i'm sure your incoming and outgoing server names are screwed. First step - to check this, try telnetting to your email server and see if you get anything back. I assume you're using Windows, so click Start > Run and type "telnet". Press OK. In the window that says "Microsoft Telnet>&...

What I don't understand is, haven't they got anything better to do with their time?

Another minor thing would be the single screen in the station saying when the next train is... It's not minor, it's very annoying and I wish they'd install another screen at the other end of the platform. I like to walk down to the front of the train at Sydenham, because walking from the back of th...

Our Virgin Media TV and broadband has been working all weekend, but the phone has been down for weeks - don't care as we don't use it.

I find that VM's products are great, but their Customer Service is shocking.

For your commute to Liverpool Street you're looking at a train to London Bridge, which takes 15-20 minutes, then a short tube journey (just one stop on each of the Northern and Central lines) to get to Liverpool Street. Alternatively, Liverpool Street is about a tewnty-minute walk from London Bridge...

Another thumbs up for MD Furnishings. On the back of the above recommendations, I popped in on Saturday afternoon to choose a new bedroom carpet. Michael came to my house to measure up that evening and immediately gave me a fair quote. The fitter was here on Thursday morning and did a great job. The...

I was on a train yesterday that stood still between Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park for a good fifteen minutes - apparently there was a faulty train further up the line.

The last post has left me speechless. If is it a joke not sure it is funny If serious then one of the most anti social postings I have ever seen. I better not say anymore If you look at the rest of that person's posts, it's clearly just a very bored person trying to wind people up. --------- Search...

Regarding the possibility of an REAL indoor market, what would people like to see in one, if one did happen. Perhaps? I'd like to see: - a fishmonger with fresh products - a knowledgable butcher - organic fruit and veg - good quality, unique homeware EDIT: didn't realise that I've worded that in ex...

When I read the post, I thought that it was something to do with the proposals for a market in the old delivery office, which is incidentally something that I'm really looking forward to!

So, what has actually just opened on the High Street?

What stalls are there in the new indoor market?

Can anyone recommend a good, local(ish) piano mover? I need to move an upright piano from the ground floor of a house in Essex to the ground floor of a house in Sydenham, so it's not a particularly complicated move.

Anything's better than the Greyhound in its present state, but I'm not sure that the retail spaces are a great addition - there are already several empty shops on the high street at the moment. Let's hope I'm proved wrong and that new businesses are attracted to the development. I also echo Lee's co...

I wish they'd sort that out too! It definitely puts my girlfriend and I off the place.

What, both of them?

cycle paths separated from the bits used by motor vehicles Sorry Mike, but I disagree. Many of the problems that we cyclists face stem from some drivers believing that we don't belong on the roads with them. Separating us from motor traffic or, even worse, mixing us in with pedestrians, just reinfo...

Same here - and make sure you exit by the rearmost set of doors if you want to dash through the ticket barrier before the scrum builds up!

1. There is no intention to place "road humps" in Sydenham Road. 2. There is no attempt to "narrow" Sydenham Road. 3. Nowhere on this scheme is there pavement widening. ...etc I've nothing further to add to your post other than my voice in complete support. ...and besides, even ...

The problem we have is that there appears to be no strategy. Julie Sutch should have a plan of action, a strategy for the gaps in the market that are missing, what businesses we should be attracting to the high street. You've hit the nail on the head there Lee. I would very much like to know what J...

That's funny, about two weeks ago I was walking down Kirkdale, having bought some fish and chips. A dodgy looking bloke approached me, pushing a red mountain bike; he stopped me in the street and asked if I'd like to buy the bike, as he needed money to buy a train ticket to London Bridge "to se...
