Man's pecker near Peckarman's Wood

Hi all, My wife was walking along Crescent Wood Road yesterday (about 4pm) - opposite the entrance to Peckarman's Wood - when she noticed a man in his car with his pants down playing with his willy. Definitely deliberate exposure as he smirked when he saw she'd seen. Reported to the police as these ...

Recommend a childminder?

Hi, I am looking for a childminder for my DC3, who is 2 and a bit. Would be grateful for any local recommendations - I've got the list from Lewisham and Southwark councils, but it's always nice to have someone recommended (speaking as a former childminder...)

Many thanks.

For sale - great baby changing bag

For sale - leatherette Koto baby changing bag, in good condition. Wipeable, capacious and not particularly baby-looking, loved it. Came with changing mat and bottle holder (as you see in the photo on the Amazon link below), but afraid I put them somewhere safe as I didn't need them, and now can't fi...

Can anyone recommend a tutor for a 9 year old (exam prep)?

That's pretty much it really: I am looking for a tutor to help prepare my son for entrance exams.
I would be really grateful for personal recommendations of tutors whose services you may have used!

Re: Venner Road singing group

Brilliant, thank you, have just been wondering the same thing. Now my little one is 1, I need to get in the swing of toddler groups again. I used to go to lots of things on Sydenham Hill, but with the cuts, they've closed down. I am trying to stay local-ish (I used to go to lots of things in Beckenh...

Toddler groups on a Thursday?

Hi - wondered if anyone can recommend a local group on a Thursday morning? There used to be the BEST ever toy library session at Kelvin Grove school about 3 years ago, but think it may have been a victim of the cuts... There also used to be a group at Venner Road every other Thursday - does anyone k...

Which secondaries do local primary kids go on to, on whole?

I feel very ignorant on this topic. With primary school, it was relatively straight-forward: we applied for one of closest state primaries on the SE23/26 border and happened to get in. Now my eldest in 9. And suddenly lots of parents seem to be moving to Hayes/ West Wickham/ Beckenham. Friends in Be...

Street dance/ tap classes for 7 year old?

My daughter is keen to start dance classes. She dabbled in ballet at age 3-4, she quite fancies tap.
Can anyone recommend anywhere locally?
Thanks.

Really impressed that you have got this all off the ground so quickly. Seems to be a lot of activity and, best of all, decisions are being made and things are moving. Good luck.

Hi - thanks so much for the message.

Re finding out more about the school: the best thing would be to come and have a look round the school at our next Open Day - further information can be found on the school's website. http://eliotbankprimaryschool.co.uk/

I'm not saying there's a link between the two things, but yesterday I emailed the Chief Executive of GLL and accused him of upsetting the local community (among other things) and today I see they have opened the stadium to the local community to see the Olympic Torch next week - free of charge....

Re: Crystal Palace Sports Centre closed for Olympics

There is an article on page 5 of this week's South London Press about this. Not terribly well written but gets over the main points. As I've been speaking to friends about this it is clear how many locals actually use the centre for swimming lessons, diving lessons, Kidz Klub etc and when speaking t...
