Shenlong, would that be the feller who had a Renualt but now drives a Nissan Micra. Wondered why he'd changed his motor. Bad luck for him; seems like a hard worker who could well do without that sort of aggro. BTW, saw a burned out car in the middle of Home Park today, wasn't there last week. Doesn'...

Just been past there and the only bit of the high street now cordoned off is a few shops from Siverdale down to the Newlands Park lights. Station looked fully open so I would guess trains will be stopping as normal in the morning.

Good riddance then if thats what you want. There are plenty of parts of London that have all those and as far as I'm concerned your welcome to them. Oh sorry I forgot Czech Rep, you cant actually afford to buy in those places.

Have to agree; great local company. I needed reading glasses four years ago and they were very helpful and gave me decent priced options. repairs adn replacements are always reasonable and you dont feel any pressure to spend a lot.

I dont know anywhere locally Im afraid, but a friend of mine sells them at various farmers markets around London, but not in SE. I'll be getting some porcini and morrels for Christmas and if you like I'll get you some too.
