There has been no soap in any of the three dispensers in the poolside toilets for a week or more.


Many swimmers do not shower before entering the pool, and remain unchallenged by the staff.


Why don't they put up more strident signs to encourage patrons to shower before entry?


40% of the car park has been classified for disabled, less than 2% of the membership is disabled, I wonder what fusion genius thought that one out?

Have you considered whether the extra space might anticipate a cause and effect relationship here?

SteveT at the Peckham Pulse


Steve: "Oh for gods sake, someones used up all the soap!"


Attendant: "I do apologise sir but we're having trouble with a group of ethnics who come and use the facilities wash their clothes."


Steve: "Is that some sort of joke because if it is, I'm not amused!"


Attendant: "I'm afraid not sir, you see, round the corner a traveller camp has sprung up and the place is now over run by Kosovan gypsies. They have a barbaric temprement sir and we'd rather just leave them to it."


Steve: "Good god!! I've been a taxpayer for many years now and when I want to wash my balls in a public baths I refuse to be denied decent, god fearing sanitation by a hoard of bloody tinkers!!"


Attendant: "Have some compassion sir, some of them are wheelchair bound."


Steve: "Rubbish!! It's probably some shabby ploy to wring even more benefits from the system. I wont be fooled!"


Attendant: "Here are some now, and they've brought some clothes to wash."


Steve: "Right, stand aside, I'll show you how to deal with these people!"


Attendant: "Are you sure thats wise?"


Steve: "Look here you lot. I've been swimming in these pools for quite some time now and I've never seen any sign indicating that it's O.K to wash clothes in the showers. Kindly take your laundry to the drycleaners like everyone else!"


Gypsy: "Vee apologise mizsta, bat itz de only vay vee can avvord to vosh our clothes. You see, vee cam from a vor torn nation with nothing to eat and landmines everywhere. Vee cam to dis cantry because vee here goot thingz about the people and how generous they are."


Steve: "What rot!! You're here to scrounge and whats more you're even nicking the soap. Stay out of my way in future and don't try and read my palm or flog me any clothes pegs. Good day!!"


Attendant: "Sir, I'd put some clothes on before you leave the pool."


Steve: "Oh, yes, quite right."

...he might already be doing that...or he might have a disability of some sort...or he might just be a lazy git (but I doubt it if he bothers to go swimming)

In defence of SteveT, I used the car park recently to use the Library (I am lazy!). I too was surprised by the proportion of disabled spaces.


I'm absolutely pro disabled spaces and have been know to get in a row with selfish tits who abuse them, but there does seem to be rather a lot in this site.


Though, I do wonder how SteveT knows the actual percentage of disabled users in this spot.

Yes, that thought occurred to me too (and it may WELL be the case), but then I considered the fact that I OFTEN complain about things that actually don't affect me personally, but which I believe to be policies that are ill-thought out and hence not for the common good...

There is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to apologise (well not to me, anyway :)))...we are all entitled to our opinions/thoughts etc...and it's great that we are able to express them here (NOTWITHSTANDING that Admin. see fit to remove my postings from time to time ;-))...conducive to good mental health, broadens the mind and all that...

I agree that the proportion does seem high (SteveT: why don't you ask THEM for an explanation?)

Me too!

He's probably a mathematical genius:))!

    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
