My little 2 3/4 year-old monkey loves the pool at Centerparcs, I have just bought a car, and it looks like its going to be nasty weather this Easter.


This adds up to one thing: Centreparcs being booked up and very expensive anyway, can anyone suggest a good fun pool to go to next week? Something with a pretend beach, waves, that sort of thing. Doesn't have to be in London. Am perfectly happy to drive for an hour or so to get there.

The Glades in Bromley has a little slide, waves and a teeny pool for little ones. Only about a 20-min drive max. More expensive than ordinary swimming pools but much cheaper than Centre parcs!! Worth checking their website for session times, and if you can go for the lunchtime session that's usually less busy...
The arches leisure centre in greenwich is amazing has two slides one in the shallow end and one in the deep end, the shallow end starts off very shallow great for toddlers, they have spray, bubble and wave machines, lots of floats and a jacuzzi in the pool! prices are not expensive, the pool is part of GLL. Bromley is also good but I have always prefferred greenwich as there is much more to do and more younger kids as appose to teenagers.
We went to Latchmere a few weeks ago (before the beautiful weather) and although the pool was great, I really disliked the changing facilities: they were so dirty! They had obviously not been cleaned that day and I am not sure if it had been cleaned all week. Maybe I'm spoiled by Peckham and Dulwich pools but that level of dirt (including dirty nappies on the floor, bins overflowing and a strong smell of....) almost made us turn around... having paid ?9 for 2 adults+1 baby we decided to stay. As I said, the pool was great and maybe it is not normally that bad, but we'll be trying Bromley and Greenwich instead.

    • From the sign. Turn left up Peckham Rye, turn right onto Barry Road, straight across at the lights onto Eynella Road which leads you to Court Lane and Dulwich Park. You could turn right here and Dulwich Village is at the end of Court Lane. Of course you could stand by the sign and be “Now here or Nowhere”
    • 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.    
    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly.
