Sydenham Town Forum

I might potter down just to say hello....

I must admit this is the first I've heard of this - does anyone know what the upshot was?

If the A&E goes that means that there won't be an A&E in the London borough of Lewisham. That's absurd!

of course, I'm not advocating vigilanteism

woo! vigilantism!

You, of course, have power in law to use (reasonable) force as necessary...I wouldn't recommend it though most of the time.

I was in there at about 8pm so missed you.

The one thing wrong with gara masala is the spelling on the menus - its atrocious!

There are things that can be done - it just takes tenacity, patience and resilience. The only people that have real power in this situation is the local people - but only if they stand together.

Jessie says--They think they own the street they sure do rule it at the moment. grrrrrr But they do own the streets now. no they don't its our duty as law-abiding citizens to challenge illegal and anti-social behaviour. We can't just leave it up to the police - do you know how thin the thin blue li...

keep a diary of what happens when - include as much detail as possible. Descriptions, names, times, exactly what is said and so on.... try and photograph them - do this surrepticiously. Encourage all your neigbours to do the same. after, say, a month go and present all of this to the police and the ...

I take it you have reported it to your SNT?

I always enjoy a meal there. Thursday night is "banquet night" which gives you: 1 popadum 1 starter 1 main course 1 side dish 1 rice/naan for £9.95 V. good value - but its a lot of food! I was there with 5 friends last night and we left loads! I don't think I saw you guys - as I don't thin...

Wow! 177 posts on this thread to date - I might as well wade in :) I brought the over-crowding up at the Meet the Managers session at London Bridge and judging by the reaction I got I wasn't the first person to bring it up. It's a completely absurd situation and well done all of you who have been c...

Its probably best, it means you won't have your evening spoilt by six louts in their early twenties.

ha! I'll be in there tonight too....

I couldn't agree more Boon. the crush at rush hour is absurd....I have no objection to going through barriers per se but the inconvenience and detention that is suffered whilst going through the barriers is absurd, and, in my opnion, probably unlawful. Why can't they just open them between the hours...

Does a mobile network provider offer any prepaid internet options? Thank you for all the info, LV, Slovenia Yes, you can get pre-pay USB modems which are very small modems (ie smaller than a mobile phone) that plug straight into the USB port on your PC or laptop. T-Mobile and "3" offer th...

yes, they are exactly the same and cost the same.* Ostercards are bought at tube stations, paper "classic" tickets at train stations.



*NB. You have to pay an extra refundable £3 deposit when buying an oystercard.

If you buy a monthly travelcard at the station then it will come on a paper ticket (you will also need to bring a passport-sized photograph). This paper ticket will go through the barriers at any tube/train station in zones 1, 2 or 3. You show it to the driver if you get on a bus (it will be valid o...

I guess a monthly travelcard does not cover a train journey from Sydenham? Best for a monthly daily trips to London would then be purchasing a monthly train ticket plus travelcard on Oyster...with those I can make unlimited journeys within a month? A travelcard is valid on the trains. If you intend...

Hi stone-penge I'm not familiar with the ruling in the Court of Appeal in Re Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain v Boots Cash Chemists Ltd [1953], though I'd guess it refers to leaving a shop with goods without having paid before a crime of shoplifting is deemed to have been committed? It actua...

yep - we go there from time to time. They are very helpful and have decent meat.
