Sydenham Town Forum

Its delayed and cancelled at least 3 times a week. Any travel early in the morning is crap to be honest.

So they cancel my morning 05:24 train to london bridge and the next one is 05:58. That only 34 minutes plus my journey time, that im late for work! So thats nearly an hour late! Im sure if i told my boss how you have describe the way the trains work barty he'd understand and would have no problem at...

Im guessing that does make sence Barty. And by all means im not having ago at you. Im guessing they think nothing off Sydenham as its always does get cancelled and must stop at the ever so more popular stations like Forest Hill and Honor Oak. Is there no chance that if they know a train is going to ...

I get the first train some mornings which is never on time. It comes up on the screen delayed and then 10 minutes later it comes up again cancelled! Then everyone flees too the bus stops. Has made me late for work on many occassions!

Hi everyone, just wondered if anyone has had any trouble with foxes before. In the last two weeks ive had a fox trying to get in via my cap flap everynight at 3.00am, every morning!! His always on time and its driving me mad! We have started locking the cat flap at night but he still thinks he can b...

Why should the postman go out? Royal mail manager say if you fall over its your own fault, and you go out at your own risk. So if we did fall over really bad, royal mail wouldnt touch us. So if i went out and broke my leg, it would be my fault and royal mail would reduce me to half pay as soon as th...

Just thought id give an update...

Caught one in a snap trap last night, with some peanut butter. I know theres more, i can smell them!!

Hi There!

Im on Venner Road. At first i thought it was because we had the railway behind us. However ive soon reliese that most of my neighbours have them, which made me feel a bit better!

Ill keep trying, but i do think a cat maybe next on the list!

Ive had mice now for nearly 3 months and its driving me and my wife mad. Ive tried everything - poisons, glue traps, snap traps, wirewall, electonic traps, supersonic radio plug ins. They just aint going anywhere. My last resort is to buy a cat. When i went in to the DIY shop they guy said everyones...

Yep soon as my wife gets in are try and get it off her

Hiya Jess.. I recently got married. I mean like 3 months ago! We had our wedding at St Banabus Church on Downham Way. ( It wasnt my choice) - But in the end it was a great venue. More so was the hall that we hire next door! Its a big hall as we managed all our 150 guests. There is a place for you to...

Hello!

It nice to hear something good about the posties. We only hear the ulgy complaints, and never get any credit for the hard work done all year around - rain and snow. Yayy to the post people!!

No probs! Nice to meet you too!

The max bag limit is 16kg. (thats our red bag) but mines usally about 22kg because the weight off the roads i deliever, are over 16kg. My trolly that i took out today was 176kg. You may have seen your postman pushing a like red wheelbarrow trolly, these can carry about 150kg to about 180kg. So my fi...

Also...... About the elastic bands. Do you remember when they were all brown? The new red ones are biodegradable. However they shouldnt be droped on the floor nevertheless.

yep..and thats alot of letters!

Hello! Your post is late because off the delivery office moving to Forest Hill. The post peoples shifts has also changed from 6 till 2, too 6 till 4. The managers at Royal Mail want posties to work a 10 hour day. The rounds have got twice as long, making the job even harder. The trouble is the chang...

Theres always people sitting on the bench of the Post Office with cans of beer. I dont think i remember a time when they was'nt sitting there!

I also like Chef's Delight. It looks loads beter than it did a few years back. - (Shame about its Lidl bacon!) However - Penge also has a market!! It maybe just flowers, but ive never seen one in Sydenham. I think it would be a nice touch in Sydenham for a market, for people to flood around at the w...

Yeah hopefully! Good luck!!
