Volunteers needed at Sydenham Community Library, to help people find books, to enrol new readers, and to help keep the place staffed. If you like working with the public, or reading, you can join a group of friendly volunteers, for two hours or more, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays or Satur...

No, Remain supporters are not "bad losers" - we just believe in UK being in the EU and (as a result) the UK remaining as one country and not splintering up. Would you have said that the Suffragettes were "bad losers" too, when their proposals were voted down by parliament?* No, o...

We are open, by the way, from 0930-1700 on Mondays and Saturdays; 0930-1900 on Tuesday and Thursdays. But it has been a bit of struggle lately to staff Saturd...

I am afraid this group is now full.
The reason it is so reasonable is because it is being subsidised by the Sydenham Assembly.

Hi Mosy

monkeyarms commented at the risk of sending this thread slightly away from the original request, has anyone ever tried the mens hairdressers on Kent House Rd? Can't remember what it's called, but I drive past it frequently and it looks like they've at least put some effort into the presentation of t...
