Re: Very bad signal in Sydenham?!

I always assumed it was CP. Live in Byne Road and we barely get signal and seem to lose it every time a plane goes overhead - thankfully planes over Sydenham are a rare occurrence :roll:

Re: NEW OPENINGS, NEW CLOSINGS

And in all the excitement of the new openings (On The Hoof and new cafe) we forgot all about the new mobile phone shack that has been carved out of the corner of the Costcutter up by Newlands Park. Before you enjoy a delicious meal why not take some time to have your phone unlocked, buy a Lyca sim o...

Perhaps it is just my perception as a recent immigrant to SE26 from the depths of Kent and no longer driving everywhere but I cannot help but notice the level of animal by-product on the streets. My journey to the station is a vertiable assault course of excrement...or excitement if my shoes happen ...

Depends on ATM but over 30 seconds and the ATM gets anxious and wants to take it back usually. So assuming this is what happened the ATM will be over when...
