Yep deffo a job for a proper electrician, now Im thinking at some point in the past I may of taken the 45 fuse out and put it back in the wrong place.

Baths only until the electrican comes!

ahh the plot thickens! Just went to cook my sardines on the oven grill (discount at waitrose!) and the oven is not working! checking the other fuses I find a 30 amp wire fuse is blown and so replaced it , oven still not working! put in 45amp cartridge, oven works therefore 30 amp fuse for shower cir...

Hi illumance, thanks for the input.The shower fuse is a cartridge type, the shower is a 10.8 k unit ,distance from fuse box to shower is no more then ten feet.all the wiring for the shower was installed by a proper sparky some 5 years ago, the cable is marked 300/500v.One thing I did notice was that...

Hello lemonade! Can I ask you a question (its a long one I'm afraid) First of all I will be calling an electrician anyway ,but Im just trying to understand what's going on. Yesterday all the power in the house went off whilst my wife was in the middle of having a shower! Checking the fuses where ok ...

I saw some cut price pumkins at homebase in penge.

I'll tell you some more 'ghost stories' that have happened to my family. My aunt and uncle lived in , I won't say where but a kent town in the 60's and 70's they lived in a huge pile of an victorian house that was very dark and gloomy and did have a dark & gloomy atmosphere. My cousin's room was...

....or maybe this thread is about ghost stories of sydenham and he/she was entering into the spirit of things? [no pun intended] Yes I thought the thread was a fun invitation to post stories of ghosts in Sydenham not a discussion of rationality verses pseudoscientific phenomena. However, as every r...

Stone-penge Still-Robbo; you are confusing the natural world with the super natural one. The laws of physics need not apply in the latter one.(and obviously don't) Yeah I'm odd like that, I prefer to see the beauty in what actually exists rather than flights of fancy. That isn't odd, just a bit sti...

How can something be white and non-reflective? "white" is actually what we see when all colours are reflected, "black" when none are. If it was albinio then it would be white (or whiteish depending on the degree) and pretty clear against a dark background, though not necessarily...

Ok heres the ghost story I have, It's not quite Sydenham , but Penge I'm afraid. My friend used to live in a house on Thicket road back in the late eighties, he claimed to of once looked out his window and seen walking down the road,just on the corner of Orchard Garden, a woman who was totally white...

Went to TDA last night ,for the first time ever, its great ,but very smokey can't wait for the Dolphin to reopen in a similar, but smoke free ,atmosphere

Well I don't know if the police are back on the beat or not , but it took them 15 minutes to attend after three armed robbers did over the newsagents thats halfway along Newlands Park this morning.
Great response to a 999 call ,that's next door to police premises-no!

I don't know about that store but a lot of stores and sites like that have been brought by the large supermarket groups to either develop into latenight shops (which destroy local shops!) or are left owned but undeveloped by them to prevent their rivals doing the same(which leaves the high street wi...

My wife had her handbag snatched tonight as she walked home from Sydenham staion on Newlands Park. She's ok , just a little upset. The robber was a youngish white boy with a skinhead haircut on a mountain bike. The police said they've had reports of a number of these events recently. The robber came...

Can anyone recommend a decent local builder/handyman to lay a new path to my front door?

I can almost hear the tumble weed bowling down Sydenham high street as the politicians sweep the area under the carpet again.

Shouldn't this be in the 'Stripping wood' thread?

Keep up the good work folks! Wish I was running the British 10k with you, but I'm often round pounding the streets of Sydenham and surrounds, so will probably bump into you in training (hopefully not literally!). Sounds like a good route stone-penge. Actually that sounds like a long way - have you ...

Has anyone got anymore info from St Christophers? I sent off all the forms they posted to me but was expecting a race number or t shirt or sumink. Still have nearly ran the 6 miles or so the course is: I start from Newlands park, over the railwayline at Penge east ,into Crystal Palace park , climb t...

The person at Bromley council to contact about the delayed opening time is Colin Brand.
