Re: Penge attempted robbery

Hopefully the risks of engaging in this sort of activity might be a deterrent.

Re: Penge attempted robbery

And another one filmed in Lewisham a couple of weeks ago. Somebody will ram these idiots right off their bikes and into a neighboring borough some day. Do we assume that the bikes weren't stolen as the registration numbers were clearly visible in this case? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfJ9G4eXksE

Penge attempted robbery

Events caught on a mobile phone in Penge last night, thugs attempted to pull a man from his moped and steal it, the brave intervention of a few passers-by prevented it. I can't see why the number plate of the offenders motorbike should be obscured, someone mentions it starts "GX64". http:/...

Re: sydenham needs an uplifting

Nigel.

Re: sydenham needs an uplifting

In view of all the betting shops, fried chicken/kebab shops and 'pound' shops that dominate Sydenham Road, I can't see why someone hasn't had the foresight to open a decent "Rub n' Tug" shop. Hopefully one may open soon, adorned with some suitably tasteful signage.

Re: Celebrating Brexit.

Its not an insuperable problem if you realise it and try and do something about it. But it would appear many Brexiters are in complete denial of the threats before they voted and continue to believe that 'all is well' or 'just a blip'. So if I and others are over reacting (which is possible - forec...

Re: Celebrating Brexit.

I think we're at cross purposes. My point being that the life of the 52% hasn't and any change looks a long way off. It was ultimately a swap for DC to May. Establishment to establishment. The fiasco in the middle was fun to watch admittedly and Boris' book will sell plenty, but nothing really chan...

Re: Celebrating Brexit.

Surely the real reason why there is no plan from anyone is because those that have to enforce A50 hadnt got the will or desire to actually evoke the thing. The ones that sold the country down the river have all vanished. Total shambles. Indeed, and, even more cause to celebrate (that is the thread ...

Re: Celebrating Brexit.

Well I think Cameron should step aside as he seems to want to dilly-dally over kicking off Article 50, and Roy Hodgson should be appointed in his place to ensure our rapid Euro exit.

TV - 90th Anniversary

There seems to be very little celebration of this anywhere, but Sydenham resident John Logie Baird first demonstrated a mechanical television system on 26th January 1926.
