The Tescos at Kirkdale looks good, and brightens it up a bit already.
And the Rioja Gran Reserva they are doing at £4.99 also helps to brighten up the grey Spring evenings.

Count me in - Sunday evening is a good time for me - probably the only time I could regularly commit to. I used to do this a few years ago and found that having a game Sunday evening was a good way of extending the weekend - it delayed me thinking of Monday morning issues for a while. Only reasoin I...

Bakerloo line trains running north of Queens Park (on their way to Harrow & Wealdstone) already use "British Rail" track - they share with services out of Euston - so there should be no problem with them running on mainline track in our area as its already happening up't North.

Unlucky for me - my season ticket (bought at Sydenham) ran out on Wednesday and was binned immediately on Thursday morning. So it seems I can't claim for the two days as I won't be able to attach a copy of the ticket.

Never mind - maybe I'll remember to keep these things next time it snows.

Never mind short platforms / long trains - a moan of mine is when drivers of short trains (e.g. 4 carriage ones) don't stop at the sign on the platform which says 4. The consequence of this at Sydenham "up" is that everyone near the bridge has to walk (run) many yards to get their train an...

There was an article in yesterday's Times reporting that 'proposed' changes to Heathrow's use of runways will cause an increase in noise to some areas, but also a decrease to others - and Sydenham was identified as one of these areas benefiting. So I can't give any reason for yesterday's noise but i...

Off topic I know - but its increasingly hard to refer to Britain as being an 'industrialised' nation (leading or otherwise) as we don't have much industry any more i.e. we don't make things. Lots of services though (but less this year I fear than last year).

Barty First its good to have your view on what's going on regarding the railways - thank you.

Well - just been to the Wood House - didn't recognise anybody - and then thought that it was the 28th and not the 29th November. Only 24 hours early but it got me out of the house.

HI - I met the owners searching for the dog this morning - they were up at Wells Park. They said they were from the Cobbs Corner area of Sydenham. Drive a Skoda. Unfortunately I didn't get their phone number - but hang on there. Maybe call the police as I believe they were going to contact them. Are...

This thread is making me feel very happy with the world - everyone is being so agreeable with each other. You each have different opinions and you are able to express them, discuss them and not necessarily agree with each other in a whole heartedly collaborative way.

Wonderful.

I agree it would be a shame if the butchers had to close and its good to see there is such concern here - I just feel they are doing butchering the way they want to do it and don't particularly want to conform with anyone else's views. I don't know this for a fact and am probably wrong but to me the...
