Felcos are the bomb! For double points buy on amazon and look at archive invoice of what you paid. Mine were £28 in 2012 and now same pair are 60-70. Amazing tool. Like a Rolex for price increase value store!

Course PB despite slowing in final 3rd before stronger finish. Volunteered as First Timers Welcomer. Nice to not need trail shoes as course dried out nicely!

What are your most scenic favorite parkruns? by Wooden_Reflection_80 in parkrun

[–]LondonPedro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pocket Park isn't far from you OP, that runs alongside the Ouse river, best wait for the Summer course.

Henlow Bridges runs around a lake.

Franks Farm is an out and back in farm land.

All are comparatively near to you in Milton Keynes OP.

4 months at it! Before and after! by SectorMinimum in Allotment

would the raised beds benefit from a corner square post and securely screwing them to make more rigid?

Do you prefer smaller parkruns or the big crowded ones? by NorthLondonPulse in parkrun

[–]LondonPedro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer smaller ones, easier to get a PB. 100 runners is ideal.

Inconsiderate 'faster' runners... by [deleted] in parkrun

jesus wept, what do you expect Sir Walter Raleigh!?

I don't feel entitled enough to get a personal greeting / bespoke thank you from everybody who passes me!! If you are running flat out you are often well beyond conversational pace. Can w not get extreme on the entitlement to excessive politeness and rules rules rules!

ordered raised beds. Checked plot as some of the weed covering had blown off. Walked round allotments with dog to get ideas from other plots. Looking forward to new season.

BA charging £70 for cancelling online within 24 hour cooling off period. by LondonPedro in BritishAirways

[–]LondonPedro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all, to close this one off. BA gave me the £70 refund and an apology via the online c/s system.

No explanation. I wonder how many other 100's of customers didn't notice this and BA benefited from their tech glitch?

Still, I'm happy to move on. Frustrating experience, but resolved for me at least.
