Sydenham Town Forum

I am listing the numbers of some service people who I am recommending on a quality and trust basis, from personal experience. I am not selling their services, but am passing on details of valued tradesmen in this area. You are free to get quotations (without obligation) from these people and then de...

It's too late to post my original comments. The build-up would now destroy any comical merits, or otherwise, of my rant.

I will have to wait until a suitable build-up of humour, with the appropriate mix of irony and sarcasm surfaces again, but I'm in a particularly chilled mood this week.

My personal views on the Greyhound are as follows: Milford Homes attempt to marginalise the Sydenham Society on this forum are unwelcome. The Syd Soc, like other democratic groups, is here to represent the community. If anyone feels the Syd Soc is unrepresentative of the wider community, then join, ...

This is a wind-up? :shock: The point being (Floom) that you haven't complained.....have you? At the time of the alleged incident did you speak to the driver, or the offending pram-pushers? Did you note the reg number of the bus/time of incident and phone/write a letter of complaint to the bus compan...

isn't this the way of things to come? This has happened to all town-houses (including the one I line in!!). As a result of the change in demographics (divorce, people living longer, not gettting married, reduction in birth-rate) there is an urgent requirement for small appartment-type properties. If...

Dear MODS, please note, I am not sellng anything. Part of my job entails looking at historical maps of sites, to see what has occured in the locality over the years. There are many websites who offer this service, and doutless you are probably aware of this. However, I couldn't see this anywhere els...

deleted.

Sorry, i had a bad day at work and apologise for cluttering the message board with a non-specific rant.

Am now unwinding with a glass of wine

Apologies

Floom,..take a deep breath and relax. Some of your comments regarding aggresive cyclists were quite valid, and I know how inconvenient push-chairs can be..... But, we all have to try and live our lives. I mean, this wasn't a group of mothers who deliberately decided to get on the same bus to see how...

oooh the suspense! Can't wait for the write-up. I would just like to reiterate (sp?) that it was a hugely enjoyable evening, for both sides. Many thanks to all the organisers and participants, and many congratulations to the winners,..... who were........................? (I look forward to any futu...

I can see where Floom is coming from. I am a rural cyclist and a pedestrian when in the city, so I will try and make a reasoned and balanced comment. I have nearly been hit, i would say around 5 times by cyclists , whilst legitimately using a pedestrian crossing in Sydenham. I have also been regular...

Extra bum on seats indeed!! hope you are not referringto the homeless!!

Ref: posting by leaf. Yes i would agree that getting to Bell Green might seem an easier option from Kikdale (by bus). However, this doesn't take into account the resultant increased traffic levels at the pinch points in the area.(Cobbs Corner being a case in point) Though the delay may not prove as ...

'glad' i'm not the only one who has experienced the phantom' we called, but you were out' card. Last month my postman actually gave me the card as I met him at the front door! needless to say , a letter has gone to the manager of the sorting office, asking him to get his act together. Unfortunately,...

Not wishing this subject to become the 'lets argue with Greg' thread, but I don't think the syd socs objections were raised in oder to instigate damage limitation. Their objections were raised in order to provoke some thought into the project , rather tham a 'sod it, that'll do' approach adopted by ...

thanks for the historical correction Steve. You can tell that i should have paid more attention at school, but somewhere in the dark reccesses of my memory was a vague recollection of a woman throwing herself under a horse. The previous posts have generally specified a relutance to post would be dow...

many thanks for your support 'still_robbo'. I am just starting to find my voice, as far as sydenahm goes, but would appreciate as many opionions as possible. I think most residents would hold safety and enjoyment of the community in extremely high regard. Unfortunately, it seems to take a fatal acci...

I would consider myself a very personable/sociable individual, though normally quite introverted. Obviously i am a newcomer to this site (my 3rd Post), but it does seem a shame that we have so many visitors to the site, but not very many people posting their opinions. Emily Parkhurst (If my history ...

I was just wondering how many other signatures are intelligible. Can you make out any other famous names?, although it already looking like a bit of a priceless find. Nice One

I live in Dartmouth Road, and I have to get this issue off my chest. I will be writing to lewisham next week, but wondered if anyone else feels the same regarding the issues outlined below. I wrote to Lewisham council recently, regarding congestion and illegal/dangerous parking on Dartmouth Road dur...
