Sydenham Town Forum

Never been a fan of Subway. It has nothing to do with the fast food rep, I just find the salt content too high to forgive.

So far I've only met Nasaroc, Mr Ben, Pat Trembath and Tim Lund campaigning in regards of awareness for the coming regeneration of the High Street. DigitalFX at a bus stop on Westwood hill and Mikecg in the East Dulwich Tavern. I've yet to formally force myself upon the veritable Grindles. Your time...

Surely you'd have a more focused media response if you chucked the coffin on the rails themselves and stood by whilst horrified passengers watched as the 12:48 smashed it to pieces.

You could label that particular pastiche "Divided platforms" or something similar.

There's a live band playing at the moment and they're very good. Far more preferable to the kids who shriek up a cacophony of ringtones and allied nonsense.

The 60 year old rapper is a bit embarressing though.

Over the last few weeks I keep seeing Steve Grindley out and about in Forest Hill and Sydenham. Naturally there's nothing untoward in this, it's in his business/nature to be plodding about the parish, but the thought occured to me. Does anybody wave at Steve? I've started to pioneer this dying art o...

HA HA!! Very good Pat. good to see that the societies still foster a sense of humour. I promise I be there to show support if you then take the ashes of this friend soon to pass, to the next facedown with Southern. Tell them he died before his time. After many delays of course. Then, lets all go and...

Oh how I miss the Woodhouse of yesteryear, well, yester-decade in any case. During my childhood the Woodhouse was my fathers refuge from three demanding boys. We'd sometimes join him to watch the cricket and would be allowed to run wild in the garden without even the slightest of scowls from other p...

Michael. Please get your facts straight. I left the se23.com forum for the same reason so many others did. It's boring and run by an utter control freak who sent me baffling messages on the morality of mentioning shops by their trading name, even WHSmiths. I've been slung off the EDF until the new y...

Can't we just call it what it is, the "Pikey shack".

What happened to just tossing a coin? Head is Eliot bank. Tails it's Adams Reel.

Simple.

Southern are ..... The sooner people realise that these people don't want to reason with you, the sooner Sydenhams blood pressure will ease.

Whilst walking around Sydenham and Forest hill as well as other parts of the borough my attention has been drawn to the street signs denoting what the street is called. The reason being is because I've noticed a puzzling anomaly in a handful of the signs text. On some signs (see Jews walk or Chesema...

Grauniad eh Admin. Does this possibly mean that I've got another Private Eye reader in my midst.

I bloody well hope so.

Up in Forest Hill near the library everyones got a Ladybird infestation. Is the same thing happening in other parts as well?

Ha ha. Sorry for not being able to help you but I've lived in the area all my life and I've always wondered how to pronounce it and have been meaning to post it on the forum or indeed, ask someone. Thanks for beating me to it and I look forward to a genuine reply. Steve Grindley should be along shor...

Thanks for confirming my suspicions Norwich Girl.

Yesterday afternoon two young offenders attempted to hold up Londis in upper Sydenham. They demanded cash from the till but the cashier couldn't (or wouldn't) open it. He was pistol whipped in the eye. He will recover but the experience will undoubtably stay with him for a while to come. The offende...

Apart from my all to often sneering comments I can't help but heap praise on the Woodman. I was a little hesitant on their re-opening/branding and they had this bizzare policy of not accepting card payments following the re-launch but that is now thankfully a thing of the past. I have enjoyed their ...

I was on Sydenham Hill yesterday and I was caught short. On seeking an appropriate bush to deposit my ablutions and I stumbled upon something I never knew existed. I discovered a previously unknown short cut. Now I've lived in Forest Hill and Sydenham all my life and consider myself pretty savvy con...

"I presume you wont be making a contribution BBW"

Bingo.

"It is just a shame we here in Sydenham have to put up with your unpleasant asides."

I try my best.
