On the upside thousands and thousands of people have made great memories of amazing days in London?s beautiful parks listening to music that they love with friends and family


I reckon that?s a good thing (and that almost always reasonable steps are taken to consider local people, but you can?t please all the people all the time)

How?s that ?evident??


Because everyone in the immediate vicinity of the rye is still ravaged and could never accept inevitable reality?


You?re right on the rye i assume?

Ah right, that?s ok then. As long as you had fun, who cares about the neighbours.


And pk, I don?t live directly next to the Rye no, but I can be empathetic towards people who have concerns. Ever heard of that word empathy? I know it?s a swear word to most in the 21st century.


Louisa.

That?s really pathetic

Alas I can't say I canvassed every house for opinion (perhaps next year) - but as a very sociable bit of street with a lot a neighbours who know, chat and socialise with each other on a day to day basis - I can report that nobody I know was RAVAGED. A few said they wished they'd got tickets. A few said they wished they were younger, or didn't have young kids, so they could have got tickets. Some went out for the day and did something else. Some were a bit grumbly but ended up at "ah well" and moved on. A few said 'our kids are going, hope it's good'. They're generally an empathetic lot, I expect they simply extended some of that empathy in the general direction of the park for a day or two. You should give it a go.


However.. I will be sure to let them all know that someone who doesn't even live nearby was determined to get in a tiresome stew about it on their behalf - for internet kicks.

Good points Nigello although I hope that we do not go the way of other boroughs in terms of the volume of events in future (no pun intended).

Ravaged! Depressing! Terrible!


Classic stuff. Straight out the Daily Mail!


The individuals problem's are about a lot more than a tame music festival happening 2 days out of 365 with a finishing time of 10pm, they are with the world and life itself. Whilst quite sad, it is also a source of amusement.

Dont have too much audio, lighting or indeed fun, or else there'll be a thread about you on this forum come Monday morning.

    • Indeed ianr, I didn't have time to include all Royal Mail options, thanks for that extra bit, they have been spot on for me, I use them a lot and have never had any issues with delivery, touch wood!
    • People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour. 
    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use.
