Sydenham Town Forum

As a slight sideline , we ordered last night from Tse's on line via Just Eat , rather than ringing up direct - quoted 40 mins delivery , showed delivered after 70 mins, actually delivered after 90 - 95 minutes - food wasn't as hot as usual, not as good as usual, with one small item missing - i'm gue...

I am a member of the patients forum at SGGP The most common problem we come across is difficulty in getting appointments in response to this they are making changes. Unfortunately I cant work out how to link an image, so have just posted the text of their announcement - you will see it in full if yo...

Parker - yes another valid point - try a few till you find what you like, then stick with that one - thats what we did with Tse's about 9 years ago ( how depressing , just looked it up on my credit card), so far apart from one poor spell ( new chef maybe?), been happy with that decision and looks li...

Was in Sydenham yesterday at 13:30 to post a parcel - both self service machines were broken, apparently the engineer had been there all day, so they are obviously not that reliable. Only 2 tills were open - well it was lunchtime, but then i guess thats why there were 20 odd people ahead of me in th...

Do Starbucks operate Post Offices?

Eagle Royal Mail Parcels is what i use Sydenham Post office for on at least 95% of my visits - thats the easiest but not the only way of sending a parcel, unless of course (as i usually am) you are using a return system for a retailer that specify (or pay for) Royal Mail good point re which Sydenham...

Ive not used Beckenham much for many years , but it never seemed that busy during the week. Sydenham on the other hand, seems to be busy most of the time - how can it be loss making? maybe the P&L accounts are loaded with costs that shouldn't really be added on. It would be a great inconvenience...

i think the most interesting point to come from this is that we all have our own tastes on takeaways , so suppose for future reference the conclusion is , you'll just have to try a few till you find the right one for you

Tse's in Forest Hill has been our regular for many years
not the cheapest , and can take some time at busy periods, but very tasty, and if, like me , you react badly to too much MSG , they don't seem to use it

believe he lived in Kent House Road in the second half of the 60s ( went to school with kids from the family that lived next door, in what i think is now Albermarle Lodge) as i recall it , and i was very young at the time, they lived in the last house in Bromley, he in the first house in Sydenham Fr...

Thanks Maria - somehow that group has managed to slip past me , but I've signed up now

Sorry to hear that TheProf, Hope you didn't lose too much and there wasn't damage Welcome to the Thorpes. Unfortunately the Thorpes roads do stand out as looking more prosperous than some of the surrounding parts of Sydenham , so we do seem an attractive target for break ins. If you live right on th...

Does anyone know current status of this property development? The current look of it, is getting on my nerves. (I walk past it every day). As I understand, the original application of 107 units is under appeal.....does anyone know how it went /is going...or hopefully, when the alternative plan for ...

Thanks Rachel - hadn't thought of that angle - just got to find a leak now

thanks Savvy - Ive tried a couple on the Thames website but got no interest yet - if you can recall who it was id be interested

Our 1904 house still uses the original lead inlet supply pipe. Over time the pressure seems to be reducing , and we guess that its slowly furring up, and really needs replacing. This of course is going to be tricky as it comes under a Thorpes rubble wall and a hedge into a concrete floor.We assume s...

Glad i didn't dream that - saw it flash up on my timeline, but when I followed it up the lead went nowhere - lets hope theres something afoot - Greyhound maybe?

Owlwise - Is that a happy face for every month this project has taken?

Given Greyhounds are renowned for their speed, isn't it ironic the name is going to be forever linked with Purelake in the history of Sydenham?

hi Breezse happy to complete your survey , the trouble is my main loyalty card is Nectar - I've looked at the first two pages of your survey and its all about their website - I've visited it maybe 3 times in the last 5 years , so have nothing much to add - don't want to skew your results with a whol...
