Gowlett sounds good, i'll check it out, thanks!!

hahahahaha - Who'd have thought that Daffodils would inspire such a fierce debate. Bloody Brilliant!! hahaha.

Thanks a lot to both of you!! Much appreciated, especially the story of Ruffers's mate who nearly ploughed through a row of tents, hahahahaha. Thanks for the tip on datatagging too and insurance benefits, i think i've spent almost as much on Insurance, personal safety gear, ie helmets etc, chain, cover etc etc as i did buying the bike. That said, what a difference it makes to public transport. London is literally a completely different place without having to rely on public transport. I bloody love it!! Once again, thanks for the tips.

LOL - Fair play Louisa - definately have to admire your spirit!! Here's hoping for a bumper crop of unmolested plants this year :))

Cheers Ruffers, much appreciated, How do the ground anchors work?? do you need tools to "plant them" etc? Trouble with the wheel size on the ET4 is that you have to get a small chain really otherwise it won't fit through the wheels. The chain i do have is too short for the lamp posts etc, so i'll get a longer one so that i can tie it to a lamp post etc. Are disc locks worth the money or a waste of cash. The bloke at the shop told me that most people forget and destroy their brakes by driving off with them still attached. Assuming i don't do that, any good?

Cheers mate!! found a few great spots already as i said, but looking forward to the Summer and to some decent Outdoor World Cup venues where you can grab a beer and a decent bite to eat in the sun with a group of mates without having to queu for days to get to the bar etc. (Asking a bit too much??? Probably...hahaha)

Sickening!! If you know your dog is aggressive to other dogs or people, why on earth would you EVER! allow it to run free in a public place without a muzzle or a long lead and due care and attention to those around you. To me it's completely beyond comprehension, few things are as traumatic as watching/being involved in a dog fight in any way, both for the dog and the owner. This guy should be prosecuted, no question, whether it be the 2nd, or the 100th time?!! Probably one of the B"?$!rds who uses the pet as a weapon instead of a family pet. Really sorry to hear about your dog, i hope he recovers fully!! B.

Thanks BossBoss!! Much appreciated. I'm sure i'll find all the best spots within a few weeks. Does anything interesting happen on Goose Green over the Summer?

I've just bought a Vespa ET4 model so the gaps between the wheels are pretty small. Anyone got any tips on what the best Security devices are, ie personal experience rather than the ratings you get on the websites. I've got an immobeliser, it's an older model, so has the built in handlebar lock, and have bought a chain and lock which i put through the back wheel overnight. I guess if someone really wants it they'll take it, but any tips would be much appreciated. B.

Good Point well made Casius, in honesty i think if Louisa hadn't been quite as abbrasive and hostile in her comments, most of the people saying it's not a huge deal would have agreed with her. Nothing wrong with standing up for what you believe in, but doing it in an agressive way never really achieves the desired response. That said, the way some people disrespect their local comunity and everything that goes into making East Dulwich a special and enjoyable place to live, is EXTREMELY frustrating and annoying!!! B.

Hi everyone, i'm moving to East Dulwich in a months time and was hoping for a few tips on what's hot in East Dulwich. Best Restaurant/s, best bar/s weekly markets or interesting activities etc. Really excited about the move, i've obviously made a few visits already and have discovered Lordship lane and its many lovely restaurants, coffee shops etc. So far i've visited the East Dulwich Tavern - great pub - Black cherry - great cocktails and Locale Restaurant - Amazing Italian food and Wine, and on the green which i'm looking forward to in Summer. Any other delights to look forward to (or avoid?) Thanks in advance!!!! B.
