A deli in Sydenham?!

watch out folks - there'll be a Waitrose any time soon!

this would explain the tooting, and long line of cars there yesterday evening then. With such little traffic, they're probably on a sensor for that section, which if broken would explain why that lights are still working, yet not turning green for Mayow Rd. All traffic lights in London are put in an...

whatever the reason, it's in zone 1, and that then stops people buying a zonal traval card which excludes zone 1, for travelling from south/south east London to Hackney. When the London Overground lines are all completed and there is a circular rail link outside of central London, you'll still need ...

hmmm, let me see....

two door keys, a yale, and a standard long nose stubby one, a bike lock key, a padlock key, and a poker chip from Las Vegas.

... clearly I was joking! If I knew exactly where and when I'd dropped them, they wouldn't be lost!

Didn't think I could let the 5 a side footie be the only thread in the sports centre, so thought I'd ask if anyone knows where I can play badminton near here? I know there's a club at Forest Hill boys school on a Tuesday night, but I can't make that. any other places? times? dates? people? Thanks Jo...

a 20 mile radius is a bit large an area not to have any police stations in (especially in London!) - are you sure you've got accurate information there?

.... - p.s. I dropped my keys outside the cake shop on Saturday - maybe they're mine?

I used this line yesterday over the four northern stops - Dalston, Haggerston, Hoxton, and Shoreditch High St, as part of my work, and it is amazing what you can see from the train line that high up. I also used it this morning to commute from FH to Dalston, and my journey was reduced from over an h...

I think that was a very good first post - he had a point to make, and made it well. Clearly this issue is important to Kenny. calling him a troll is a bit much don't you think?

I saw you handing out leaflets on Saturday on the high st. I'd have stopped for a chat, if I hadn't been busy doing important stuff.

I thought that they'd be open today, but the oyster readers are still covered at NCG. I've heard from my 'source' that there were problems with the CCTV inside the trains. They are now not going to issue start dates, but just start once all the problems and snagging are sorted. so it'll start when i...

very good answers - if I was voting in your area, you might have got my vote.

I may think of more questions to ask you at a later date.
For some reason lots of people are against UKIP, and I'm not entirely sure why.

I've just heard the same thing - looks like it'll be Monday now.

I have it on reasonably good authority that trains will start running with paying customers on from Thursday, probably not first thing though, NCG to Dalston, filtering in further south from May 23rd with the new timetable. so I may get the ELL home from work tomorrow. I'll be looking out for the un...

if, lets say only 40% of the population bother to vote, and only 40% of those vote labour and they get in - that implies that only 16% of the population voted for the party that currently governs the country! This I find intollerable, and something that so many people don't care about. my personal o...

that's a good reply - so what you're saying is that if we were to pull out of the EU, we could pay farmers what they currently get from CAP, and still have money left over. Would you then give some of that 'spare' money to farmers? Most farmers work such long hours, 7 days a week, that they are in f...

Interestingly, the Labour council in Hackney have frozen council tax rises for five years running - just a point, neither here nor there. on housing - would the council consider buying back houses from those people who are struggling with their mortgage payments, or are in arears, and then housing t...

I've just had an idea - an electrified mesh wire fence.

put it along the gaps where said pesky rodents get in - 50,000 volts, and KZEEERT! crispy fried rat - others will be detered afterwards too.

... hmm maybe this could constitute a fire hazard inside, but outside, why not?

so you'd have a referndum on something, and the result be a binding official thing that the government had to enforce, and make policy, if over 5% of the population sign a petition to do so, but actually only on those things that wouldn't affect the normal day to day running of the country. you'd ha...

Peter, The Common Agricultural Policy is part of the EU (according to Wikipedia, it accounts for 48% of the EU budget!). CAP pays farmers grants and subsidies, for planting certain crops, for leaving land set aside, for having larger field boundaries to allow diverse wildlife, and lots of other thin...

This morning I saw a fox out of the kitchen window, eating from a pile of dropped food - I thought it was put out by someone, but later realised, by the further mess down the road, that it was debris dropped by the useless bin men - anyway, I filmed said fox on my mobile for just over a minute (this...
