The Fridays London Ride - Windows and Death - 29th December

[theclaud]

I discover that I was even right about St Katharine Cree - both its date (1504 and 1631) and its odd spelling of "Katharine". I worry about myself sometimes.

Time to go out for a bike ride, srw!

Time to go out for a bike ride, srw!

I've gone on a bike ride tonight. It's cold! This is the first time I've worn a down jacket while pedalling a Brommie. Still, wouldn't want to miss the Johnstone's Paint Trophy excitement at Sixfields. It's half-time: Cobblers 0 Orient 0.

 

[srw]

I went for a bike ride earlier - a short pull up the hill from a station to our training centre, and then down again after lunch.

 

[Becs]

Can I be a maybe?

I shall be out of London for this ride - always seem to miss these unfortunately.
I see Hanover square is not on the route although in August it was indeed the scene of death caused by a 300 kg window which was left precariously balanced against a wall during construction of a new building.

possibly.

Just let me know when you're certain. I'm not holding places because it's almost full already.

I won't know until a few days before - depends how horrific xmas is! Surely I can bimble along to the pub at least?

 

[dellzeqq]

you'll have mail in a bit.......

srw - I've been annoyed by not being able to attribute the building you work in - but I think I've worked out the building it pays tribute to

Carson Pirie, Chicago. 1899

You've lost me now, DZ. The State Linoleum Factory No 24?

My knowledge of Leninist linoleum is limited to that in the small room he worked in at 37a Clerkenwell Green, now the Marx Memorial Library. When I went to a meeting there about a dozen years ago - it was the AGM of the William Morris Society (Morris had guaranteed the rent which the socialist tenants were paying in the 1880s) - the Library was selling small framed squares of the original linoleum - linoleum that Lenin had walked on! It seemed expensive at the time and, regretfully, I didn't buy a square.

So, what about this factory?

My knowledge of Leninist linoleum

This is yet another example of why The Fridays is such a wonderful institution - where else would you see that phrase but on a Fridays thread?

 

[StuartG]

Was it fixed or railed linoleum?
