I was with them for about 5 years, I found them fine in many ways, but in the end I felt their energy charges were too high - I switched to Eon which meant I saved about a hundred pounds a year on that particular tarriff compared to UW.

No, because quite often houses were rebuilt after the war in more or less the same style as when built. A V weapon destroyed several houses in the southern part of Kent House road, but the Victorian semis were rebuilt again, and it's hard to see the join now!

I too am interested in joining a local Book Club; Maria, please PM me too and I'll see if I can make it.
Thanks

Thanks for posting those, guys. Lovely!

Good topic for a post! I'd be very interested in a reply too.

No idea, apart from unbelievable incompetence! Tried to get a train to Bromley today after failing to get on a 227 bus (both were full) but those useless b*astards Southeastern can't seem to run a bath, let alone a railway. Nothing arrived or left at Kent House between 2 and 2.45, at which point I w...

I've used D Sanderson on 83010251 for several repairs to washing machine, tumble drier and dishwasher. He's good and reasonable too.

When you shop or eat out, do you stay local or travel elsewhere? Shop - Penge Sainsbury's mostly If you go elsewhere, where do you go. Eating out - mainly, we use C Palace as there's such a good choice of restaurants there. 2nd choice - up in town, 3rd Lordship Lane How often do you eat out a week? ...

What do you mean,
"you won't get away with it anymore" ??
Is there a red light camera?

I've tried to find it on google maps' Steet View, but there's just a run of substantial Victorian semis. Is it one of those?

It amused me - they were recommending the excellent local schools - like The Charter - in Dulwich - apparently you have to live really close to the school or you have no chance of getting a place. The areas they were reviewing would have had no chance of getting in there. What can you expect, though...

Thanks Ian, it sounds just brilliant. Fingers crossed for decent weather. I hope to be there.

Sounds brilliant!
Thanks for sharing this story. With luck because of efforts like this we'll be able to get to work or wherever tomorrow.

Ok with the sausages.But how about the return of a proper wet fish shop first?
Sydenham was home to a proper wet fish vendor some years ago.

Why can't we campaign for both?
I agree - I'd prefer a wet fish shop too.

God, that advert is certainly effective.

I am sure it would work here too.

Dear Ulysses

Have a look at their website -

http://www.englishsausages.com/

they seem to have lots of recommendations. I seem to remember the Lincolnshires were pretty "ace" last time I was there.

Hope it is helpful.
They should open a Sydenham branch asap.

What do others think?

No, nothing. Did you dream it?

Ulysses wrote Unless you go everywhere by car (and I choose not to own one) Beckenham is not very convenient. There's no way of getting there by train and there is only the highly irregular 194 that goes there [?]. Otherwise it's a 45min walk each way...which I occasionally do. Or in 15 minutes you'...

There is another GBK in Beckenham, so we are surrounded.
Nevertheless it is worth us trying.

There is also a very good specialist sausage shop in Beckenham - no need to go up to Borough.

Smug b*st*rd. Doesn't he make you sick?
