Sydenham Town Forum

Greg, Glad to see everything's okay now! I am also sorry about my 'humorous' comments. Of course you're still welcome to the clean-up, not that I have any say about who attends! I am still awaiting a call from Julie Sutch about when its happening. Back to the subject in hand – that's great news abou...

Greg WHAT!?! Er... I was actually joking, and I certainly don't have an issue with you. In fact I thought you were one of the nice people who was (were?) going to come and help with the cleaning up of the neighbourhood (another thread) how you were going to do that without mixing with people like me...

Greg I'd like to welcome you to the top of Sydenham Hill but we don't let in people who can't write properly. :lol: and simply cannot function without they're morning coffee I hope your parents got a discount on that expensive education! :wink: Seriously though, did you have a bad experience in Broc...

Why can't there be a decent greengrocers that sells local(ish) produce? I went to 'Fresh and fruity' because of recommendations on here but was a bit disappointed at the selection. I don't really want stuff that's been flown half way round the world thanks.

Well I luk 4ward 2 c-ing u dumpin ur stuff an reportin u, u selfish t**t.

The Underground may have a good name but its not exactly reliable. In theory its got a very regular service but in practice alot of it is so overcrowded that many people try to avoid it. Maybe the Overground will be better and then we'll be envied for having one of the first 'Overground' stations.

I have just spoken to Colin Sandiford regarding the Clean Up Days. Apparently it is Julie Sutch who organises these and so I've left my number and apparently she's going to get in touch with the dates. The Clean Up Days sound fairly lightweight due to the health and safety restrictions, ie. no lifti...

There are lots of parts of the 'Underground' that are in fact overground. We should campaign to get them all changed to 'London Overground' as well.

Who knows 'London Overground' might turn out to be better than the Underground. The main thing is about getting a better transport service. If Ken's in charge I reckon its going to be good even though it does just sound like a branding exercise. On the other hand its a bit cheeky to say one thing an...

Well Chrisf I think that's pretty terrible that you don't make more of an effort. In fact it makes me sick that you resort to dumping it in the street. I have just renovated my house and I had 8 van-loads of stuff to dump. I took it to the dump near elephant and castle (Manor road I think it is), si...

Hi Greg and nasaroc Its great to hear that you are interested in helping clean up too. I did give the council a ring and asked for Colin Sandiford, it went through to his voicemail- it said he's on holiday til the 4th sept (today), so I will give him another call tomorrow and post back then. It did ...

I think that class is a state of mind. I consider myself to be middle class despite the fact I didn't go to public school and don't earn anywhere near 100k. However I did get picked on in school for being 'posh' so maybe that was due to my mum having been to boarding school and bringing me up proper...

I was interested to read in the latest edition of 'Lewisham Life' (free magazine that popped through my door) that 'Ugly graffiti and flytipped junk were given short shrift when Downham and Forest Hill held Clean Up Days.' The article continues 'Local councillors, business people, volunteers and oth...

biffa,

Well done for standing up and saying something, even though you only got abuse in return I still think it makes it less likely to happen again. As long as people do that it will make a difference and is part of what gives Sydenham its community feel.

Siren watch update: Heard one siren at ten to one, last saturday night. Other than that...nothing much.

In my experience people who grew up in London love the town but aspire to live somewhere a bt greener. That's why all the Londoners live round the ede of London. They still want to work in town and enjoy the things the city has to offer but don't necessarily want the grit. People who insist on livin...

oh yeah, I forgot to say... I live in a sort of paradise. There are trees infront of my house.. trees behind my house.. woodpeckers in my garden... green stuff all around. Sydenham Wells Park, Crystal Palace park and the many woods. That's why I live here. I sincerely hope that part of it never chan...

Alright fishface, what's your big plan then? At least Knighton has one.

Oh I must've been out.. still haven't heard anything.

Ok, so whoever finds out who the new owners are, and gets the chance to speak to them, point them in the direction of this website and then they'll have all the info they'll need. I have never been to the Greyhound, and its not likely that I'm going to go there til I've heard somthing positive on th...
