Sydenham Town Forum

Could someone tell me what the rest of the joke is, please? By PM if it's too rude to share publicly. I've googled the punchline, but without success.

According to the index of John Coulter's 'Sydenham and Forest Hill Past' (London, 1999), the names are alternatives. On p102, there is a quote from 1858: ' Above the Jew's Walk the hill is termed West Hill or Westwood-hill...'

I agree. It's difficult to see how a Prime Minister and cabinet of such proved incompetence can survive. The Tory party must do its patriotic duty and boot them out forthwith.

Looking in vain for a motor car (although haven't watched it all.) When first might you have expected to see one in London?

We had fun making up obscene lyrics to this when I was a student.

I've now downloaded this myself as a matter of civic responsibility, but with fear and trepidation. Does it make some sort of horrible noise when you've been in contact with someone naughty?

And now for something a little more spiritual -

As someone who likes to keep up with Sydenham affairs, even when I've got little direct interest, I always look at new posts on this thread. I'm afraid however that I can no longer remember what the real issues are. I wonder whether anyone might have the time and inclination to give us a brief summa...

I'm temperamentally a late adopter. It sounds a bit complicated to me. I gather it includes a 'QR code', a term that always causes my bowels to turn to water. I shall wait a bit and see what others have to say about it.

This could be good.

We (both over 65s) got ours this morning from Wells Park Practice. Invited by text message to walk-in session, dedicated to people the initial letter of whose surname fell into a certain range. Waited for less than 5 minutes.

i don't know why Chris and Stuart hate each other so much (apart from the fact that they own rival websites, which ought not really to be a reason) and don't want to. But if they want a scrap, I wish they'd go and have it behind the bike sheds or somewhere. I, and I suspect others, really don't want...

I was on a bus today, and was surprised to hear that the recorded message told us not to stand, to sit next to the window and to maintain social distancing, but didn't mention wearing masks. It was a 122, by the way. We'd been to Crystal Palace to see 'Tenet'. More or less incomprehensible, even, I ...

All right for the young and well-toned like Stuart, but swimming is the only feasible serious exercise available to us timid and arthritic old people.. So we need the pools open soon please, otherwise we shall all have strokes and heart attacks on the NHS and cost you youngsters big money. I'm sure ...

Thanks, Stuart. I misread your earlier post as implying that the sale had actually happened. (Thought you were being ironical!)

Do you know who currently owns SE23.life, Stuart?

Thanks, I'll tell him, although I don't suppose it will put him off.

My son-in-law sings the praises of the lake at Beckenham Place Park.

Two recent sightings - Radlet Avenue and Charlecote Grove.

Not far out, maestro, but I strongly deny having been 'on the sauce' (what a vulgar expression). Just a bit manic. I must remember to take my tablets.
