Re: Recommendation for Window Glazier

try SDG windows - they're located opposite Sydenham Library. They did a great job with our double glazing last year. Not sure if they can do what you're asking but worth giving Vick a call (020 8616 1516) or drop him an email (info@sdglazing.co.uk)

Re: mobile mechanic

My neighbour has used D&S Key motors (www.dskeymotors.co.uk) who carry out her car servicing and MOT outside her house every year. So she's been using them 5+ years.

Re: GPs in Sydenham

Useful tip for those that miss the early morning queue for Syd Green Practice - try ringing at 1.30-2pm to see if they have an afternoon appointment for that day. Sometimes they receive cancellations during the morning so release those appointments around that time. If it is an emergency, you should...

Re: My visit to the new Tesco Express

I went in yesterday to spend my £3 off voucher, but struggled to find stuff that I wanted in there - I also went in with a pram and found the aisles a little bit too narrow. It didn't help with the staff leaving their crates mid-aisle to unload items onto the shelves - I had to reverse back up aisle...

Re: Antenatal classes

Hi Kirsty! We attended the antenatal classes at Lewisham Hospital too a couple of years ago. Not sure if it has changed much but found it quite useful with tours of the birth centre, maternity ward and labour wards, tips on breastfeeding, finding out about different methods of pain relief, equipment...

1. Other than the pub where do you currently purchase your beer from? Sainsburys - usually get the beers from here purely for convenience as it's nearer to me and they have offers on occassionally 2. What type of beer do people prefer to drink? Any of the popular brands really - and probably whateve...

Saturday mornings are a nightmare in there I find. Too many people and staf...

I have complained to Royal Mail customer services....wonder if I will get any response from them. I thought that when you pay extra for Recorded Delivery (and Special Delivery), that it means that a recipient signs for it, so that you can trace who signed for it. Surely the postie can't sign it hims...

Unsigned recorded deliveries

I've received two small parcels through the letter box this week which were both Recorded Deliveries - so both would have required signatures. However, none have been provided as I've been out both times and the postie didn't leave a "While you were out" card Is there some kind of new proc...

I think it looks great! A huge improvement on the current signage. If I didn't already know what the shop front was for, I would definitely stop, have a nosey and try it out. With the current setup, I probably wouldn't go in, were it not for the good reviews that I have about it on here. Let's hope ...
