Sydenham Town Forum

Take no notice Postman this forum is full of petty minded and self centred folk who have no idea of the bigger picture. This weather is bringing them to the fore. Clear the paths or pavements themselves to make things easier for those who work in it all? oh dear me no shouldn't the council have sent...

If wittering on about what the postman did or did not do on your garden path, or worrying about a non or late delivery of mail is all some of you have to worry about then you need to get a life. Then again you could walk to the sorting office and ask for it perhaps. Really its not that bad and nowhe...

I realise I am a thick old reactionary, and a bit dim but could someone please reconcil these passionate discussions about supermarkets with the other posts complaining about lack of/quality of /variety of shops on Sydenham High Street? Or even the one welcoming Tesco to Kirkdale? Surely the use of ...

The human rights act. An excellent idea, even as someone of right wing opinion[I'm entitled] every one on this planet has a right to a decent peaceful life. Sadly it is abused by politicians, "do gooders", the loony left, oppurtunist lawyers, and many others and yes criminals. The "ma...

My post was meant to convey a degree of irony, hence the sentence, "At least thats the way its perceived by the bloke in the street" as for "however, to suggest that you will go to jail if you defend yourself against an attacker is complete crap" Now its you talking crap; As I kn...

It contravenes the human rights of scumbags to rape assault murder steal as it deprives them of the means to earn a living. This is proven by the number of cases where a person has been prosecuted for defending them selves or their kin or property. At least thats the way its perceived by the bloke i...

Its been going on for years this throwing away of small change; is it because money is, for people of a certain age group far too easy to come by? or is it because of our debased coinage? When I was a kid, well up to 1946, all silver coins were 50% silver, now our Copper coins are so worthless, that...

Please tell which streets you walk down in order to pick up folding money?

Seem to me that Annie has her tabard washed and ironed in readiness for a job at Tesco

fresh manure emits ammonia, it will kill most green things;it should be properly stacked and weathered for 6 months to be of benefit.

Tesco PLC is a steamroller, it will get its way and do what ever it wants. The only solution is never ever to use them, lack of profit is the only thing they understand. More than enough has been written elsewhere about the business tactics and shady dealings of this dodgy company. Look it up. I fea...

The point is that these small shops disapeared because of lack of support by the locals who thought it was great they could get food cheaper; they did but now, as all us weary willies and cassandras forecast, they have you over a barrel. Like the HSBC idea, you need to put your money where your mout...

With the price of a decent size bit of cod going ever upwards with a restricted supply, I suspect its more profit to sell bits of mechanically recovered meat from chickens imported from Thailand or Venezuela. Besides which, the sort of people that consume this muck are the sort that don't care as lo...

Pay for horse sh**!!!!!
Why I can remember the milk and bread being delivered by horse and cart didn't have to buy it then, and another thing I zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

No good if its got sawdust/wood shavings in it, and it needs to have been stacked for at least six months anyway.

Also you need to be sure its not just all B/S

Manchester for a pint? The best kept beer I ever drunk was at the pub at Cowden Pound, south of Westerham called Annies, can't remember its real name. An old lady 80 ish and a dog ran it, had the license from her Mum. Every pint drawn from the cask by hand from the cellar. A sign by the door said no...

Of course I exist daahling!!!!!!
who else writes this stuff?
Eaterie is THE in word amongst we lunch crowd sophisticates.

I think that your beer dulled brain has missed the joke somewhat?

now wheres the teapot?

If there is a club next door to the library, then its not one worth belonging to. For a tenner,about 3 pints? you can get a day pass to view the inside of one of Londons gems. It will, however, take you more than a day to master the unique filing system and find your way around the stacks. Sadly, th...
