Knickerbocker, I think the 356 is a brilliant bus service, and you are right it normally has a no hassle feeling to it. but three times i have travelled on it and had trouble with yobs, it seems to be weekends and holidays, thats why i am all for taking away the pass they use that I pay for! and ma...

:( I have had problems with yobs on the bus several times,once was when an elderly couple were getting off at their stop only to be bombarded with coke cans and empty packets of food the yobs had finished with,The crime the elderly couple had committed? None at all, so i told the yobs off and got a...

noone is asking anyone to risk life and limb. But on the other hand the job to keeping law and order in society is not just that of the police. Could you possibly have a police officer on every corner? Would you want one? However, one also has a duty not to be a moral coward. A moral coward?? What ...

If it was suicide then its bloody selfish, buy some pills, that way you don't mess up everyone elses day. You ARE kidding surely!??? :? If it was suicide, then I doubt that a desperate woman going through who knows what and feeling she could not cope with life anymore would think to herself, no I w...

Early? It was probably a late-running service that happened to go a few mins before the next one was due! As I waited for a train home at East Croydon this afternoon, a 60-minute late First Capital Connect service for Bedford arrived, followed by the one that was due an hour later! It's the poor gu...

Well Barty I think you can count out Norovirus... unless you're unable to leave the toilet, for more reasons than one!!!!

You won't get antibiotics for a virus, have to just sit it out with a box of tissues and some Lemsip. You'll live mate...

Im currently like a sardine on the 5.05pm that left early 4 some reason?? It can only get worse the further in2 rush hour it gets. Be prepared and good luck all.

Barty... the Pro No:???? Could you let me know whether I fill this in please and what it is???

quote]why should that be the case? Why shouldn't people who decided not to go to the station because they saw that trains weren't running by looking on the internet, watching the TV, or listening to the radio, not apply for a refund?[/quote] I completely agree, I agonised about whether I could get i...

Hi Barty, this is great, thanks. Can I just ask is 'Pro No:' for us to fill in or Southern? If it's for us, what is it?

I'm soon to move to Kent House Road, just wondered if anyone knows of any activities that may go on in the church hall at the foot of Kent House Road? It would be perfectly situated for someone who doesn't drive? Can't seem to find much out online...

Ah, but I wrote a Private message to someone, so not entirely true...

Well, whatever they do, it's not worth making it look too good... it's near Sydenham Girl's School!!!!!

Anyone know of any photography evening classes in the Sydenham or surrounding area? I'd really like to take it up - as a beginner that is - and am trying to find the most local classes to join...

Any ideas??

Of course, for legal reasons, everything I say here is the opinion of me only and should not be taken as fact. Your mortgage may be under threat if you cannot keep up repayments. Oh no sorry getting confused. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Btw: welcome to Sydenham - and I see you're in Lawrie Park Road, y...

It's easy to take emails the wrong way isn't it? I meant it as a funny remark actually - I knew what I was talking about, REALLY!!! :wink: BTW, any idea why an announcer would say that a train is delayed by 11 hours?? Why don't they say it's cancelled, or delayed and wait for further announcements? ...

I'm so fed up with people picking me up on minor points of my posts... okay so maybe BR (by which you KNOW ]I mean British Rail) is not the correct term - well I dunno, 'well done Southern' then!? WHATVER!! The fact is, I thought it was a funny remark and wasn't getting at anyone, it was nice to hav...

If you join the Sydenham Surgery (run-down looking place opposite Sydenham station) don't see the old guy... he can't hear a word you say, speaks over you and you get nowhere. You'll find he's ALWAYS got appointments free... :roll: I can't believe he's allowed to still practice. If you join them, al...

Thank God they sorted out those steps on the footbridge at Sydenham Station though... that was a huge accident waiting to happen...

have to wait 40 minutes with 800 other people for a train that's already overcrowded. Least excusable is the state of platform 1 and the footbridge. Someone is going to break their neck or fall onto the rails out there. To be fair, the train wasn't too crowded at all, I was on the (apparently 11 ho...
