Sydenham Town Forum

Living as I do along side an active canal, I would venture to suggest that those stones may be the edge of a lock or wharf. Towpaths are seldom edged unless in those two areas of activity. If I am right, under those stones should be courses of brick I'm not sure if I have the right place, is this at...

and I thought it was just me that found nosocs to be a bit grumpy of late

Ignore the sell by dates anyway Poppy, it has no relation to the fitness of the item to eat.
It has more to do with the supermarket stock control.

Once generally known as the working mans club.
These days I expect there is some kind of PC twaddle to prevent that, on the grounds someone unemployed will take offence at it?

Simple Supermarkets killed those varieties of shops which you complain are not there any more, and wish were. My mum used to shop in Forest hill, 1950's and 60's as it was nearer to The top end of Kirkdale; Between the Bird in Pub in Dartmouth Road and the shops opp the old cinema there was David Gr...

I find all this dicussion about what supemarket you all want in Sydenham very intriguing, especially inthe light of the other threads debating about what you would like to see done to the Greyhound, Bank, and the selection of tatty pound shops in the High street and the state of the High street gene...

"an alcoholic in penge"


shurely shome mishtake?

FACT People who need to drink in the early morning have a drink problem. FACT, most of todays societies problems are Alcohol related. So, Sydenham is now full of early morning/all day boozers looked on with indulgence by by those that would rather have a spliff to start the day? Meanwhile these tips...

That walk is less than 2 miles.
an absolute doddle
I used to do it all the time, and further besides
would give you an excuse to stop for a quick half at the woodman, or pick up a bag of chips to walk off

were these boxes about 6 feet long by 18inches high?

did they look a bit sinister? lots of bats about?

definately time to avoid Venner road after dark then.

Mind you when I lived at the penge east end, it was wise to avoid most of Venner road at any time

Was he holding a knife and talking to an old woman in a chair by any chance?

Apparently a planning application to turn it into offices has just been received from the British National Party.

today is my grumpy day

A higher degree of literacy would probably help your case a little, as you seem to have the grammar skills of Vicky Pollard .
Your post above barely makes sense.
But I suppose that's a racist point of view.

I knew this would happen. I love the phrase " all right thinking people"... ie any one who disagrees with your way of thinking. Nobody is right except you then? And I did not mention colour, I said "transient immigrants" I have sound on my TV, sometimes the accents tell a 1000 wo...

well Nasaroc, I agree with your suport of the post office in every way What has it got to do with transient immigrant staff? every time I see a picture on the TV of strike action at a major sorting office in London it always seems to be noticably al immigrant staff on the picket. I remember a TV pro...

Interesting comments on the Post Office In SE26 Down here in swamp country our posties are as good as gold, mail delivered well before 8.30 most days, they know where to leave things, will flag me down in the lane if they have something that needs a signature, and I am out or on my way out, The loca...

Its taking longer and longer to download the palace sticky; could it not be divided up into sub sections/

quote " and formally warn you that your views on copyright and theft of images is being monitored ." reads like a veiled threat to me. and even given that there may be a copyright issue here, Falkors views on the matter are his, and it is not yet a crime in this country to have a view of s...

Whatever your differences, with Falkor, And I have mine also inregards to copyright, your immediate ressort to veiled threats of this kind does you no good, nor supports your claim. Indeed it would rather support those of Falkor. As for the copyright involved with publicaly available 100 year old ph...
