Sydenham Town Forum

You appear to be as confused as I am. I cannot now remember if I was banned on .life's SE23, SE26 and SE6 for 1m years, 1k years or whether the bans were commuted to 10 years. Looking today on SE26, ForestHull lists himself as admin and casts Chris Beach and JMLF in moderator roles. Never been sure ...

The forum definitely needs a "Like" button.

To paraphrase an Irish comedian of some repute "It's the way you tell 'em, Stuart".

Many and frequent reports of recent problems with Virgin service generally in patches around Lewisham with added grief that problems are not being fixed rapidly. For all their reputation Virgin are not well resourced engineering wise and combined with localised upgrades to their high speed offering ...

Updates and very localised data at a much greater granularity than before has become available from the .GOV site on the web. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/interactive-map A few extracts: Lower Sydenham: Seven days to 23 November 2020: Total cases: 5 The rate has decreased relative to the ...

The Sydenham Society position was undoubtedly wise in planning terms; we were advised to demonstrate that we aren't adamant about demolition, and appreciated the disruption to the pupils' education, even though it's absolutely justified, and the only way of delivering the approved design. As I lay ...

Our attempts to suggest adaptions have been used by the Archdiocese to claim we are asking for things not in the approved design. Durr. That's because you built a different building. JGD, the person doing all the talking for the Archdiocese on the M&C webcast is actually Dr Simon Hughes, the Di...

I find it a worry, personally, that council members are unaware of the £6.1m endowment, and that officers of C&YP are so determined to keep it secret that even high level members aren't being told. Yes, public money, approved by mayor and cabinet, but the conditions unknown, and signed off by o...

Were you less rude, I would have shared it with you but you don't seem well motivated in your demands. Are you sure your characterisation of my actions as being rudeness is the only criteria stopping you, Julia? If not for me - don't you feel your Status as a Rule 6 participant would be enhanced by...

As you live in Perry Hill, and growsydenham lives around Mayow, it is of daily importance to neither of you. It's a shame that you don't see that your lengthy posts, and their personal attacks, puts off people from getting involved in a group, that could improve their environment So you know where ...

I cannot believe that you are offended by my criticising the council. I am not offended. If you view my observation about you ascribing negativity to both the Council and the School as only being critical of your actions and not the real point that was in the post, perhaps others may see your stanc...

Julia Like a lot of watchers of progress on this case it is difficult to define what is thought of the observations you make . You describe very little of what is actually happening and what actions you have undertaken to bridge any differences that may exist in the community where it is located and...

On 22 March, 2017, the Mayor & Cabinet approved a “Land Transfer to The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark for nil consideration for the duration of the lifetime of the school on that site.” This was the land on which the new classroom block was built, the old playground on the corner of F...

Here is a November 2020 update on Airspace Redesign, aircraft noise and the activities of ICCAN, the Independent Commission on Civil Aviation Noise from @ThorNogson . The pandemic has made our skies virtually devoid of aircraft movements - but matters may return to high levels of air-traffic in the ...

Maybe the area is being subject to particular attention. It may be a little like TV licencing - it is easy to see where a car once had up-to-date road fund licence - and now it doesn't - so let us compile a list of such vehicles in similar locations and go see if they are still on the road. And clam...

Long gone are the days of tax discs. You would need to do an online check using the index number. Additional benefit would be not only would it confirm whether the vehicles are taxed - but whether MoT's are up-to-date. Some smart phone apps will report on the status of vehicle insurance - but not su...

Is that the music for "Curb Your Enthusiasm" I can hear playing in the background?

I did put up Parker1970's commentary by way of half an advanced warning that it was worth the double!



I have another tree-feller joke - but I won't tell it now.

I'll save it for later.

Ok Robin

Mick and Pat have emigrated to Canada and are looking for work.

They are out in the backwoods and stroll past a sign that says "Tree-fellers Wanted".

Mick turns to Pat and says:

"There's a great pity.

We can't go for it - there's only two of us "

Thank you Parker1970.

To remember all the jokes over the years is hard work - and to earn a "double" is a real achievement.

Is this a cue for the tree-fellers' joke.

The punchline is:

We can't go for it- there's only two of us.
