Any one ever seen the film HOT FUZZ, for some reason this thread reminds me of that film ???

An average of £1.17 to send large fancy cards many many miles, seems reasonable to me.

In the words of Jack Dee " If you dont like it, take them yourself, see how far you get on your £19.97!".

I am joking, thanks for the warning.

Superb ! Thank you so much.

I agree, its not good and needs to be sorted out.

Red Lion ? which one is that ?

I dont know any thing "extra" was just puzzled by two conflicting texts: That has now been explained. The Greyhound is a very important site but the debate should be balanced.

Yep, that clears it up, just a miss communication, the paper accidentaly got your number and asked if you were a member of the Sydenham Society, happens to me all the time, Doh, how did they get my number ? What about the " almost always end up as fast food outlets etc " , I am keen to kno...

Have checked out the lewisham Planning registers and there are no applications going back for at least two years. Can only assume that a refurbishment of the existing building would not need Planning. The name change is strange as I would think the Post Office would need to agree that along with the...

The comments about the Sydenham Society getting the Greyhound listed are puzzling. What on earth are you talking about? Buildings are always being put forward for listing, sometimes at the request of English Heritage, sometimes by local councils etc. The last time the Sydenham Society asked for the...

Is there any guarantee that it will re open as a Pub if the Building is not demolished ? Where are the instances where new A3 as part of a new residential scheme "mostly" becomes fast food outlets and takeaways? The High street "Names" open new outlets weekly, they must go somewh...

"Sydenham has HUGE potential. The best bet for Sydenham would be to buy up old council buildings (most of which are privately owned these days) and convert those like they have in Deptford.[/quote] Ok, Interesting Why and What for ? n.b. I heard the new devlopment was meant to have a new Pub wi...

I agree and am going to delve further.

The last I new it was being used as a Hostel for Assylum seekers. Not sure now though.

I new a chap many years ago who was a very talented sportsman. He never put these talents to full use preferring to play team sports for lower grade sides and stand out as a super star than play with a higher abilty field and appear average. He admitted that this was his plan, I always found that a ...

So about 3% of Sydenhams population (2001 Census) have signed a pettition, thats interesting, I would have expected more.

I take your points Simon and Nork, this is a discussion; however, the Dolphin is not the Gateway to Sydenham and never fell in to external dissrepair from my recollection, (ive drunk in it and the lion and the greyhound for 20 years). I have never been in the two halves, so can not comment, maybe so...

No, No, I dont believe that everything should make way for housing at all. Is there not a pub next door to the Greyhound ? and a few further down Kirkdale the Windmill etc and the the other way the Two Halfs and the Dolphin ? Whats happend to the Man of Kent? Has that gone for housing to developers ...

Why would the Pub company sell a pub that was financially viable and busy and so well patronised by all the locals and used as a community focal point? Pubs are closing because lifestyles have changed and people do not use them as much as in the past. If Pubs were in such demand by the populace the...
