Cant believe Europe's biggest fridge mountain was right on my doorstep, and I never got to see it! Where's the biggest one now? Must see it before it's too late

Re. Manor Gardens allotments: And there I am in the belief that 'in perpetuity' means, err, in perpetuity. Silly me. Nice to know that some of you care about Stratford. Perhaps your support will extend to the 182 cyclists arrested during the recent 'Critical Mass'? (In memory of a cyclist killed near the Olympic stadium) http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2012/08/498692.html
In answer to a question posted earlier, concerning my favourite Charlton player: I tend to acknowledge team effort rather than individuals, so I find myself drawn to Bolder, Reid, Humphrey, etc. Lovingly crafted by Lennie. For sheer spirit and tenacity, however, one cannot fault our current crop. All for one, one for all. Anna likes that. I also have a soft spot for Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin. And St Pauli FC. And humous.
See you on the 21st. I'll be wearing my lucky knickers. X
So anna comes back at 1.30am (enjoy the closing ceremony?) to throw some more nonsense around. As the allotments are to be returned to their original location, guess what? That = 'perpetuity'. So yes, 'silly you'. Very silly you if you read your first post again.
Such an epic fail of a first post, then your second is just irrelevant rubbish.
Were you ignored earlier in your childhood? Do you want to tell us all about it? - we are all friends here.
Anyway back to the world where the sky is blue, good to see some positive international comments The Australian: "As awful as it is to admit, London 2012 was bigger, slicker, almost as friendly and more thoughtfully planned than Sydney in terms of the legacy it will leave the host city. As the post-mortems begin on how London compares with other Games in terms of crowd numbers, finances, sporting excellence and that beast of many faces called "legacy", there is one simple indication of the success of the past two weeks. That is the feeling of surprise among ordinary Londoners and people close to the Games that after all that anticipation and all their doubts, they had pulled it off so well. It is not a sense of 'We told you so', more one of 'My god, we actually did it!'"
I'm sure no-one is misled by "Anna's" name - "her" bike has definitely got a cross-bar. As an embracer of lost causes, probably an embittered Orient fan. I remember Temple Mills Lane and environs from 35 years ago - a wasteland of scrapyards and haulage depots, most with a hungry Alsatian on a chain - the whole area looked like Enola Gay's practice run.

I was under the impression that the protest and subsequent arrests were four days before the cyclists death?

Yes, you are correct, Love Child. I apologise for my error.
The London Cycling Campaign had, some time prior to the collision (which was on August 1st) flagged up to the Mayor's office its concern that the junction (where the death was to occur) was dangerous and should be reconfigured. Their concerns were not acted upon. If they had been, perhaps the cyclist would not have been killed.
I would hope that the engineering and technical expertise in the UK would put these Games ahead of previous ones. I wonder what the cost will be of it all. I would like to see my local A&E at Queen Mary's hospital reopened. It's highly unlikely that this will happen.
I do not support Leyton Orient, but will speak favorably of the O's Supporters' Club. I do have a long-standing connection with my local club, Charlton Athletic.
I thought the closing ceremony was self-indulgent drivel. One wonders what some of our guests from distant lands made of it. The Spice Girls? They weren't up to much first time round. Last night's offering was plain awful. No doubt others loved it. Whilst my view on the Olympics might differ from those of others on this forum, it doesn't make my view invalid.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good anarchist rant.

You might take the time to read this piece in the FT: "Capital warned of two-decade legacy wait"

Just like football turn up either go where the OB want you to or face getting nicked
You need to chill out the Olympics have been a great success
And very green
They are bringing in the Olympic sport of clutching at straws in Rio
You really should train harder you might get in
It's called progress, culture and civilisation. We can't all live in the 20th Century, so try not to get your knickers in a twist dear.
Don't bother about the humous and tarasamalata - Greece are now in a double dip recession. And it's all those bloody Olympics fault.

Good luck with that - the city is utterly mad! (though their buses are pretty good.)
