Signing up to these private gyms is like signing up to a mobile phone, or a bank loan. For the most part, the gym companies get the membership financed by a bank or finance company. And if you fall behind on your gym membership, it's like falling behind on an unsecured loan. I think that the council sites are the only ones you can trust.

Will it be outside the station maybe (Is this what you're asking?) or perhaps some kind of new and interesting obstacle in the Tulse Hill gyratory drag strip?

Is that why they want proof from a doctor you can survive the exercise? I guess signing someone up for a contract and finding they pop off after a couple of months is hardly worth the administration?

Well just back from the Co op and was amused to see the Tulse Hill? Co op? Christmas tree outside, wedged between the bike stands and the advertising display. It has been surrounded by railings which are locked together. Sadly the railings encompass the bike stands to which two bicycles are still locked.

We don't need Christmas in Tulse Hill.....send it away...

We can't - it's locked to someone's bicycle.

Just saw the bike owner trying to retrieve.
Failed.

I'd be well pissed off if it was my bike. In fact, unless the council had put advance warning notices on the bike parking racks, I suspect it had no legal right to do that.

It's a lovely gesture/idea etc, but they could have put it somewhere better - you can barely see it where it is placed and it's such a shame. A little bit more thought would have been nice. Plus it's probably a few quid out of public money anyway.
I'd also be annoyed if I had to get my bike out of there - I have a well dodgy back and lifting my bike over the top of some railings in a very limited space would not be a good idea. I'd probably have to ask someone else to do that. I can imagine many situations (coming back in the dark after a shitty train journey) when that would be really annoying. It's not the end of the world but it's really all avoidable with a bit more planning.
On the other hand, it has provided me and others with a laugh and challenges the Leaning tower of West Norwood Christmas tree to most amusing Christmas tree in the area.

So I thought I would try a delivery from la casa degli amici. Eaten from there before and it was ok, and as my mother in law was down for the weekend I thought a delivery would be great, especially as I had just finished a 12 hour shift.
So they said 40 minutes.....I'm only 300 yards away. After an hour my wife chases the order only to be told the food has been ready for a while and they are waiting for the delivery man. I went and picked up two dry and unappetising things in a box.
I should have just gone to addomme.

Ah fuck it that's really crap. I like it - the number of proper pubs around keeps decreasing.

Oh what a shame about the Hart. I doubt they've been able to make it work then.
In other news, does anyone know why the area in between avenue park road and platform 4 of the train station is being used as a dumping ground? I thought they were to start building the flats on that land soon but there's no sign of it. Just heaps and heaps of what looks like old building materials...windows, doors, flooring...

Really sorry to hear that. I really enjoyed my evenings in there. And they made a special effort when I moved away and when i came back for my birthday. Do we know the reason why they are closing?

current Publican always knew time was up in Jan but was hoping to negotiate taking it over full time.
Brewery has already moved J to a new pub....it's just being 'managed' until the new year by his partner.
