Sydenham Town Forum

Syd that’s kind of inspiring and well done . I sometimes think we suffer from a kind of Imposter Syndrome in that we feel we don’t deserve those nice things like planters and arty bollards. Let’s face it we don’t deserve knife crime but we get that . Good luck with your planters .

Just had a quick look at the various fora on this website - I’m actually quite staggered at how little comment there has been on anything about anything .
I agree with the points about NextDoor , definitely over moderated but I suspect more a reflection of society, and I use the term loosely - that ...

Absolutely repulsive - it’s not even just more people warehousing , it will be a money spinner for people to speculate sublet and otherwise suck the life out of Penge .
No new infrastructure, the parking will be abominable even if all of Penge becomes a CPZ .
It hopefully proves beyond doubt that ...

The park is fast becoming the dreary “ entertainment venue “ that it threatened to become when Bromley council and now the CP Park “ Trust” lost its way completely.
Lightopia was in my view quite ugly , looked especially awful in daylight and now is an eyesore that won’t even compost itself . The ...

you are without doubt, hilarious, only question remaining , intentionally or unintentionally ?
I think your argument , if you can call it that ("Mr Johnson is a truly awful person") is definitely no better than the Orange Man Bad stuff we've had to listen to for years .

I think it was the ...

I think people are sick of the fetishising of the NHS and that’s the main reason why the clapping stopped .
Without doubt there are some exceptional people working in the NHS but like all organisations there are soke poor performing and decidedly unheroic people too.

Someone in the Guardian today ...

There is no reason why powered scooters could not form part of our transport system - but as it stands its basically thuggery and intimidation . As a society we love to virtue-signal our concern about the diverse needs of disabled people, children , the elderly, visually impaired - unless of ...

I think Cathy was stating simple fact and I have observed the same thing almost every time I go to Sainsbury in Penge. To call it racist (and by implication the person speaking those words) shows either a kind of hatred for others and their right to voice opinions, or a quite low intelligence.

It ...

I echo the comments re Fresh and Fruity and Billings . Both great shops staffed and managed by lovely people with very high standards .

Dead man talking - I asked admin to delete my account 2 days ago - and repeat the request again here . Since it’s still active I have to comment , hopefully my very last comment .

Stuart where do you get off accusing John H of trying to censor all discussions about Brexit!? - he simply said its ...

I think John H was saying he would NOT eat halal so doubt he would welcome your gleeful suggestion of an halal KFC.
Mosy I’ve never heard any suggestion in my life that halal slaughter is less cruel than ordinary slaughter - ditto kosher though it’s so rare in this context as to be not worth ...

I don’t the Nando’s livery , which seems to be everywhere , is anything anyone will miss . One mans vibrant is another mans poxy ,garish chicken shop etc.
I think the frontage as it stands cause less offence than other Nando’s shops and I doubt anyone hell bent on visiting it will have any ...

Not moanin’ just a straightforward observation . I think East Dulwich draws a lot of its custom from locals who walk in .
Remembering how bad things got for some peole when Zanzibar was open , it’s not an unreasonable line of enquiry.
If it were Croydon where they enforce very harshly I’d be less ...

I suspect there will be thread around mid August along the lines of “ why can’t Lewiaham stop Nando’s customers parking on the pavement/ roundabout / up my road/ zig zags etc .
Quite neutral about Nando’s - personally wouldn’t go in but appreciate lots of us very happy with it , but seriously I do ...

Have to concur, I walked past and there seemed to be a lot of suits but very little work - surely this should be treated as top level urgent given the mayhem it’s causing .
One upside - because I could get out of Lawrie Park on Friday to go to the Tasty Fish Bar in Newlands Park , I went to Kirkdale ...

Breaking news - people found posting information about local community on a local community forum - local hard-of-thinking man left shocked and angry .

When interviewed he told our reporter “ I didn’t expect to find explicit references to things going on in Sydehan when I innocently clicked on ...

I have no problem with the CP festival precisely because it finishes , as advertised at 9.30.
A load of selfish people playing loud music after that is entirely different and I can see why someone would be upset and wouldn’t brand them a moaner at all .
EUSSR , you’d hate it living near me ...

Is there something wrong with being concerned that what you thought was a genuine Big Issue seller is actually part of some gang activity from Romania ? And if you think the system is being abused is it wrong to stop donating to it ?
People “ get “ slavery when it comes with the accoutrement of ...

Good luck and thanks for the greyhound tile mural - at times I think those 5 millimetres of ceramic tile is all that kept the building standing !
