Great to be out on the doorstep over #theboatrace weekend in West Putney with Cllr Jeremy Ambache listening to views & concerns of residents

Great feedback on maintaining the lowest Council Tax in the UK, improvements to roads & pavements, and investment into leisure services.

Ah…”The Boat Race”. Rich posh people watching two groups of rich posh people race each other on a river which is a total biohazard. If only they could combine it with fox hunting. The rich would be wanking themselves catatonic whilst quaffing champagne and singing the national anthem.

Re #theboatrace/#BoatRace2025, the reason why water quality is so bad in The Thames is too much sewage from too many economic/CAPITALIST immigrants; stop #immigration/start (peaceful) repatriation - including Sadiq Khan; my #poem on "Congestion" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/02/walk...

#FromTheArchives here are some photographs of the 1895 University Boat Race. Three of the men (H. B. Cotton, M. C. Pilkington, and C. D. Burnell) were Magdalen men. Oxford were victorious, in 20 mins, 50 sec. Let's hope for a similar outcome for both Dark Blue teams 130 years later! #TheBoatRace
Black and white photograph of 10 men, posing for a rowing group photograph. They are in two rows, with 5 men standing and 5 men sitting in front of them. Two of the men sitting have a dog on their lap. On the border, handwritten is 'Group photo labelled ‘Varsity Boat Race 1895' All the men's names, except for that of the central figure (possibly the coach), are given thus: Burnell (Charles Desborough Burnell, mat.1895) W.E. Crum Stretch H.B. Cotton C.M. Pitman M.C. Pilkington W.B. Stewart Black and white photograph of the river Thames at Putney Bridge. There are several rowing boats in the water, including the Oxford and Cambridge 8s. It is the 1895 University Boat Race, and the photo has a handwritten label reading ‘March 30th 4 p.m.’ The photo itself is printed with ‘Boat Race 1895. The Start. Gordon (Putney).’ In the right-hand margin is a list of the Oxford team members, giving their positions in the boat thus: H.B. Cotton - Bow M.C. Pilkington – 2 Phillips – 3 Stretch – 4 W.B. Stewart – 5 Burnell – 6 W.E. Crum – 7 C.M. Pitman – Str. Serocold – Cox Black and white photo of the University Boat Race, passing under Hammersmith Bridge. 1895. One of the teams (Oxford?) is a few lengths ahead Black and white photo of the Oxford vs Cambridge boat race from 1895, with spectators and various boats visible. The photo is printed with the label ‘Boat Race 1895. The Finish. Gordon (Putney). It is rather faded, but the two teams can just about be made out, with one team much further ahead (presumably Oxford, who are recorded as having won it this year)

It's not the River Thames but the Bridgewater Canal is just as lovely.

In honour of #TheBoatRace we're throwing back to when some of our Guides got out on the water.
