I'll keep an eye out. Your picture link does not work though, facebook says the link has expired or may not be a public image (you may have your FB settings on friends only or something).

Edit: Image now available.

Re: #RebuildTheGreyhound - pub to be rebuilt by April 2015?

Well yes, I would rate Nando's as a step down from your average Chicken Jerk except it would be me who was spit roasted by some family members. I'll whisper this very quietly but a part of me would not be unhappy if it became a Nandos. For the simple reason that ... I'm a parent. And branches of Na...

Re: Cat owners urged to keep them indoors

Thankfully I have a cat that is too upper class to mingle and does not go out. It may have something to do with living on the 1st floor.... It's a long way down hahaha.

I didn't notice anything though I retired to bed just before midnight and thankfully my bedroom is at the back of the flat on the opposite side of where the noise usually comes from.

Re: #RebuildTheGreyhound - pub to be rebuilt by April 2015?

I've never understood the mania in Britain for chains (even small chains). How about something truly wonderful, the model for which we have never encountered before? Of course the high rents charged will probably preclude it, but it is so depressing hearing how many plasticized replications are on ...

I do hope those Greyhounds are secured to the plinths very tightly or they will end up in someone's back garden before they even open for buisness.

Re: #RebuildTheGreyhound - pub to be rebuilt by April 2015?

How interesting. I'd have thought that limited delivery access to the pub would be a greater concern. (Not that I know anything about how that is intended to be possible.) Most pubs have their beer delivery once a week and if they are in a high traffic area, it is usually at the crack of the sparro...

Re: #RebuildTheGreyhound - pub to be rebuilt by April 2015?

Couldn't you say that about any accommodation located on a high street. Would have thought traffic noise would be more of an issue. As someone who lives opposite, Yes, if we can handle the traffic noise (motorbikes, emergency vehicles, road rage) I doubt that the pub will be too much of an issue. M...

Re: Blocking Adverts on this site

I'm not seeing any adverts if that nature on my android. Whilst an app like adblock plus will likely hide them for you Mary you may also want to download a security app to scan your phone for anything malicious.

Re: LA Fitness Sydenham becomes Pure Gym

Not used one. Membership looks like it might be quite cheap. Overall I'm disappointed however because, having just moved to the area, I was going to join LA Fitness almost exclusively for its swimming pool. Swimming's my main thing and it would have been a lot more convenient for me than going to B...
