Update.

Better half received an email this morning advising that Christmas Orders can be placed online for collection from the new store.

No time wasted there.

Visited on opening day - all round enjoyable experience.

Place is a little larger and roomier than the equivalent in Beckenham with plenty of space in the aisles and on the first day plentiful staff were busy looking after customers and re-stocking shelves. Range of stock was very wide with what I ...

Planning permission was granted in April 2025 for a four-storey building containing ...

Ihis is a test reply - attempt 1.

Success - all ok at this end.

Thank you.

Steady lad!

It would seem our good neighbours in Forest Hill may soon get a Morrisons.

Does this increase the liklihood of a Waitrose turning up soon?

It might explain the dearth of posts in recent times.

How many users will, first of all, learn the work-around and, secondly, go round the loop, perhaps more than once.

More likely frustration will prevail and hence engagement falls.

Perhaps matter needs a little attention @admin.

Post note ...

Good example here - it took two attempts to post this and only succeeded because I copied the draft post and then re-pasted after a circuit on the re-login loop.

For some time now there has been a buggy set of displays around writing or posting.

Frequently user is asked to re-login.

Frequently post is lost during these processes.

If this appear on the forum it will the first successful post in a very long time.

Proposals are of biblical proportions.

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.

LB Lewisham has granted permission for the M&S proposal at Bell Green.

It was observed by end of business Friday the stop at Lidls had re-opened.

We are accustomed at this end of the borough to the inevitability of road works and the traffic control measures that come with them.

In the last year or so it seems however, that bus stop closures alongside these measures are more frequent and now almost universally it is the case that TfL do not ...

Fascinating analysis - and obviously not in the style of St John Curtice.

How does one get involved in polls of this nature?

Do you have to set up your own study or poll group(s)?

Is there funding or allowances granted for the duration of the engagement?

I think we should be told.

I planned to attend.

I am a bit puzzled about you having to provide a certificate of public liability insurance.

When hiring a venue for a public meeting, it is the normal practice for the venue for public and private meetings to have such a certificate of cover in place and for you, as a meeting ...

A note of caution.

Despite a fairly widespread welcome from residents of Perry Vale, Bellingham and Lower Sydenham to the introduction of this new proposal from M&S, it seems bodies from outside our area are less content.

It appears FHSoc has taken to one of its old bad habits by submitting ...

On a slightly wider but parallel front.
