Is this LTN now permanent?

Has anyone tried it yet? I only noticed it was no longer Zigghy’s about a week ago; has it been there months already?

I heard that it is going to be a florist.

Has anyone navigated this website easily?

I have been going round in circles to try and find out if I need to pay a charge. I didn’t think I had entered the zone but wanted to check. I had to set up an account just to check; it doesn’t seem to have a facility to put in your registration number to ...

I love it!
Pretty sure the article said they were done for free by Siemens.

Good news!

Okay, I know it’s not Sydenham BUT thought it deserved a shout out!

All swimming is good but given the fact that local indoor pools are still closed (although I believe Downham has reopened) and the amazing weather I figured it was worth a try swimming outdoors. I have been unsuccessful in booking ...

Thanks. I actually think that is who came!

I think this Thursday’s clap may be the last one. I am sure I read it somewhere. We should make it count if it is the last one!

Looking for recommendations for a local locksmith who charges a fair price, to sort out the handle and locking mechanism on a UPVC door.

Thanks.

Thank you for this update.

I was just in traffic heading down Kirkdale to Cobbs Corner and saw a white cat lying on the pavement (outside No 200). I pulled over to have a look as the scene looked weird - the white cat lying on its side and a holdall on the wall next to it. I went to look and sadly the cat is definitely dead ...

This sounds like the same guy who is often at Sainsburys and now Aldi. His common requests are money for a hostel, money to get a ticket to visit someone in hospital and money for petrol (not asked for that recently though). I see him practically everywhere I go in Sydenham.

My first thought is it reminds me of the development on the old greyhound track in Catford. I’ve not been in it but have been past it and it looks and feels strange. I can’t quite put my finger on it.

I don’t understand the plan in that the retail park is getting a new Aldi in a couple of weeks ...

Lovely!

I was also woken up by what sounded like gunshots. I am in lower Sydenham not far from the Catholic primary school. I heard one police siren a short while afterwards but then nothing after that. Any news anywhere about it?

I used Prolux today to clean my carpet on the stairs and landing. I was very impressed with the service the company gave from start to finish. The fact they do Sundays was perfect for me. From start to finish it was very quick - 20 minutes total to clean the carpet and most of the stains came out ...
