random question, do the front wheels fit down the aisles of all buses? I only ask because i currently have a tractor-like three wheeler which occasionally gets stuck, and before investing in another pram thought I'd better check! The guy in the shop assures me they're not as wide as they seem, but as he won't let me take one on appro i can't really be sure...

Hmmmm, used to have one, and it was OK on the buses I went on, but I did find that it was easy to 'misjudge' the width of the front wheels when steering in general - got caught on the edge of supermarket aisles and things sometimes...but maybe I am just a bad driver (and it was one of the original versions), so not sure they are still as wide.


Not had this problem with other buggys but I think having wider wheels at the front than the back can catch you off guard.


A friend has a 'Petite Star' which seems good - like a Quinny Zap, but it reclines, folds up small, is light etc. etc.


Sorry if this causes more of a dilemma rather than a solution.

I have the fastfold and it's fine on buses, although not the P4 bus, you have to go in the door at the middle. It is slightly annoying how the front is quite wide, but other than that, it really is very easy to fold and unfold with one hand, and it's so light. Although the lightness of it does make it fall backwards if you have any shopping on the handles and take the baby out first.

      Building works at Dulwich Halal Grocery

      If you are that bothered, why don't you ask the people at the mosque what the situation is, and let us all know? 🤣 I live round the corner and I hadn't even noticed an awning, let alone one "half hanging off". If you think it's a safety hazard, that's a different issue, and one they may not be aware of, in which case you should definitely let them know.

      I guess, in a few weeks we will see if he is still a councillor or goes back to teaching 🤔

      What happened with the Heygate was absolutely scandalous. The lack of accountability is shocking.

      Because the previous Libdem/Tory coalition council did so much better? ....Oh wait. Selling off the Heygate at a bargain price and reducing the number of council homes it replaced? Being in opposition is so much easier isn't it James.  The point on allowances etc is a valid one, and that is about finding the right balance between the responsibility of those cabinet roles and the role of service that should underpin all political aspirations in an ideal world. Holding down a full time job, while having to attend meetings and then deal with case work on top, is a huge ask imo. People in key roles need to have the time needed to do those roles effectively, so some renumeration makes sense. It's just a question of where the balance should be. McAsh has walked away from that, so his convictions are doing more talking than careerism arguably.  Worth pointing out that most MPs started out as party/ political activists/ campaigners on a local level. Different parties have different processes for selecting candidates, but everyone starts out at a low level.
