Thanks for sticking up for me Ginge. Eagle, I can park across my dropped kerb because it's MY dropped kerb. In fact, I don't - because that would be silly as I have a drive! Don't gang up on us that have drives. Maybe we should start on people that un-necessarily drive. What about the folks of Syden...

Hello, I am guilty, I'm afraid, of turning my front garden into a drive :oops: . In my defence, I have kept shrubs and plants (AND a tree!) either side as I don't wish to lose all of the birds that visit. I loved my front garden and was quite reluctant to convert it into a drive. My reason in doing ...

Hi Lemonade, I have the same problem! I have a beautiful christmas garland that sits over my dining room mantelpiece. I have got it out this year and the fairy lights that are weaving in and out of the garland are not working. I've tried all the things you suggested - checking each individual bulb o...

Yes Steve, it is Brockley Rise (I checked the A to Z to be sure!). It is very, very good. We've never eaten in the restaurant, only had takeaways. We get a bottle of their house wine with most orders (and it's a very nice wine) - whether this is because we order sooo much or because we are such regu...

Yes Leaf, totally agree - we are regulars too. Have you tried Bengal Barburche? They are just a bit further up (opposite where the old Barclays Bank used to be), can't think for love or money, the name of the bloody road! Anyway, they are on the same par as Elachi. PS Does anyone know the name of th...

Bell Green
I have been showing this site to my mum recently and she was wondering if anyone knows the history behind 'Bell Green'? Why is it called Bell Green? My mums thinks that a bell used to sound at certain intervals during the day to signal the workers that lived locally. Not sure if this is true. Does a...

Try Rascals ball park in Bellingham Leisure Centre. It is a fraction of the price that Gambados charge (and their membership scheme for the balls is well worth joining and not a rip off like Gambados memberships). I used regularly take my daughter to Gambados before discovering Rascals. My daughter ...

Oh wow! Flashback!! I remember the days of the floats. I was actually on one. It was for the Children's Hospital and I had to sit in a wheelchair and pretend to be injured!! I had a nice, groovy pink quilted dressing gown bought especially for the occasion. Those were the days......... Why can't we ...

Fallkor, Brilliant!! I have spent ages sitting here trying to work out the roads that I know in Lower Sydenham (including my own!). Absolutely fascinating. My mum says she remembers her mum telling her about the direct hit that Fairlawn Park took (next to St Philips Primary School) and by the look o...

Hi, I have problems with Freeview too. I have it in my dining room and in my bedroom and the signal strength is poor. Sometimes I receive pictures and sometimes it's patchy and 'cuts out'. Admittedly, I am only using indoor aerials. We never got round to getting a roof aerial as we have Sky in the l...

Falkor, Wonderful. That has been truly marvelous to look at. Thank you. What a shame it was destroyed. Leaf, My Nan saw the fire too. She lived in Penge with her parents and was a young girl at the time and said it was the most spectacular thing (the fire that is!) that she had ever seen. She says t...
