Re: Sydenham will be moving to Frankfurt tonight ...

I was wondering why Internet Explorer 8 was suddenly reporting a security issue. I just ignored it :)

Oh, and Firefox doesn't like it, either.

75 and 194 buses on diversion

Up through Penge High Street and down Lawrie Park Road and back onto normal route at Sydenham station, due to a water leak on Newlands Park between Homecroft and Tredown. Should be back to normal by tomorrow morning in time for the rush hour.

Penge Jumble Trail, 21st June

Haven't had time to research this much, but signs are appearing all round the Penge end of Sydenham mentioning this event on Sunday: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22penge+jumble+trail%22&hl=en&gws_rd=ssl&oq=%22penge+jumble+trail%22&gs_l=heirloom-serp.3...41485.43703.0.44360.2.2....

Re: Hyde Housing are awful

Hyde have a bit on their website where you can report antisocial behaviour, etc., BTW - I just don't know whether they do anything about it. We've been having some correspondence with them about another property which is historically one of theirs, and people working on it say it's one of theirs, bu...

Re: Station approach - new toilet

Presumably RADAR system is the disabled toilet access system? Don't like these "community toilet" schemes. You probably know they've got them all over Penge now, which is fine, *if* the relevant building happens to be open at the time. For example, on Sundays when Sainsbury's is only legal...

Re: Sydenham High St Stabbing

Horrible - ghastly for his family and loved ones. I hope they do catch all the perpetrators, and that justice is done. I hope justice will start with appropriate offences. Being charged with "for grievous bodily harm with intent" does not seem right. If you stab someone it should be at le...

Re: How to dispose of small dead electrical items

Thanks alywin. I was thinking maybe that site, being close enough, but I'm a resident of Lewisham rather than Bromley so would they just turn me away or expect me to have bought an out-of-borough permit? (As you correctly surmise, I'd be on foot.) I've never been asked for a permit when I've gone i...

Exterior decorator recommendation?

Our usual decorator/handyman is no longer able to cope with tall ladders, so I'm wondering if anyone can recommend someone who does exterior painting? It would be at first-floor level.

Oh, and if he did pointing as well that would be brilliant :)

Thanks very much.

Re: How to dispose of small dead electrical items

Mosy, I don't know where you are, but Bromley's dump in Churchfields is only a short walk from the 194 bus route, if that's any use. (Or if you can walk into Penge and pick up the 354 it takes you past the entrance)

Re: Southend Lane - Lower Sydenham Bridge

Incidentally, I see that *yesterday's* "incident" was caused by a bridge being struck in Eden Park. No idea which one, but it makes a change.

Well, according to the front page of the Daily Mail last Saturday, we know who was responsible - their readers.

Re: Blue distant hills

If ever you're over in Anerley, the one looking down Elmers End Road from the "Robin Hood" (or rather, where the Robin Hood used to was before it turned into Aldi :( ) is pretty good on the long-sight muscles, too!

Re: Packing and removals service

Yes, Casey's seem pretty reasonable. Sorry about your sale - if you do have to put things into storage while you rent, though, I'd very much recommend doing it through a removals company rather than one of those 24/7 self-store places. It can work out very expensive, especially if it takes you a lot...

Re: Fox Cubs -Sydenham Road / Newlands Park

All I can say is that I hope you don't have anyone anywhere in the vicinity who leaves unsecured bags of soiled nappies around, otherwise you may find your attitude to the cute cubs changing rather rapidly (she says from experience).

They were :) See https://sydenham.org.uk/forum/viewtopic ... ead#unread

Have all the diversions cleared yet? The LP Road bus stop was still out of action when I went to Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
