Re: RUMOURS: CINEMA AND NANDOS COMING TO SYDENHAM
Incredible that obesity is one of the issues being considered here. Is this n issue whenever food is sold? The chicken is not even fried at Nando's, unlike in the countless chicken shops. Incredible it's about takeaways when, as I understand it, they were not even mentioned in the planning applicati...

Re: Windmill Victory
I consider pubs to be mainly male spaces and therefore, as a woman, would prefer less stress on pubs when there are so many.
I would not go to a pub by myself but would go to a café or similar space.

Re: Windmill Victory
The Asset of Community Value status lapsed in 2016 so it does not have to be a pub. This information is in the Council report linked to above.

Re: Windmill Victory
I have no particular desire for it to be a pub -- there are two pubs within spitting distance already -- but it should be something, and not empty and deteriorating.

Re: Windmill Victory
Yes, I would like to know what was intended for the Windmill site and why it was opposed some kind of business needs to open here. It does not yave to be a pub. It needs to be not a run-down, ratty, closed building. Between this and the building to its left where it seems no businesses have ever bee...

Fig and Pistachio closing
Very sorry to have to report that the French cafe Fig and Pistachio on Kirkdale is having to close on 21 July. The owner, Isabelle, reports that the landlord wants the property for another purpose. This is a great shame, as the cafe was a wonderful addition to that run of shops and had excellent cof...

Re: Proposed new SE26.life forum
Thanks, Stuart, that does explain things. I wonder if Chris Beach understood the administrative structure of this board? Until Robin started the thread there was no mention of the proposals on this board. It could be that it appeared all was now public.
I hope this can all be resolved amicably.

Re: Proposed new SE26.life forum
I agree the thread is depressing but am not sure why Stuart was so hostile to Chris Beach for his initial posting when CB did not start the thread. Why was it a breach of confidence or civility for him to introduce himself? As I said, I hold no brief for SE23.life and have never met anyone concerned...

Re: Proposed new SE26.life forum
I am very peripheral to SE23.life so really can't speak for the forum, but I don't think the people there want to nit mention other forums -- they just feel the need to be polite if this was the request. But I don't think bringing "forum wars" to Sydenham is what Chris had in mind. He is a...

Re: Proposed new SE26.life forum
As I understand it, the owner of SE23.com does not permit mention of SE23.life on his forum and has requested that people on SE23.life not mention his forum. So if there is such a rule on SE23.life, it is in an attempt to be obliging to the owner of the other forum. I think you are over-interpreting...

Re: Proposed new SE26.life forum
I agree with Rachael. I don't agree with Chris' politics but he does not force this on members. I simply have not opted in to the Politicos section. I am a member of all the forums concerned (SE23.com, SE23.life, and this forum). SE23.life has done a lot of good so far in getting people together, pr...

The waffle place is now open. Have not tried it yet. It has hamburgers, hot dogs, and waffles and other sweet desserts.

Re: postal deliveries
Wow, cidersioux, that is appalling. I suggest you phone Royal Mail complaints and tell them about this problem and what you were told. If enough of us complain maybe something will be done.

Re: postal deliveries
We have had to complain repeatedly about post not coming, coming only on clumps, and not being put in the letterbox. The Royal Mail take it seriously and have a record of my previous complaints, but it has not resulted in any improvement.
