Try Brian Brooks (07909-863980). He's done lots of work for us, from small jobs to big jobs. He's honest, professional, reliable, and reasonably priced. He won't rip you off or leave you in the lurch.

Help needed from Mac expert to transfer data from hard drive
Is there anyone who is a Mac expert? I need to transfer data (foolishly, I didn't back up) from the hard drive of my old iMac (2006 model) to my new one. I need to point out that, from what I've been told, the "power supply" doesn't work on the old one, which is why it won't switch on. Ide...

What's happened at Blue Mountain?
Walking past Blue Mountain last night, I noticed a letter in the window. It was written in legalese, and seemed to suggest that there have been some sort of problems with the lease or money. I hope it's not going to close.

Motorcyclists stealing bags
A shopkeeper in Kirkdale has told me that there is a gang of motorcyclists wearing balaclavas who are riding noisily through Sydenham in the early evening trying to steal bags from people. She also said they sometimes pull up alongside cars and try to snatch bags. It's been going on for a month, app...

Wonderful Kirkdale Bookshop
I'd just like to say what a little gem we have in Kirkdale Bookshop. There's always such a good variety of books to choose from. The staff do a great job in finding the good stuff. I've recently bought Clive James' Sentenced to Life, Greg Watts' The Long Road Out of Town, and Oliver Sacks' On the Mo...

New Lebanese restaurant
Popped into the new Lebanese restaurant in the high street yesterday and came away impressed. The flat bread with lamb and vegetables was pretty good, as was the houmous. Not the best I've tasted, but good enough to make me return. The owner is friendly, although he's a bit slow when it comes to ser...

Crystal Palace park cafe
I went to Crystal Place park cafe at the weekend. Boy, it's pricey for what they're offering. Sandwiches in a wrapper: £3.80, cappuccino: £2.70. ANd it's not the classiest of joints, it has to be said.

Re: NEW CAKE SHOP IN SYDENHAM opening soon
Signage is only one part of attracting customers. Location and what you are actually selling are more important. I can't help but wonder whether a number of businesses that have recently opened in Sydenham have got these factors right. Ones that spring to mind are the children's shoe shop at the Syd...
