Next year, if you do the 45, do let me know because it terminates outside my house! We could meet for a pint or a photoshoot or something

You mention the Wandle Valley. By a curious coincidence, the Valley was in the news yesterday.
Apparently, the good people of Sutton have given the idea of a Wandle Valley Regional Park the thumbs up - see here:

See the park website here:
http://www.wandlevalleypark.org.uk/
The park will, if completed, cover 8000 acres and extend from Wandsworth through Earlsfield, Colliers Wood, Merton, Mitcham and Morden before ending up around Carshalton/Beddington.
Somehow, I get the feeling that some parts of it could be quite attractive, whilst other parts will be less so - possibly a collection of green handkerchiefs linked together by waymarkers and interpretation boards.

"a herd of parked-up police cars"
I'm pretty sure that the correct collective noun for several police cars is a sty.

Pity you didn't take a picture of the old co-op (the store marked progress)I only have one in its later incarnation.

Talking of the chelsea barracks, here's some great photos taken of it inside, just before it was knocked down:

I know the Candy brothers are supposed to be developing the site - however, I wonder if the original OTT plans will be affected by the current economic slump?

Seeing those pictures took me back a few years. My Dad used to live in Tooting when it was a nice little 'village' ( I think it was about 1913) but he took me there in the 50's and was very proud to show me where he grew up. I think it's changed a bit since. I remember the 'Tooting Popular Front'on T.V. raised it's profile for a while.

Sorry, I forgot to add H.B. for yesterday, what a way to spend your special day, on a London Bus!

Don't worry, I never spend my birthday on the bus. I make the journey a few days before.

There's something oddly satisfying about going on a journey just for the sake of it, even if it is just the number 44 to Tooting. It's quite fascinating what you see sometimes, and there are interesting things which can easily be overlooked.
You also mention Smith Brothers. I just hope they and other independent, family-owned department stores can make it through the ongoing recession.

I gotta say, I've been completely amazed by the amount of change on the riverfront. I've taken to riding parts of the Thames path with my pushbike, at first going downriver from Woolwich, but more recently upriver from, say, Deptford to (so far) up as far as Hammersmith.
There are so many new developments from Vauxhall right along to Battersea ('Battersea Reach') and on to Wandsworth ('St George') it's just incredible.
[And it's all as predicted by Bob Hoskins, as Harold Shand, nearly 30 years ago!]
I Spy for 10 points what they've put as 'decoration' on the tops of each of the blocks that form Battersea Reach.

fair do's DG; BTW your Outer Hebrides guide is first class (better late than never).

Lovely. I've always thought about going on random bus journeys, but never have got myself around to it.
