FREE IKEA SOFA

Hi all We no longer have need for our IKEA two-seater sofa which is well-loved but in good condition. It does have some light stains (I think a little spilt tea) so we have been using it with a throw over it. It's very comfy and certainly has a good few years life left in it. If you can collect from...

Re: Moving to Sydenham

I've lived in Sydenham (Peak Hill Gardens) for just over 6 years now and I think it's a great place. My daughter has gone to school here and loves it. The high street is a bit rough round the edges mainly due to a few boarded up shops and what appear to be abandoned buildings but it's got a great vi...

Laptop disposal

Hi all

Does anyone know if the computer-recycling thing still operates from Sydenham library? Failing that, anyone got any recommendations for how to dispose of three knackered old laptops?

Ta!

Re: Payless, Sydenham

All I have noticed is that their bloody PayPoint machine for electricity top-up has been on the blink for months now!

They are well laid-back about it, whenever I ask if it's fixed. I admire their chilled-out approach to retailing.

Re: Lewisham nighttime economy consultation - have your say!

there's a big void where live music should be. Before anyone points this out I have indeed noticed the Golden Lion does live music, and St Barts hosts occasional classical concerts but that's not really the sort of thing i'm thinking of: I'm thinking of the singer-songwriter/jazz/soul/open-mic type...
