I found this site today, looks interesting

Has anyone used it, does it work does stuff get done any quicker?

thanks

not really any help as it doesnt list buses to Bromley but there's a PDF of the Sydenham buses poster at the stops here

ah good news, hopefully they wont do that again for a while!

thanks, sounds well worth a visit!

Only other one I've found in the area is Shannon's Garden Centre on Stansted Road in Forest, has anyone been there?

We were just looking really as we were passing, it seemed pretty expensive though, some lovely plants you could spend a fortune there!!

Was going to take a look at this place towards Catford, any good?

thanks for the info Savvy I'll check them out.

We went to a garden centre in Crystal Palace (http://www.thesecretgardencentre.com/) & they had a list of people who do private work & their skills. A few had chainsaw certs etc.

Anyone reccomend a cheap tree surgeon in the local areal?

We have a tricky 3 foot stump on a concrete block that needs to be removed. I found a stumpbusters online but they cant do it because of the concrete block.

thanks

It'd be great to see hanging baskets in all of the empty posts (that have hooks) that are on the high street, it's sorely missing some green. I was thinking about the proposals walking down Penge High Street a few days ago, take a look at that next time you're there, some of it works & some does...

So the high street wont be improved for another 10 months? Groan.

One thing that was good about the Routemaster that everyone forgets. It had a rubbish engine, what that meant is the drivers cant floor it like they do now & throw everyone back hanging on for dear life. Now they have such quick acceleration they take great glee in getting a good speed up every ...

PlusNet is now part of BT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlusNet Be is now part of O2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Unlimited Admin They are part of o2 but the customer service of Be is in Bulgaria (o2 is UK) & a few other things. Good comparison between the two here... http://www.beforum.co....

Well I've taken the plunge & signed up to o2 broadband, they use the same equipment as Be at the Sydenham exchange. If you have a payg phone you save five pounds a month so up to 8mb is only 7.50 a month & it's unlimited usage - bargain. There's a 50 day full money back guarantee to quit, if...

thanks for the replies everyone. Zen sounds pretty good, I'll investigate a bit further. I just want a broadband connection & no cable/phone features, some p2p would be good so Zen sounds worth looking at.

I've been with Pipex for years but they've got slower after Tiscali took them over.

Cheers

No wishing to sway anyones vote but just curious if people thinks his football skills help or hinders Borris?

We're (finally) going to be moving to Sydenham soon & I was wondering if anyone has any Broadband Recommendations? I found out on the Sydenham exchange http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/LSSYD There are a couple of operators with their own equipment, Be, Tiscali: & Bulldog which I im...

good news
