There is an interesting little wrinkle about collecting/pamphleting by Sydenham Station, At the time of the election for Mayor of London my wife was promoting Ken, and I was there to show solidarity (which, since I am a reluctant but resolute Tory, was very noble of me).

Stuart - I regret to say that I have, by and large, to agree with you. A speed limit by itself does not enforce 100% compliance, but aggressive humps do a pretty good job. Nevertheless I would be in favour of introducing residential 20mph zones even without traffic calming measures. A significant pr...

I am in favour of it. The consolidated report about 20-mph zones published recently was positive about the benefits in terms of reduced deaths and serious injuries to pedestrians and cyclists, and the zones do improve the quality of life for those living within them. There has been an argument, prom...

I have used Freecycle a lot since we moved to Sydenham (mostly the Croydon group) since we are so short of space that buying anything new means throwing something else out, and it has proved a very successful method of moving usable goods on to a new home. The effectiveness of the system would be re...

Admin When the upgrade came, and things were worse, I tried applying the latest router firmware version. It made no difference, and was a real pain to apply since I have a lot of port and other configuration to support my rather complex system here, and that had to be re-applied from scratch. It tur...

Chris - I had exactly the same symptoms on re-grade. The uplink increased but the downlink stayed at 7616Kbps. This was because although my modem was in multimode - that did not include ADSL2+.
