Re: Spam posts on this forum

I agree, maestro. The Town Pub is clearly on its last legs - only two or three regulars nowadays - and the wit and conviviality one used to find on the forum generally seems to have disappeared. Perhaps one reason is that we're all too anxious to avoid offending each other. Do you agree, you fat Sc...

Re: Old London

Looking in vain for a motor car (although haven't watched it all.) When first might you have expected to see one in London? Numerous motorised charabancs are evident in several scenes, something resembling a motorised hen hut appears at 11:46 weaving through the general throng of horse drawn traffi...

Amazing film recordings from approx. 120 years ago converted to colour. Watch out for the fire brigade turning out at 22:13.

You've been rumbled Robin, obviously you'd been on the sauce last night so deleted your post when you saw it this morning. :lol: Anyway, this article makes far more sense than the remain campaign.

Re: Sydenham Grand Prix

I saw a bloke on a very noisy, small green motorbike, very fast down Lennard Road earlier tonight. Appeared to be ridden by a middle aged white guy in a grey hoody with no helmet. He was bald and had mad staring eyes. I think he was on something, other than the small green motorbike. Stay safe A tr...

Re: Dylon works - FT reports L&Q buying bulk for social housing

Well who now knows what financial resources will be available for such redevelopment schemes once we're through this national crisis. However, the traffic bottleneck created by Lower Sydenham railway bridge (which still, as far as I'm aware, remains the second most struck in the UK) is something tha...

Re: Dylon works - FT reports L&Q buying bulk for social housing

Developers have won their appeal against Bromley Council and are now intending to build a new development of 254 units. Can't see the point in the current market when much of the first phase had to be sold off for social housing because they couldn't get rid of them, plus, long term, there are plans...

Re: Replacing windows

Stuart might back me up on this, I don't think magnetic secondary glazing would be suitable for doors. Acrylic panels are easily damaged, one of mine had to be scrapped when I received the delivery of the eight as it had been damaged by the courier, I took a pic of it and sent it to the supplier, it...

Re: Replacing windows

I also installed magnetic secondary glazing to my eight large wooden sash windows and I've found it very effective. My property is Grade II listed and I am compelled to have to maintain them, I am forbidden from fitting UPVC windows even if they may be identical in appearance. I had them all taken o...

Considering the value of the violin, an Aldi would hardly have been appropriate.
