Sydenham Town Forum

as Daily Mail readers Now I am really offended!! Is that a threat GLOBAL THINKER? - I'm sure you'd like to be at the head of the cue. If you ever muster the courage to back up your suggestions rather than cower at the back as always in your life - I'm on the 6.25 Mon-Fri. Look out for me and I can ...

As Gregs postings are getting more and more bizarre, perhaps once he has moved to the well-heeled area right at the top of the hill the low earning receptionist and 'runners' can push him over the edge :shock: Greg, your obsession with class and money is making you look very insecure and I must say ...

Hi Admin,

Any news on updating the website?

GT

But why do I often hear black people calling other black people n*****s without any reprisals? Lisa, why do you care?? Just because a minority of fools choose to use this word does not mean they have "reclaimed" it and are using it positively. It just means they are idiots with no sense o...

There is a big banner up saying a Turkish grocers will be opening soon, presumably like the one further up the high street.

I personally think Political Correctness has gone a bit too far.

In terms of what Racism, Sexism, Ageism, Social Housing ?????

Did you say something that upset someone??

I think we can agree that Sydenham needs more up to date drinking and eating establishments. Descending into abuse isn't going to make that happen. Some of these posts are getting ridiculous. This website/forum which could be used to inform and promote has become a battle ground full of personal ins...

Knats Knacker, brilliant Thank you for brightening up my workday afternoon.

Agreed people go to Kirkdale Bookshop because it is a great shop, that doesn't mean that a Homebase in Sydenham is a good idea. Spare a thought for the residents who will have to contend with increased traffic flow. My road is currently being used as a rat run by maniacal drivers who don't seem to u...

Why must there be social housing on this site??

Let's be honest, when has anyone visited Homebase in Bromley Road or Penge and then said "Let's check out the local shops"? They don't, they get in their cars and go straight home (or to Bromley). Putting another Homebase or large retail unit on this site will do nothing for Sydenham or th...

Hi Jeannie, Just curious, where would you move to? Also don't they have crime in Birmingham?? If your partner thinks we live in a rough area, I have to say compared to some parts London Sydenham isn't bad. As Gilly mentioned things have to be put into perspective. I have lived in East Dulwich and se...

Charlie, Have you contacted Sydenham Safer Neighbourhood Team, I got in touch with them quite extensively over the use of Mini Motors on my road and it seems to have worked. I know it may seem an uphill struggle but as you say it's always a few spoiling it for the many. The contact details are Team ...

Hi Admin, Just looking through the heading "Website News" with the sub heading "New to Sydenham Town" and the lastest news was 2004!, any chance of updating this info. Of course if there is nothing to report, there is nothing you can do. It just seems that a lot of the informatio...

Just having a quick look through some of the postings and it would seem to the outsider that Sydenham is not a good place to live. Surely there must be some positive views about the area (good transport links, affordable etc) I would be interested to hear (positive) opinions about shops, services et...

Jascm21,

Just out of curiosity was it a lack of suitable sites in Sydenham that forced you to go to CP or (I am being slightly contentious here) other reasons??

I am assuming you are still looking at the forum and haven't caught the 202 bus up the hill yet!

Hi I don't doubt that people are still getting over the shock that someone is actually going to open a coffee shop. Good for you. I know that the lewisham website has a database of shops for lease, or maybe you could contact Julie Sutch our Town Centre Manager for assistance, I'm sure she would be h...

Hi Lemonade,

Hello to you too and thanks for your suggestions. With the dry weather and a bit of pressure from me, other half is finishing off patio as we speak!!

Appreciate your reply, particularly with regards to sealant.

Cheers

Hi,

I have patio approx 10ft by 8ft that needs laying. Other half started but unable to finish, so if anyone knows any decent landscapers please pm me their details.

Much appreciated

Global

Thanks for your comments admin, in my opinion "accordingly" should mean that whilst we should encourage vigourous participation on the forum we should stop short of using clearly prejudicial comments, if the word chinky was replaced with another slur to describe a black or asian person the...
