Re: Sockpuppets on t'other forum

I've just had an email telling me that I've been banned for 12 months from that other place for slander against another member. So he's clearly still active, and doing what he does. I don't know why I'm bothered, I moved out of the area 18 months ago,but then again CB left the area a lot longer ago.

wow - that's really quite something. he's continuing the lies, maybe he really does believe what he's saying. he mentions police involvement again - it didn't happen. he mentions that Stuart Grove is the admin on here. he isn't. he mentions emails and harrasement - yes, that happened, but was the ot...

Re: Better to order direct from local takeways...

I always order Chinese from my local take away, which is 60 seconds down the road (30 seconds further than the pub), and I ring them up beforehand to place my order for a specific time, long enough away to let me drink a pint on the way.

Re: New Aldi approved in Bell Green

The Forest Hill Mural - if I'm not mistaken, was on the bridge under the railway, yes?
that road is the south circular, and is TfL road, so road owner - TfL, Bridge owner - Network Rail - therefore actually nothing to do with Lewisham at all, at the end of the day, they had little ability to say no.

Re: Dodgy CD?

I've looked at other CDs, and the one thing in common is that they all usually have quite a bit of text on them, copyright stuff, and the name of the album, etc. so I'm leaning towards this being a moody copy.

Dodgy CD?

I have a question for anyone who knows anything about CDs? (and/or Alanis Morissette) I found a CD under a floorboard. it plays fine. on the coloured side is a nice image of what could be flames or hair, orange/red on a blue background, with white lettering 522. nothing else text wise on that side. ...

Re: Mayow road/Sydenham road crossing.

I think the rules are fairly clear.

if there is a central island it counts as two crossings. If it's staggered it counts as two crossings.

Re: Been to The Greyhound yet?

Re: Should Mayo Road have controlled parking?

anyone operating a business on the public highway needs to have a licence to do so. so for instance a cafe that has seats outside, needs a licence, and if the licence is granted then they can do that. I would find it hard to imagine that Lewisham Council would have granted a licence for someone to r...

Re: Should Mayo Road have controlled parking?

In an ideal world, all roads should be patrolled by parking enforcement officers, who should ticket illegally parked vehicles (double yellow parking, etc) . But what is normally the case is that only CPZs are patrolled, as they are greatest revenue producers. Take photos of offending (offensive?) ve...

After 8 ish years in Sydenham, we have moved out of the area, to Norwich. We were lucky that we bought our house before the Overground reopened, so our house value increased by a lot in 7 years. In Norwich we've got more house for less money. Visiting this forum has been fun, and I've made some good...

a bump to this thread as we've had a few people leave, so if anyone wants to join a friendly local book group please do turn up.
we meet once a month on the last Wednesday, from 7.30pm in The Golden Lion. This month (next week in fact) we will be discussing 'How To measure a Cow' by Margaret Forster.

Re: How Cobbs Corner is changing

both the golden lion and the dolphin have outdoor seating front and back now, so the only reason to sit outside on the road side would be if you wanted, or didn't want, the sun, depending on time of day.
most people wouldn't want to sit next to the main road though.
