Sydenham Town Forum

I should be OK - my bollards dropped seventy years ago.

I haven't really researched this, but I believe that the large Castlebar home on Sydenham Hill is in Sydenham ward, that there is another home by Cobb's Corner and yet another towards the bottom end of Sydenham Road, just past Kwikfit on the left as you go down the hill. On the other hand I can't im...

Sorry but the threat from coronavirus has taken over from climate change.
The planet can look after itself hence inflicted this virus upon us which I predicted a year ago

'Common sense and realism'? Do explain, Angela or Parker or somebody.

I would put some money on it being related to the number of care homes in the area.

If anyone comes too close to me, I hold my breath for a moment. Should work, shouldn't it?

A lot of dog owners seem to be ignoring the advice to keep their dogs on leads in parks.

It will be interesting to see whether Chris's decision means that there will now be more traffic on this forum. Or has the iron now entered too deep into everybody's soul for there to be any reconciliation between the Chrisites and the Stuartites? Don't know, but the mush of moral equivalence is qu...

A nice volunteer from Sydenham Mutual Aid delivered our Fresh 'n' Fruity order to us this morning.

Oh no, not more of this stuff.

Sorry, John. Getting old and forgetful. Always mix you up with JRW. Robin

What in my writings has or have led you te refer to "her posts" ?

I think it is courteous to give people the benefit of the doubt if they choose to keep their first names secret. (Yes, I know Robin is a girl's name in the USA. I'm all man however and not ashamed to admit it.)

Am I the only one getting fed up with JGD hijacking threads for the purposes of her ongoing vendetta with Chris Beach? So boring and deters other people from contributing to the discussion. Could her posts not be moved to a separate thread? 'More reasons why Chris Beach is an absolute rotter' might ...

Many thanks, Stuart. It worked!

Best wishes Robin

Thanks, Stuart, I'll have a go tomorrow.

I find I can't read quoted messages in this forum using the Google Chrome browser in my desktop - the text is concealed by a dense array of thick black inverted commas. Seems OK on IE (which I also have on my desktop) and on my phone (Android); on the latter, the quoted text appears against a backgr...

Hall Lane Robin? I thought Hall Drive was the place for Sydenham's hoi polloi. Stuart You're right of course, Stuart. Sorry. My excuse is that it's a street I dream of rather than visit, and names often get a bit mixed up in dreams. But I thought its USP was that it was somewhere where you could av...

...and not have the feeling they’re going to be stabbed every time they pop to their local shops.

I've lived in Sydenham (Lewisham) for nearly forty years, and have never once had this feeling. Sorry to hear you have, Parker. Where exactly were you living at the time?

The aspirant posh who can't afford Hall Lane or the Thorpes and so have to move further out to avoid us Lewisham riff-raff, you mean?

Sorry, I lapsed into lazy stereotyping. I accept that it's quite possible to be posh without being particularly unpleasant.
