Sydenham Town Forum

I did wonder what the air-conditioning units which you can see in almost all internal shots would do for it's energy-efficiency rating. 'Good' to see that despite it benefitting from modern double-glazed sash windows it sets a new benchmark in it's non-green credentials being almost off the scale on...

I'm not sure where I stand on the Greyhound. Moving away from the issue of it never being a pub or hotel again and whether or not it had even been a decent pub for some time I am glad it will not be demolished even if I am slightly sad that the minton tiles/old hotel entrance seem to be 'done for'. ...

I don't know if anyone used to place any stock in the 20 Best and Worst places to live in the UK that Channel4 did each year, well it was independent but they would publish the results... The data was pretty robust and they would look at indices such as crime, education, employment, environment, lif...

Oh. I think the elevation tricked me. I presumed (wrongly) that the photograph was taken looking toward Sydenham Hill due to the high nature of the spire. When in actual fact we are looking 'down' Dallas Road and across toward the large bulding. I needed to spin myself 180degrees in my mind? Thanks ...

The link appears not to work any longer for some reason but I viewed it last night and it did seem to be that place. It's just that as it was in red brick I assumed it HAD been something and was now ramshackle rather than it having NEVER been anything in the first place. It does look like a gust of ...

Sorry for going ever so slightly off-topic Mr Gindlay but in the picture of the corner of Dallas Road...the church in the background?

It is probably perfectly obvious but I"m racking my brains at to which church it is...

Is it still in existance?

I doubt very much that Admin can stop the return of McLondres given that all one requires to join up is an active email address. Sure we'd smell him a mile off, not least because I think he's the only troll on the forum? Failing that his syntax would be a dead give away. I personally thought he got ...

Just to say that PM abuse is not acceptable. As its private I can't see it. If you think something is not acceptable please make it clear to the sender you wish to receive no more. If they refuse I will take action. Admin Thank you Admin but I've certainly been called worse! I'm not even sure if fa...

Hi Marathon, That's her. She did seem a good deal noisier than the smaller planes we tend to get. I'm hoping that it keeps to one par day which is mainly what I think I've noticed albeit only twice this week. I know I need to get out more but I was a little shocked when I first heard and saw her scr...

ooooh... Does it come fully stocked Emmanuel82? How did you know it was my lifetime's ambition to become an honorary American, in size if nothing else. I think if I lock the doors and demolish that 47 selection within a week or two I'll be there in no time! Musn't forget to book the crane to get me ...

OK. Sorry maestro. I didn't see his deleted posts. I can tell you I had one PM from McLondres but it wasn't that 'naughty' - certainly I think his guns hadn't been trained on 'little ol' me' yet. I tried not to get drawn in but I just hoped he'd get bored of trolling - clearly not. I'm sorry his jin...

Oh, maestro... I'm actually a sweaty [of sorts] myself but I thought I had done all that was funny about my Nation with 'See You Jimmy' Russ Abbot but up you pop with 'Mary Doll' Rab C Nesbitt!... I'm sure we're bordering on Xenophobia but hopefully the fact that I am Celtic (more Irish than Scotch ...

I have already, despite my inherent preferences for non-trolling and virginal moniker recieved a few PMs from McLondres...perhaps this is he but you are the chosen one and he thinks better of it? Ergo he deletes his witticisms before you can read them? Clearly you are not a...farmhand - which was th...

Does this mean he has indeed left the building Elvis-stylee (and if I search the old memory banks when a pre-wacko Jacko used to jet-off from his concerts the same announcement was made...)? Shame that McLondres. I've been busy scouring Sydenham looking for you since your trolling period began. Perh...

OK, sorry... Thanks to the new improved Google Earth I was able to ascertain 'it' is at 12 Champion Crescent, so on the corner-ish of Burghill Road and Champion Crescent. My apologies. I can see quite clearly the St Michael's School now. Sorry. Wrong directions on my part. As for regoneil - I am not...

Oh my. I'm unsure of what mine eyes have seen now Mr Grindlay. I hope Mr O'Neil [correct use of apostrophe Sir?] will not mind me mentioning but he has already mailed me to suggest the same place as your good self. I must admit I was walking briskly past but something set me in mind of a commercial ...

Aha. Mystery solved. Thank you for confirming that the one in Dacres Road is original tulse hill terry. It's in pretty good order and I was wary of thinking it original as it is so damned white - almost pristine but that is easily explained by the material. I saw it after a particularly heavy downpo...

Oops

Sorry - I missed that point completely. 3 years out of date - that's a record for me!

Another excellent post regoneil. I have already read it twice. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you, for this and part 1. I had to laugh at your mention of queues in your final sentence. I caught a program on radio4 recently in which the guest stated that we British are fantastic examples of a Western Co...

Ahem. I'll let you two sort this out. All I will say maestro is I tend to not attempt to argue with an idiot as from a distance no-one can tell the difference... I hope that comes across correctly :) Anyway, on topic. TommyP in regards the kettle I have one of these Le Creuset kettles that you heat ...
