we went to Dulwich park to see about hiring these bundles of fun for the boys.


On hiring them at a reasonable ?12 (?7 for kids) for an hour I discovered that you can get adult versions as well. Let me tell you that I've just had an hour of great fun messing about on one of these toys. The team that run the hire shed were incredibly polite and personable, and went out of their way for us.


So, forget Lordship lane and your Sunday pint. Get yourself down to Dulwich park and support this fab outfit and get some exercise aswell as a bit of air under your tail!

SE22 reaches as far as the N side of Court Lane, in places. But the park is Dulwich.


London Recumbents is great. A friend of mine comes from Oxfordshire to get his vehicles.

Another pleasant aspect of Dulwich park compared to those found in other surrounding area's is that it seems, mostly, to be visited by nice people doing nice things walking nice dogs compared to the troublemaking chavs you find in Forest hill who's dogs would look more at home patrolling the Berlin wall.

I couldn't agree more Keef. The other not so publicized benefit is that the people I buy Cannabis from live on Wells Park rd which makes the park an ideal and pleasant spot to get pranged on high grade whilst I debate over whether I should either empty the shelves of Costcutter or wait until I get home to the far cheaper alternative of a bacon sandwich.


Simple pleasures.

Speaking of Peckham Rye Common, I was somewhat taken aback to see it had been invaded by what looked like various McDonalds bouncy castles today, but which apparently was a big football coaching arena...coaching moms to become coaches as well as the obese, burger-stuffed brats to hoof the bladder around....Such incontrovertible evidence of the selfless charitable instincts of the hardened multinational almost brought a tear to my eye....B)
It's funny you should mention that Simon because I walked past a MacDonalds in Central London during the week and I saw a woman leaving the establishment (if you can call it that) who'd let herself go to such an extent that the only way of describing her is to liken the greedy halfwit to a melting snowman.

Fair enough Lou, you've highlighted my shortcomings along with all the other emiritus's of English literature.


However,


Your eventual downfall mirrored that of the other pinhead scoffing from afar. You ignored the basic etiquette of a full stop.


Pinhead.

I'm really not very good at this am I.

Get ready to feel even more of a pinhead.


From the Compact Oxford English Dictionary (I can't find it online, but I have my copy open in front of me):


"Contrary to what many people think, it is not wrong to start a sentence with a conjunction such as and or but. The practice is common in literature and can be effective."

The Compact Oxford English Dictionary. Appendix 1 Effective English. Chapter 3. Page 11.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
