I have been asked to add this event to the forum as it is such an amazing place. Definitely - South London's Hidden Gem.

View the website www.crossness.org.uk. The next steaming day is the 22nd May. Come along, you will have a fantastic time.

At the last steaming day in April a number of people came who use the forum and they were so impressed they asked if I can spread the word. It is the most extravagant of all the grand pumping stations which is not well known.

If you need to use public transport, there is a minibus to and from Plumstead Railway station from 10am and then approximately every half hour as there are some engineering works further down the line.

See you there

We went to this a couple of years ago. I wasn't too sure but we really enjoyed it and came away well informed, one beam engine was operating, we took many pics in an unprepossessing building,inside, a Victorian wonder dressed in red and green.

Then we had a picnic in Lessness Abbey ruins and walked through the woods. Flat shoes recommended

You seem not to understand the meaning of "national debt".  Might you have been copying someone else's usage? I'm sorry to hear of Starmer's decimation.

    • in response to   On 19/11/2024 at 08:36, Moovart said: I know nothing about farming so can't really comment but when I read things like this interesting thread from Guy Shrubsole I am increasingly cynical about those making the loudest noise.  And yes it is a genuine link.   I've just had a look at the page source.  It contains a link to a Twitter page that's been automatically embedded in Moovart's post but seems not now operative. So I've dug out the url to have another try, this time without embedding:  https://x.com/guyshrubsole/status/1858490339356533018 .  Seems ok.   in reply to my own "Where did you get this from?" response to your post at https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/353788-is-rachel-reeves-becoming-the-new-liz-truss/?do=findComment&comment=1688310, in which you again spoke of the government's "doubling the national debt".

The above merging of my posts in response to Sue and to Jazzer have been done by the forum system, so there's no point in my trying again to separate them.  I've already tried editing out the merging and reposting the one to jazzer, but ended up with the same forced merge.  Apologies. Latest edit.  The moral seems to be: don't try making two consecutive posts or they'll be liable to merging.  I've now been able to post a freestanding reply to jazzer's post now that there's an intervening post.
