Re: RIP

It would be a real shame if this forum died off. The replacements - e.g. NextDoor and facebook are nowhere near as good. Nextdoor in particular is totally useless. Slow, terrible search, over moderated. Awful.

Re: Virgin Broadband

Only one thing that Virgin will understand - move to a more reliable supplier.

Try community fibre - £100 amazon voucher for you and same for me.

Re: Virgin Broadband

I used to be on Virgin - for years. Expensive and unreliable with diabolical customer service to boot. I've recently moved to community fibre and I like it. I got three months free and then it was still cheaper and faster than Virgin. If you use my link I get a £100 amazon voucher and so do you. htt...

Re: Crystal Palace Parkrun

It doesn't mention Crystal Palace parkrun specifically, but it does say that only 3 out of 56 events have permission to resume.

Crystal Palace Parkrun

Does anyone know what is happening with this? I saw this story in the Guardian today. I hope Bromley have given it permission to return. It would seem hypocritical to ban park run from Crystal Palace Park when they have the Wireless festival and South Facing concert series. https://www.theguardian.c...

Re: Who's standing in the Sydenham by election in May?

Full results of the election are here -> https://lewisham.gov.uk/mayorandcouncil ... y-election

Surprisingly high turnout (45%) given that it was a foregone conclusion.

Re: Covid Vaccination- Sydenham Green Group Practice

Does anyone know if the under 50s are being vaccinated yet by Sydenham Green? It seems to be a bit hit and miss across London at the moment.

Re: New homes for Sydenham Hill Estate?

110 homes in that space is a lot. That could be an extra ~300 people. I think I would prefer a lower density of homes as we don't have the infrastructure (especially GP places) for even more people.

Re: Thinking about moving to the area

I too am on Collingtree. Nice quiet road but still close to station, a useful small Sainsburys, a PureGym and a nice pub (the Greyhound). You are well situated for parks too, with Wells park and Mayow park close by.

Re: Outrageous Acorn Estate Agents

If anyone did that with my house, I'd inform them that I am happy to accept advertising on my property for a fee of £100 per week and then send them an invoice for the first three months! That should get them to shift it quickly!

We do have the hospice. That might give us a larger number of very vulnerable and frail people.

Virgin broadband down in Lewisham

Anyone else on Virgin Broadband? It seems to have been dead for me for a couple of days now.
I called support and they told me it is a planned upgrade and that it might be Thursday before it gets sorted out!

On for 50k plus VAT and rates. That is a lot considering how work will need to be put into it. However the greyhound is always busy so clearly there is demand.

Today's Google doodle honours Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of St Christopher's hospice. I learned a few things I didn't know about her from the Wikipedia entry. Very inspirational.

Noise from Crystal Palace festival

This seems to have been going on all day. I can still hear it, even though I am a mile from the park and it is 11pm. This is really very unfair and inconsiderate. Does the music need to be so loud? It must be quite literally deafening by the stage.
