Sydenham Town Forum

Given that I had to change my working hours to suit the fact I'm not a morning person (rather than constantly get into trouble for being late), I really have no right to tell people to get up a couple of minutes early. :lol: And it was a tongue in cheek comment, I didn't mean for it to be taken seri...

I stand corrected

It appears Forest Hill has a bit of gambling problem seeing they have the most bookies

but the side gate will be closed for 8 weeks i think from next week as they're installing ticket barriers there Argghh! I was dreading when they'd have to do this (and was somewhat naively hoping that they wouldn't have to block access). This means for me 2 months of being late for work everyday an...

Minifox, exactly! I grew up in one of the worse areas of my home town and we had one bookie in our High Street. Yes, 1!! Why Sydenham needs 3 baffles me. The existing ones don't seem to be over-run with their business. But what do I know, I never ever been in a bookies in my entire life (apart from ...

Fabulous, and I mean it this time. Crystal Palace is within reasonable walking distance from where I live so thank you very much for letting me know.

You're the best Barty

Now that's a concept I like

Fabulous :roll: I saw the announcement roll pass on the platform board this morning. Just what I needed on this busy Bank Holiday weekend. Never mind I have a couple of good books to keep me amused during my lengthy bus journeys on both days, plus a stock of extra strong coffee for the early morning...

Let the bookies open and let the Sydenham residents dictate its success. At the end of the day it's only a very small percentage of Sydenhamites that post here and we don't truly represent Sydenham. My opinion is based on my experience of having a gambling addict in the family. So I don't like gambl...

I'm one of the "young" professionals that recently to moved to the area 'coz of the ease of travelling into work (well, maybe not so young anymore & my boss would argue the professional part as well :lol: ). Sydenham is only 20 mins away from my work. I generally avoid the "High S...

Yeah I have problem with postmen's (or post people's to be more pc) trolleys chain to lamp posts. Actually I'm more baffled by it than it being a problem. It's a regular occurance down Silverdale. They appear to get locked up for weeks rather than the odd night, which I find baffling. Surely the pos...

Hi Eagle I was working from home this morning, hence my late rising. I'm usually up before that time during the week. I was slightly annoyed because I was looking forward to my sleep in. But one of the workers had his shirt off this morning and has a good body so that made up for it. :lol: Take care...

TimA - even if there was a Merivale in London Town, Sydenham will always be the place to be no matter where in the world you are

This is really fabulous news that Mayow Park has funding - I love that park esp since my flat over looks it. But do they have to start the work in the early hours of the morning!?! :roll: I don't mind being woken up to the sound of children playing but loud construction work? A girl needs her beauty...

I grew up in Sydenham, Christchurch, NZ and I now live in Sydenham, London!! How about that for coincidence
