The Ship still my favourite Croydon pub

               The Ship is a small pub in the middle of Croydon and a true Croydon landmark, having been virtually unchanged for the better part of nearly a century.

Historically, the earliest brewery records for The Ship date back to 1640! The building, in its basics, is from that date. Here’s something else which is good: it was called The Shippe but has never had any association with the sea or boats. The reason for the name is that shippe was an old colloquial way of writing Sheep. So it was called The Sheep. ........

And of my history It must of been late 1978 after seeing The Dammed in the Greyhound and me a young 20 year old getting beaten up outside Millets opp the ship, Oh how it all adds to the melody of life. Music at the SHIP I remember the smokey nights of Real Beer, Real music,  sawdust and a lively atmosphere. Even the bad times were good,
 But now I choose another way.......

Ahimsa love to all living beings.

 Ahimsa...

         11th November 2011

I have today attended the annual Christmas event given by the young Indian Ahimsa group led by their tireless international spokesperson Nitin Mehta MBE, very accomplished in supporting animal rights and always promoting vegetarianism, Nitin may just save the planet, he knows what it takes to turn things round.       But is the planet listening???

        Ahimsa is a Sanskrit term which is often translated meaning to non-injury to living beings or dynamic harmlessness.

        Ahimsa a word that has several opinions like a picture does.

Remove the “a” in front of Ahimsa and you get “himsa” which is to harm.

So let us celebrate Ahimsa as a living love for all things from the smallest of tiny, tiny insects to the biggest whale in the sea. God created all of these so who are we to destroy.

When God said in the Bible Genesis_1:26  “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”     That dominion did not mean to kill and hurt and harm and destroy and test on, not to pull and push and punish poor creatures that are weaker than ourselves just because we can dominate them.

Dominion is to love, to cherish, to protect, to nourish, to flourish, to encourage. why? because we can.

The event was great we had a full vegetarian curry with bread and Jellabies and all sorts of fine food, as well as meeting Nitin,  I sat with an MP a once mayor of Croydon, on the same table as the present Mayor as well as painter Pat Mears and Helen Buckland from Croydon vegetarians and my very own dear wife Linn.
