Sydenham Town Forum

I've just had yet another really good coffee at Kente - it's proving to be an excellent addition the high street. The interior design might not be to everyone's taste but it is still head and shoulders above 95% of the rest of the high street, and with a few tweaks it could be even better. So many c...

See this thread from a while back: http://sydenham.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2796&highlight=cornflakes&sid=52b283a4f17c5abd3caae9d47dcd2866 There was also that article by Graham Swift in the New York Times that someone linked to a few weeks ago that referred to Sydenham. Anyone know of an...

You have to remember that if you are called out on strike, the union cannot force you to go out, and in fact they can't impose any sort of sanction or detriment upon you if you were to do so. And for a strike to be called, this has to be voted for by members in a secret ballot - Bob Crow can't force...

I went yesterday - there are some really good stalls - well worth checking out. It was a little bit quiet, and could do with having some more stalls, but we are in the middle of the holiday season, and the market has only just started, so let's hope this does well.

Yes, he's a good writer, and nice to see the odd mention of Sydenham - there have been quite a few in the last couple of years or so. I think he's the editor at large, whatever that means, and used to be the editor. His work also pops up in the FT's Saturday magazine pull-out (don't be put off too m...

Martinc - don't worry, you can't be any worse than I am!

Would like to play again but can't next Wednesday as I'm out having curry and beers that night.

Well, unless all that dope ruins your sperm count and ruins your chance of ever having grandkids!

Put me down for next Wednesday - I should be able to make a few more games in the coming weeks.

Ha! Two-timing git!

Yes, I doubt I'm the only one who thinks that at least some of the street drinkers are refugees from Penge, so you have shunted your problem drinkers a mile down the road to us! But suppose there were restrictions like that everywhere - what would happen then?

Scott - really sorry to hear what happened to your wife and daughter. But what is the best way to tackle offenders like that? You could fine them - but that would further clog up the criminal justice system and anyway how would they pay? You could imprison them, but in the scale of things this is a ...

Yes, good idea!

Great photo Paul, but this brings back a few early traumatic memories I'd rather forget!

Profiting from a child's misery, how could you...?

Well done to all concerned - it must have been a huge effort to organise this, and I think this is a huge asset to the local community.

Bump...would be good to see peeps

That's a bit rich coming from you Ali!

Why can't the medical advice on "what to do in a heatwave" be "take the day off work and sit in the garden drinking lager"?

Thanks for a good game last Wednesday - I can't make this coming Wednesday but should be around for some future games.

If you've got it, flaunt it I say.

I have borrowed Lambchop's mankini specially for tonight!

I think your approach is broadly right - if such an event were to happen again then I suppose another option would be to to make clear that inappropriate posts will be taken down, rather than lock the thread before someone actually posts something they shouldn't. I think that excessive speeding is a...
