Even with my freeview box I still only get BBC2 OR Channel 5!

We didn't get a copy

Will have to venture to the high street and pick one up from somewhere.

Thanks for that information Poppy. Very useful

Well, I've been using Bolney Court on Laurie Park road for years and had always been very pleased with them. Although I think it depends on which dentist you see as I've not been too impressed with my most recent visits.

Thanks for that!

I hope that the proposed improvements to the store really will be improvements. I tend to go there on auto pilot and for the last few weeks each time I've said I'm not going until they're finished and then I forget. It's horrendous in there at the moment. Not good at the best of times due to the lay...

I hvae a turning right question about our high street which if someone could answer it for me I would be grateful. Do the lights next to Slatters apply to traffic going straight or turning left at the lights only or do they also apply to the right hand turn just before the lights taking you into the...

That's sad. I wonder if it will be in the local newspapers

They are still in use aren't they? I had always assumed they were in use and am pretty sure was actually told that as well but who knows when!

I've just done a quick google and NADA. The only mentions are on traffic reports. It just serves my theory that there is a conspiracy about reporting news in this part of South East London! Remember the truck incident on Sydenham High Street a few months ago? I don't want to be ghoulish about things...

On the radio yesterday it was described as a "police incident on Crystal Palace Parade"

I think you will find that the bottom end of Sydenham/Catford is actually Blackheath Borders these days and the top end is Dulwich Borders!!!!!

I like the seating in the left hand window! It's nice to go there and hide away to read the paper hwile eating/drinking

Re the exit that is always closed in Somerfield, apparently you can still use it as I heard an assistant saying to a customer the other day they would just have to push the door open. I also think Somerfield has improved over the past few months although I only pop in every now and again and it is m...

The British Gas scheme has apparently only started this week for the over 70s. Not sure about their scheme for people on benefits.

I have to wait a few years as well to be 70s but have told my grandparents who are in their 70s!

A great way to advertise!!!

I wonder how many of the Blue Mountain's customers are regulars and how many are first timers who have heard about it but then haven't returned?

I went to the Greyhound a couple of times before it was a Firkin, loads when it was a Firkin (we're talking at least 10 years ago now of course!) and then a few times post Firkin. I actually preferred it as a Firkin. Pre-Firkin I found it dingy, drab and boring although as a woman with a couple of f...

Information about the brown wheelie bin trial.

This is a scheme for the over 70s and people in receipt of certain benefits. I hadn't heard of the scheme until I read it in the papers yesterday. Here is a link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2008/jan/12/consumeraffairs1 I checked the British Gas website for more information but it doesn't mentio...
