Sydenham Town Forum

I like 'The Orange Line'. :D I'll be using that name from now on. Maybe it will catch on. Ex-colleagues of mine refer to it as the “hipster express” The more important problem is that “the overground” is a network but when disruption is reported it just says “delays on the overground” which is usele ...

Here is the most relevant part of his reply (only edited out the least important bits as it wld become too wordy and they were of no relevance): I have never shared a platform with any National Front, National Party or British National Party representative. Liberty GB are just the latest ...

It appears this is who is going: And 38 degrees should empty seat him…with a bottle of Henderson's Sauce. I believe the best options for an empty seat are: Chocolate teapot (hard to find at short notice); A block of lard; a stuffed chicken. Any of these would do. Is someone going to record the e ...

If candidates start pulling out can we be told who and why this time?

There is a council in Surrey where a residents association party often wins the election, perhaps Sydenham needs this to get these Labour types who have been so useless out, and scare the rest of the council into action.

If the venues are a problem could I suggest someone picks a park and a moderator and stage an alternative. If someone won't show up empty chair them. The events could be organised at the same times as the cancelled hustings to remove excuses of "diary clash." This really is a farce if candidates can ...

I would be interested to hear from Labour if it was indeed them who derailed the event. If so the organisers should empty chair Dowd (would fit with my experience of him), you could always take the “Have I got News for you” approach. It would hardly be difficult to deal with the wiews of a man who sa ...

On the one occasion I have ever had reason to approach him in a matter that was a “practical” option he was: 1) absent (didn’t turn up to the surgery) 2) incompetent (he entirely missed the point, just forwarding on the issue on and seemed to accept any response as an “informative” one). I have had a ...

Does any one know what the vandalism at sysdenham station was that was effecting the overground and trains this morning?

The absence of the Lib Dems in Sydenham ward was very disappointing. As for the Greens and Tories, it seems they were scratching around for candidates until the very last minute, hence seeking further afield. Perhaps all the Lib Dems in SE26 are too busy, I would hope that parties would select ...

I had very similar problems during the Mid 90's when living in Inchmery Road, Catford. We lived in a converted house and lived on the ground floor. The kids upstairs would be running about at 3am screaming, etc. Ask the neighbour politely to try and keep the kids quite...... About 6 months later I ...

How often has he disagreed with party policy? Also: Voted strongly against a transparent Parliament Voted strongly for introducing ID cards Voted strongly for introducing student top-up fees Voted very strongly for Labour's anti-terrorism laws Voted very strongly for the Iraq war Voted very ...

Why does not Mr D retire? How often has he disagreed with party policy? http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/jim_dowd/lewisham_west Speaks for itself... In particular: "Has spoken in 4 debates in the last year — well below average amongst MPs. Has received answers to 9 written questions in the last y ...

You can’t view the next election as the basis of comparison as the boundaries have changed. There is an estimate of how the people now in the constituency voted at the last election: http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/cgi-bin/calcwork.pl?seat=Lewisham%20West%20and%20Penge I'm wondering how many p ...

Boiler seems to be functioning ok, but hob has been suffering from fluctuating pressure.

I have to agree Willy, the same was true the few days leading up to Christmas as well. Another gripe I have with southern is I am sure they told us at the meeting back a while ago that the London Bridge to Victoria Service would be running earlier in the mornings, which I was very pleased about as I ...

A quick question, does anyone know where there are details of the different floor areas of sites on the high street? Particularly compared to other places like a Penge/ Crystal Palace/Forest Hill/East Dulwich. It may be on correct but I often feel that Sydenham has more very small properties. It may ...
