It isn’t unearned money, because it isn’t money at all. It’s a theoretical value. Do you think the government will take an iou for when a house is sold and (and if) the money becomes real?

Dulwich Leisure Centre - cold showers today - update
bonaome replied to ctovey's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I’m not sure the problems were caused by Everyone Active. They run perfectly good centres elsewhere, including the Queen Mum which until recently was my main pool. As far as I can remember the problems with the Dulwich pool started months after it was handed over to Southwark. But I might be wrong on that. I think there was a period when EA weren’t investing in it, pre hand back to Southwark, which is not surprising, but it was maintained to legal standards, I’m sure. I tried to swim at Dulwich a couple of weeks back. The water is far too hot. I would say it’s bordering on dangerous. I’m sure it’s within the tolerances etc but it is significantly warmer than JAGS (warm but still ok for session swims) which itself is way warmer than any of the other pools I swim at (Queen Mum, St Pancras, Oasis). I do wonder if all the problems they had with filters are related to the temp of the water. Peckham Pulse and Camberwell aren’t hot so I think it’s a manager decision to run Dulwich so hot. Appreciate that the pool temp has nothing to do with the showers. -

Which part of the concept appeals the most? Paraphrasing Private Eye … Is it the weight and the dangerous way people ride them, the way they get left fallen over in the middle of the street, or thrown in the Thames as I saw today, or is it that they have giant batteries and rely on electricity? -
Underhill Rd is closed to traffic. There’s a massive water leak.

They’re just about to reopen the pool at Dulwich Leisure Centre. Try there.

Sorry. They have become a bit grating. It was just a rarebit of fun.

Relaunching as Ollie's House https://ollies-house.co.uk ? Seems that's what they've done with other Megans. Like an asian-ish version of Megans. Menus look insipid, twee, cookie cutter, corporate. Meh. Same same, but different. -
Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.

Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.

Probably a daft question but does Chacarero not sell chacareros?

Recommendation for speed alert app for android ?

Genuinely without wishing to be unkind, but if you can’t use the speedometer, should you really be driving? You wouldn’t pass the driving test. If it’s a vision thing, Taylor West are very, very good (although also very expensive). -
The swimming lessons at JAGS Sportsclub are very popular, and the gym there might meet your needs. Southwark took over running its leisure centres from everyone active a while back and so far seems to be making a real mess of things. There’s lots of private gyms and other council ones in Lewisham and Lambeth so depending on exactly where you’re going to be you can look at those. JAGS and Dulwich College both have sports clubs with nice facilities, but you can’t use them during the school day. Check their sites for details.
