Sydenham Town Forum

heheheh nice one KennyB

I wonder was it anything like the furniture shop I once saw which had the sign:

"Junk bought, antiques sold"

Thanks for the update for those of us who couldn't attend this meeting.

Really hope the high street regeneration goes ahead without delay.

Actually, the wine shop sign is correct - the shop is owned by a french man - Nicolas Bêtise.

I can believe that this is true as it has happened before, down through the years, there have been cowardly muggings, including of elderly people. I'm certainly not trying to scare monger, or say that there is a massive problem. Neither would I try to give the impression that muggings never happen h...

I don't suppose it could be *that* Enid could it??

Local connections.

Signature not dis-similar to hers...although she forms the E differently.....

Any thoughts?

Thanks Steve, interesting to know that. Not to hijack this thread, but you may be interested to know that the border contines across Trewbury / Cator Road and passes *under* the front block of Dorryn Court. So, part of each the 3 apartments on the south end of Dorryn Court is in Bromley Borough, and...

Very interesting indeed! Where was 46 Trewsbury Road? say in relation to the laneway going down to the recreation ground? was it in the 'open' space just north of that i.e. to the south of the row of victorian houses on the west side of the street, almost opposite Dorryn Court? And incidentally, was...

Fantastic! Love it!

Sugahill looks very good, and the video is very slick - I assume you are professional at video production?

Looking forward to more - could be a great feature of the sydenham website to link to more of these.

Thanks for taking the time to do this and for sharing it.

Phew - disaster has been averted - thank the beer gods for that :-) Now, will all those who were worried the GL was going to be changed into a gastro pub / cocktail bar / yuppie pub / disco bar please start / continue spending some money in there to ensure it remains viable in its present form for m...

Prob ripping it out to get people to come inside and spend money there instead of going to the Dolphin. The landlord Joe is no fool, so you may be sure he is not spending money on a refurb unless he expects it to help him retain or increase trade. Like every other business in the street, it's a case...

fast food junkies heaven = yes really rough = no What street are you considering? Like everywhere Syd has good and bad. I reckon Syd is reasonably safe, but depends whether you think you can / should be able to walk around after dark / with a few bevvies on / both of the above. Not too many places i...

castiron73, you don't ask for much ;-) but seriously, its a very interesting post. Love the fact that you praise the good and then set out your wish list. I also LOVE the idea of the town square - hats off to you for having that idea. It would give a great focal point to the street. Of course there ...

Sorry, probably my fault. Just my silly sense of humour. It all started with me pedantically satirising the idea that 3 wheel buggies are inherently bad. Then my reply to the Delboy reference, which might have gone over Thomas' head. Hence the tumbleweed. Hmmmmm - maybe would be better if I hadn't s...

*..............*............*...........*......................*

Wonder do they serve Beaujolais Nouveau in the BMC?

3 wheels bad

4 wheels good (presumably)

I was going to write up my opinion on this - but I pretty much 100% agree with Admin's write up. Just to add: 1. There is nothing to be gained by pretending all is perfect in a business if it is not even coming close - Emperor's New Clothes syndrome. People are not stupid and if you try to mislead t...

Hi Nasaroc

Do you have any more info on this 2 million to be spent on the high street please?

Is this following on from the living streets exercise which we took part in last year?

Do you or anyone have any links to the plans for the high street please?

Many thanks!

I agree with others that the personal remarks made about the Londis people are despicable. If you look at the profile of the OP (tongue_in_cheque) and check all previous postings, you will see that most of them are pretty non-constructive in nature (to put it mildly), and some are downright offensiv...

Nasaroc I agree that we should all exercise restraint and fair-play when talking about new businesses - every business will have teething problems and that is fair enough. It's good to bear that in mind before laying into them with criticism on this forum, good point well made. Having said that, I s...
