you're too short to reach the ground? :hmm:

How will mural painting help me define Gibson's direct perception and its importance to psychological study?

They're not painting the ground. They're painting a wall :mad:

My knees aren't up to bending and my arm's not up to stretching :D

I reckon you'll be okay though if boohoo gives you a piggy-back
 
Have you been to the one in Belair Park? It has a mini skatepark and a pirate ship. Maybe not quite right for you guys, but our boys love it.


ah no... thanks for the tip.. we'll definitely try that. We've been doing lots of Dulwich park and Goose Green (Love Goose Green!) and obv for a quick one Hillside is perfect. But needing a new playground thrill - so will head over there. Big family festival in Dulwich tomorrow btw.. pram racing in Dulwich Village and steam fair and lots of other stuff in the park.
 
Family festival sounds good. What time are you heading over there? Not sure if A has any plans tomorrow, and I've just got in at 4am, but we could meet you there...although I do want to go to Brockwell boot fair too...

The Market House /Living Bar looked mightily empty when I passed it a few mins ago, but the Ritzy cafe is pretty packed.

I've given up going to Federation Coffee on the weekends now.

Cafe Max is the place I go to for my caffeine fix on a Sunday. Pretty good coffee, and half the price of the Feds. It's almost like being on holiday there too, as you're surrounded by people speaking Portuguese and drinking brandy at 11am! Good sandwiches too.

This person wasn't impressed with the sandwich scenario, but it seems they might have very expensive tastes and high expectations (she gave a 10/10 for a £20 sandwich).

Cafe Max's bacalau (spelling?) with potatoes and salad all for £4.80! Tastes bloody good and the portions are massive! You can't beat that kind of value! But if you want piss poor portions with a Brickers vibe (hipsters talking about their latest tweets, public school boys getting giddy over 'ethnic' products), indeed Cafe Max is not the place to go.

Re: coffee- San Marino can't be beaten for quality and price.

Please can we stop all this Cafe Max chat and move onto recommending the places in the Village. It'll be far better this way for everyone...(they're always busy enough not to need the custom). They so close to the Farmers Mkt and the Village and could easily be overrun
 
San Marino coffees (at least the milky ones) are rank and bitter in my experience, sorry to say. I'm also a bit less than enthusiastic about the way they've fenced off a serious chunk of the High St's pavement. Ed, do you not have an opinion on that? (Not provoking you for a fight - if San Marino have filled in all the right forms and got the right permissions I'll shut up right now.)

Best alternative to Feds is Opus on Acre Lane, imho - unless you are drinking espressos in which case it's Cafe Max.
