Re: Flu-Jabs @ Sydenham Green now Covid test compatible
OH and I are getting ours on Saturday at the Lloyds Pharmacy in Sainsburys. Booked online. They had a plethora of appointments available from Friday onwards.

You can also deflate them and recycle with plastic bags at larger supermarkets.

Re: Covid-19 Failure
My son went to a Spoons on Thursday to mark A-level results day. He left almost immediately and came home. It was packed, with a queue out the door. Even a 19 year-old hoping for a well-deserved night out with his mates could see it was a shit show and not worth the risk.
Re: Masks
We're not going out that much but when we do we're putting our masks on when we're out on the high street and also inside shops. Taking them off when we get to to Mayow Park, seems silly given the amount of space between everyone. Be careful how you use the mask - you shouldn’t take it off until yo...
Re: Masks
If you are buying masks, please have a look on Etsy. There are a lot of home sewers diverting their small businesses from making other textiles to producing masks. Worth supporting, IMO. I have bought several cotton and linen masks from different sellers on Etsy and they’ve all been great. Have at l...

That explains why my dishwasher, which runs on a timer in the wee hours, had thrown up an inlet fault message overnight.

Re: Power Issues at Bell Green Retail Park
UK Power Networks are reporting a cable fault affecting some SE26 postcodes earlier in the evening and restored power shortly after the time of our blip (we had the same brief outage on Mayow Road). Maybe someone flipped the wrong switch.

Re: Power Issues at Bell Green Retail Park
The question, it seems to me, is who is at fault if the retail park cannot provide sufficient and reliable power supply to Aldi? Were Aldi in full possession of all the facts when they took on the unit and knew they were have to use back-up generators? I can't imagine they ever wanted to have to bui...

Re: Power Issues at Bell Green Retail Park
This masks the real issue with our Bell Green supermarkets. Both Aldi & SavaCentre are chilly. Made chilly by rows and rows of chilling cabinets presumably being counteracted by heating to stop us customers and staff being reduced to the same temperature. This 24/7/366. An appalling drain on an...

Re: Power Issues at Bell Green Retail Park
I was in Sainsbury’s in December when the power went out and we were all shepherded out.
We live very close to Bell Green and have had some odd flickerings in the last past month, and a complete outage for about 2 minutes a few weeks ago.

Re: Christmas lights
Couldn’t agree more. It’s amazing what a simple change can achieve. Congrats to everyone involved in achieving this. A small group of us tried to get some momentum behind getting new lights when the road was being refurbished but ran out of steam before we achieved anything.

Re: Black cabbies in celebration.....
They’ll still be operating while appealing the decision. I’m a big fan of Uber for convenience, cost and what I perceived as better safety, and it’s local mini cabs rather than black taxis that have lost my trade to Uber. However, the breaches outlined in the ruling make me genuinely concerned for m...

Re: New small coffee shop inside Dragonfly Yoga
Before it opened, the person behind it, in a desperate attempt to get publicity, said in the News Shopper that having a yoga studio in Sydenham would help tackle knife crime, adding for good measure that Sydenham had a lot of gangs. Oh, really. Yeah, but no. All the profits from the two Dragonfly y...

Re: Replacing windows
We replaced our rotting wooden sashes with double-glazed made-to-measure wooden sashes with Victorian detailing. You can't tell they are double glazed to look at them. They also have draught-proofing brushes built into the frames. We're very happy with them and they look the business.
