I would love to support Billings but I don't like fish. What else do they do?

Indeed.

I wanted to speak to her a bit more to make sure she was ok but the dog just kept trying to get out of her arms so I said just get the dog home.

Just a word about the Jack Russell that was running in and out of Crystal Palace Park and into the road Wednesday evening. A few of us failed to catch the speedy little dog and she nearly got herself run over many times in Crystal Palace Park Road. I believe 2 cars even collided trying to avoid her....

There may have been a partridge in the pear tree too.

Does anyone know what happened the other week at Torrington Court at the top of Crystal Palace Park Road?

The were half a dozen police cars, 3 fire engines and 3 ambulances outside half the night. Also, everyone had been evacuated from the building.

Bensonby, are you able to elaborate on what happened at Torrington Court?

Last week there was a gas leak at a building at the top of Crystal Palace Park Road which involved, at the very least 6 police cars, 3 fire engines and 3 ambulances. Most of the police stood around for hours chatting in front of the building with the evacuated residents. It couldn't have been that s...

As usual-anyone trying to help-Bensonby knows better.....

Thanks Simon. Nasty indeed.

I've never seen any trouble around the estates round Seeley rd and had assumed it was fairly free of the crap that seems to blight many of the South London Estates.

Not a good development.

It's just the way your comments come across sometimes. That's the problem with forums, emails and messaging. It's very difficult to determine the tone of a message. :) Turns out it was some some of yoof altercation and someone got slashed with a bottle. Still lots of bobbies around speaking to peopl...

....or where did I leave my phone?

....meaning of life??

Always answer a question with a question. You're an odd fella bensonby ( or lady...I don't want to assume)

What is wrong with you bensonby? Always 'Why did you do that?' , 'Why didn't you do that?'....

I did ask but he said that he couldn't comment.

...also this morning the path from Sydenham Hill station up to the Post Office was taped off and manned by a policeman.

Anyone know why the whole of the square where Seeley Road Post Office is has been cordoned off by the police?

No wonder the train I got (the one after that) was even more rammed than usual.

You couldn't make it up.

Cheers Bovine. I might try that.

I wonder why SouthEastern coudn't tell me that. I made a complaint and I got a load of standard waffle about nothing really. They are a joke

On a similar note for another Sydenham line, does anyone know how the former reliable service from Sydenham Hill to Victoria on which you could always get a seat has, since the timetable change at Christmas, turned into a oft cancelled cattle truck, that by the time it gets to Herne Hill is so packe...

It doesn't seem strange to me. What I find strange is why bensonby considers it so strange.
