A circle along and around the Thames. The ride starts from the Cutty Sark in Greenwich (SE10 9LW) at 9.30am. Meet by the entrance to the foot tunnel but don't expect to go through it straight away. The ride goes east along the Thames to Woolwich and then crosses using the foot tunnel there. Back along the north side to Trinity Buoy Wharf. Coffee break and a visit to the lighthouse and then continues along the north side to Mudchute and the north side entrance to the Greenwich foot tunnel. Pop through there to be back at setting off point at 1pm.

Trinity Buoy Wharf is a lovely bit of old London which has somehow survived Hitler, post-war planners and the Docklands redevelopers. http://www.trinitybuoywharf.com It's now an arts hub of course. The lighthouse marks where the River Lee joins the Thames and the Euston Arch is supposed to be sunk in the mud here somewhere.

Getting to Greenwich might be a stymier. Best way on the train would be Peckham Rye to London Bridge and change for Dartford train via Greenwich. Otherwise train to Canada Water, find the river and follow it to Greenwich. Phone or text Bruce on 07729 279 945

- Price rises in Sainsbury’s

  And the Sainsbury’s own brand chocolate mini rolls have gone from £1.15 to £1.40 overnight, so 22%-ish. I prefer them them to the Cadbury original because they have a lot more chocolate on them, presumably because they’re made in a less advanced factory. I would think that getting the Rizla thin coating of chocolate that Cadbury’s accountants demand onto a piece of sponge is quite a sophisticated operation. Discuss.
- Electrician recommendation: Electrical Initiative Ltd

  Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere. happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is 07707 925039.
- Water leak - Dunstans Road

  Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
- Street trees: when is it time to call time ?

  That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
