I use buses fairly regularly.... I am very impressed with the school children who use the buses in this area, yes they are very loud and excitable and very slow at getting on and off but they are polite and well behaved. I never hear swearing I have never had reason to feel intimidated. What area/c...

6 minutes? I was expecting a quicker response than that!

Thanks Savvy, I'll give them a go.

I'm looking to get a new boiler installed and either get the radiators flushed or replaced. Does anyone have any recommendations for a reliable central heating firm?

I recently got myself a bike and I can hand on heart say I'm not guilty on all charges. It drives me mad seeing red lights being jumped... I stop because a)there's a red light and b)I'm unfit, I'm glad of the rest. I've had other cyclists shout at me for being in their way at red lights (this is usu...

They've got one of those in the Belmarsh canteen.

Life must be awful for you.

Try taking your middle class values to the Queen Adelaide in Penge, ask for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and some ciabatta and pesto nibbles, talk LOUDLY about how much your house is worth then bemoan the lack of a good deli in Maple Road.

You'll soon meet new people.

I'd like to but being a bloke I'm not allowed. Strange that.

If by anti-social you mean drug dealing along Springfield Road, yeah, I've noticed it. Nothing that a few cans of Stella and a baseball bat won't sort out mind.

Nasaroc,

I'm thinking of putting up net curtains and a Sky dish. Is this ok with you?

That signage, so tacky. Hardly likely to appeal to the young professional middle classes living in Sydenham. Maybe a slightly more subtle sign and an armed bouncer on the premises with orders to shoot on sight anyone called Wayne or Tracey who looks like they don't work as a consultant, earn over 5...

My general opinion of estate agents is unprintable. Credit where it's due though, George Proctor & Partners were nothing less than totally professional when I bought my place.

A women only gym? Doesn't that break every rule in the sex discrimination book?!

Being a 'professional' I'd love to join in. Do I get to throw bits of ciabatta at any undesirable non-professional types?

I'm surprised no one's mentioned this before. The Dolphin would be an ideal place to start and finish.

I went there for 2 years. 2 years of R'n'b, KissFM and 'urban' music to someone who hates, no DESPISES that stuff with a passion was too much. I tried, I really did.

I plan to start a gym that plays nothing but guitar music. LOUD guitar music.

Hardly a comparison - they're building across country, out lot are trying to upgrade an antiquated infrastructure through one of the most densely populated areas of Europe. I doubt you could get from the east end of Paris to the southern suburbs at 200mph.

They got rid of that old cheese

I reckon she'd be upset if she heard you call her that.

Try asking in The Railway.

Try asking around in The Railway.

...probably best to ignore my ramblings - posts after 6 or 7 pints never make much sense. I was ranting against the obsession with house prices and the totally overvalued market fuelled by programmes like this to the detriment of people who want a place to actually LIVE in. When the crash comes a lo...
