Amen to that. I sincerely hope the OP will just go away and stop subjecting us to his hate-mongering.

Re: FREE METAL FOR ALL

The heading of this subject isn't particularly funny on the day after the Hepworth statue in Dulwich Park was stolen - presumably for scrap metal.

Re: Wooster & Stock and the Woodman (former) Pub

I can sympathise with most of the opinions on this thread. Yes, it is a shame that the Woodman cannot continue to be a pub. But it seems that none of the succession of publicans could make it pay. If it can't be a pub, then it would be best used rather than stay empty. An estate agent doesn't really...

My policeman friend says that if this happens to you, try to remember their shoes - it's the one thing they can't take off or change easily.

Re: Online anonymity

No. There is enough online fraud as it is without putting my real name or any other personal details on here. When I meet anyone from the forum personally "in real life", I do, of course, use my real name, and I know theirs. I cannot say the same of any random who is looking at the forum.

Those plans are great - obviously well thought out by people who know the street. Let's hope it actually happens!

I've never used either - but I keep meaning to pop into the chippy and take my winter coats in to be drycleaned! Will report back once I have! :)

Re: This forum and the Sydenham Society

Syd Society Members probably don't post coz this is all a bit too 'lowbrow' for them... too many mealy mouthed anti-immigration, tabloid reading ranters going on about 'benefit scum' and calls for a fat-tax. I would guess its all a bit tedious for for people who are above the mire -maybe they have ...

Re: Benefit cheat

No one likes a grass. Personally, I love grasses. If they can do anything to stop people callously making themselves (comparatively) rich by fraudulently claiming benefits that are designed to help genuinely vulnerable people, then all the better. What people don't understand is that every pound st...

Re: Congestion on Kirkdale and Sydenham Road

Eastbound traffic was going along Dartmouth Road this morning, but when I got back from work this evening it seemed to have been switched around. Pretty horrific - I'll be walking to the station for the foreseeable future!

Re: The pub on the kirkdale roundabout

Juliet I agree with you that we need more decent pubs , but I can assure you that the Old Greyhound has not been a decent pub for at least 40 odd years. Ah, yes, must admit that as a relatively recent "immigrant" to SE26, I haven't ever seen either the Woodman or the Greyhound open. Was j...

Re: The pub on the kirkdale roundabout

If true, this is really bad news. First the Woodman and now the Greyhound. Are we going to lose all the half decent pubs? And though no one is going to cry over the demise of the Two Half's, overall it shows a really worrying trend away from pub/restaurants towards non-food commercial. :( And the su...

Re: Parliamentary Constituency Changes for Lewisham

I just moved from Camberwell to Sydenham and one of the best side-effects was that Harriet Harman is no longer my MP! If she follows me here I may cry!
