If you fancy getting involved with the Olympics when they come to town, then I totally recommend the London Ambassadors scheme. I registered for it myself at the weekend as I've always wanted to be a part of it somehow when it comes to town.

A little bit of volunteering goes a long way....

Yes I signed up too because it's a once in a lifetime opportunity and I'd love to be a volunteer. I see though that there's no guarantee that you'll be in the Olympic Village. I wouldn't want to take a week off work to find myself at London Bridge directing people to the Jubilee Line. That would be a bit of a busman's holiday. I would want to go to where the hot athletes were hanging out.
I hear what your saying giggirl, just got to weigh up the pros and cons of each I suppose. This one takes less time than the olympics scheme as its 5hrs x 6 days compared with 8hrs x 10 days. Its a once in a lifetime chance though so I just want to make sure I'm involved! It sounds pretty cool though, what with the free tracksuit, perks and stuff...... and well done Townleygreen, may see you there!

It's a sad but true fact Mr McDoto that my frock fund is regularly burgled by a local gang of unscrupulous card sharks. I?m so poor today I can barely stretch to a McDonalds, let alone a McQueen. Don't worry at all about me; I'll be fine with a packet of Ryvita until payday.

Numbers are looking good for the ambassadors programme, I know because as of last week I got a perm job on the team running it for next 2 years! Am dead chuffed as always wanted to be involved when the Olympics come to town.


Its less than 100 days to go before this once in a lifetime opportunity closes, so please check out the website:

There is a twitter feed that can be followed @Ldnambassadors


Been to lots of student freshers and volunteering fairs to promote the programme lately as the deadline for registering is December 31st. Only those who register will be invited to apply next year.


The locations are starting to firm up - currently at 35 across the city, including visitor hot spots, the live sites, transport hubs and outside of some venues.

Ahh, is it Shirley Not or Shirley Crabtree?


Anyway - was down at the Greater London Volunteering network day today which was really good. All concerned about the CSR announcements today but looking at how the volunteering org's can improve their lot.

No worries Mick Mac, apology accepted!


Now, how about you taking part in something unique in 2012 - fancy being an ambassador for this great city we live in? Can you see yourself on the Southbank, at Covent Garden, in Hyde Park, Greenwich, Liverpool Street for 5 hours for 6 days?


There will be a great training programme in 2012 and you'll meet some brilliant people and you get to take part in a once in a lifetime event. The Games they are a coming, and this is the best opportunity for a Londoner to get involved and promote the city to the world :))


If so, check out the website http://www.londonambassadors.org.uk/ and see if its for you.

Thank you :))

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
